aespa LEMONADE MV Teaser Released Ahead of May 29 Album Launch

aespa released the music video teaser for “LEMONADE,” the title track from the group’s second full-length album, at 12 a.m. KST on May 28 through channels including YouTube’s SMTOWN channel. The teaser arrived one day before the scheduled release of the full music video and digital music at 1 p.m. KST on May 29.¹

The aespa LEMONADE rollout is centered on the group’s second full-length album, also titled “LEMONADE,” which is set to include 10 tracks. The album’s track list includes the title song “LEMONADE” and the pre-release track “WDA (Whole Different Animal).”¹

aespa LEMONADE MV Teaser Sets Up Main Release

The newly released teaser places the focus on “LEMONADE” as the main track for aespa’s album comeback. StarNews reported that the song is an electronic dance track built around a strong, trendy synth bass sound, positioning the teaser as the final video preview before the album’s official release.¹

allkpop also reported that the teaser was released at 12 a.m. KST on May 28 and highlighted choreography and performance scenes matched to the sound of the new song. The report described the video preview as part of the final lead-up to the May 29 album release.²

The timing matches the earlier promotional schedule for “LEMONADE.” Electronic Times reported on April 21 that aespa had released a schedule poster through official social channels at 12 a.m. KST, listing a trailer video for April 27, a highlight medley for May 25, and the music video teaser for May 28. The same schedule set the album release for 1 p.m. KST on May 29.³

That sequence makes the May 28 teaser the last major listed teaser item before the full release. Dong-A Ilbo, citing News1, also reported that the schedule poster included the May 28 music video teaser and the May 29 1 p.m. album release, along with imagery connected to aespa’s storyline, including a rupture in space-time and a collapsed road.⁴

Album Includes “WDA (Whole Different Animal)”

The second full-length album “LEMONADE” contains 10 songs, with “LEMONADE” as the title track and “WDA (Whole Different Animal)” among the included tracks.¹ The presence of “WDA” gives the album rollout an additional pre-release component that preceded the title-track teaser.

Korea Economic Daily reported that “WDA (Whole Different Animal)” featured G-Dragon, who participated as a featuring artist and contributed to rap making for the track. The song was scheduled for pre-release at 6 p.m. KST on May 11, ahead of the May 29 release of the full album “LEMONADE.”⁵

SBS Entertainment News similarly reported that aespa entered the comeback countdown with the pre-release single “WDA” before the second full-length album. The report stated that G-Dragon participated as the featured artist and was directly involved in making his rap part.⁶

The “WDA” promotion also included its own music video teaser, which SBS Entertainment News reported was released through channels including aespa’s YouTube channel at 12 a.m. KST on May 8.⁶ That separate preview helped establish the album’s pre-release phase before attention moved to the “LEMONADE” title track teaser on May 28.

Release Schedule Remains Focused on May 29

The confirmed schedule points to May 29 as the main release date for aespa’s second full-length album. The full “LEMONADE” music video and music are scheduled to be released at 1 p.m. KST on May 29, following the May 28 teaser.¹

Reports from both Korean and international outlets align on the timing. allkpop reported that aespa’s new album is scheduled for release at 1 p.m. KST on May 29, while earlier Korean reports on the schedule poster carried the same album release time.²³

The available source material does not provide a full track-by-track breakdown beyond confirming 10 total songs and naming “LEMONADE” and “WDA (Whole Different Animal).” It also does not provide detailed production credits for “LEMONADE” beyond the description of the track’s electronic dance style and synth bass sound. The confirmed public focus, therefore, remains the teaser release, the title track’s sound direction, the album’s 10-track scope, and the May 29 release schedule.
