aespa Drops Debut Japanese Mini Album "KISS N TELL"

aespa has officially released its first Japanese mini album, "KISS N TELL," along with the music video for the title track.

The six-track project became available on streaming platforms at midnight on July 24, while the music video premiered simultaneously through the SMTOWN YouTube channel.

The title track, "KISS N TELL," is a house-based dance-pop song built around bright piano melodies and rhythmic beats. Its lyrics explore growing closer by sharing one another's worries, while layered vocal harmonies give the song a futuristic atmosphere.

The accompanying music video takes place at an amusement park, showcasing a lighter visual concept than many of the group's recent Korean releases. The video features colorful cinematography, point choreography and playful styling throughout.

In addition to the title track, the mini album includes "ATTITUDE," the opening theme for the television anime Kill Blue, "In Halo," which was released as an OST for the Japanese drama Hatsukoi no Kuchi, as well as new tracks "Orbit Pop," "Fangirl," and "Done with Rules."

Following the album's release, aespa is scheduled to perform at Lollapalooza Chicago 2026 in Grant Park on August 2.
