When asked about their charms, Yuna said, "Winter is very affectionate, sings well and is cute. I like those things," and Keina said, "Giselle is first of all cute, and I respect her ability to speak several languages such as English, Japanese and Korean."
The two agreed on why aespa receives especially strong love from female fans. Yuna explained, "I think you come to like them more because you want to resemble them and you feel admiration," and Keina agreed, "They are cool and beautiful, and because girls want to be like aespa, many female fans like them."
They said they actually watched all of aespa's performances at Tokyo Dome, and as the reason they keep watching aespa's shows they said, "When I watch the performance I am moved and overwhelmed. And it motivates me to work harder." Keina added, "Seeing aespa work so hard makes me feel I should work harder too."
The two, who said that their interest in Korean culture naturally started with K-pop, said, "We like K-pop and are also very interested in Korean beauty. We want to try aespa's style," and added, "We have not been to Korea yet, but we like spicy food so we definitely want to go," laughing. Finally, they delivered heartfelt messages to aespa that drew attention. Yuna said she hoped, "Thank you so much for coming to Japan; please rest well and come again," and Keina revealed her fandom by saying, "I will like you for life."
Among the fans who came to Tokyo Dome were those who found each other through friendships that crossed borders and attended the concert together. Niko (27) from Indonesia and Shimizu (25), who lives in Tokyo, met as friends while studying in Indonesia in high school, and now that Niko has found employment in Japan they are once again watching an aespa concert together in the same country.
The two, who said they are fans of Karina and Ningning, agreed on aespa's charms, saying, "We like that they are pretty and cute." Shimizu said, "I became a fan about two years ago. After I became interested in K-pop, I naturally came to like aespa," explaining how she became a fan.
Through this concert, the two said they would see aespa's stage for the first time. Shimizu said, "I'm excited because this is the first stage I'm seeing," and Niko also expressed excitement, saying, "It's my first aespa concert, so I'm thrilled."
