People thought aespa's lore is just for fun but their lore is actually much more deeper than that. When they make their debuted and announced about the ae- and avatar concept, SM and aespa were getting harshly criticized by the media, general public and KPOP community but little did they knew that aespa's concept is basically about the real and cruel situation that happened in social media and to the celebrities. 'The misusing of social media led to calamity'. Groundless rumors and gossips (Winter), cyber bullying (Ningning), public pressure (Karina), deep fake crimes (Giselle), all of these are some of the horrible things that usually happened to the idols/celebrities/public figure.
This is insane....SM truly has such a creative team , everything links back to the beginning, and it is this fantastical lore which so compellingly draws the audience in, so magical and wonderful....looking forward to see more of SM Universe. Karina=> insecurities Giselle => pressure Ninning => negative and hate comments Winter => gossips/rumors

The fact that this => looks like a smiling face from a perspective is quite ironic 🙂
The reason it was in a comic book style when ae-karina called is because she called from the FLAT so everything was flat and 2d. When they synk dive its 3d to show both the physical world and the flat merging both the ae-members with the real members. The change in art styles/ live/ animation is to show the change and linking of the different worlds/dimensions, which I think was really cool and creative. I was like u at first I was like “I waited a year for fxxking pictures?!?!”

Actually it's on purpose and they said that they will incorporate CAWMAN in SMCU. C is for “Cartoon” A is for “Animation” W is for “Webtoon” M is for “Motion graphics” A is for “Avatar” N is for “Novel” Also, it's better that the scifi aspect is animated because it would be so cringey if it would be real life.

You need to read the lyric of aespa's song (black mamba, next level, savage and even illussion). It's all about the story line of this aespa's smcu.
From what I've gathered so far, Kwangya is the "internet", where basically ANYTHING can happen, just like how Kwangya was said to have no rules but 2. It's amazing how SM came up with this concept because of how integrated our lives are with the internet. And to build a universe in that limitless medium, it's just genius
I don’t mind with the lack of “live acting” because i know for sure this sh!t is hard to do so why don’t we just appreciate what they gave

As someone who like anime like me i didn't mind it actually i liked the vid .... however we should respect people opinion he just don't like animation direction....plus he didn't say anything insulting
A little reminder that SM uses CAWMAN, which means Cartoon, Animation, Webtoon, Motion Graphics, Avatar, Novel. Its basically the different styles of animation with animators doing their hardwork for this. As a visual artist, lol the animation was astounding and animation is really hard.
The train was also used for the big concert that aespa and red velvet and other sm artist did on KZread
At first I got the impression that this episode shows us few things about their story. But it's because it explains a lot about some things that we did saw in their MVs, but it was too much to understand (after all it's a music video). However, as I like them very much I rewatched it and I started to apreciate the amount of work SM put in this. The drawings, 3D production, transitions, suspense... it's so good. They are really promoting aespa right. Which girl group has this kind of investment? A whole series? SM Culture Universe is taking us to the kpop Next Level
I think many people not notice this but here 14:23 , they are doing like deep fake on Gigi mocking her, like in her rap part on Savage

SM using CAWMAN As you can see in next level introduction and it stand for C-CARTOON A-ANIMATION W-WEB TOON M-MOTION GRPAHIC A-AVATAR N-NOVELb and that's why you see they change to animation, comic then avatar bcs this how CAWMAN is.. You know doing animation is take a lot lottttttt of time then makiny shooting in real life.. I'm study in animation and multimedia stuff so that's why I know how hard this is.. So BAKSU to SM, cawman and who involve in this and also ofcourse aespa which did a very great job🔥🔥❤
Idk why y'all mad in the comments 😭 Im also sad he didn't like it but he's being honest at least like he ain't faking it

SM uses CAWMAN that's why there are switches with the animations and stuff.
CAWMAN is stands for Cartoon, Animation, Webtoon, Motion graphics, Avatar, and Novel.
You need to rewatch every aespa lyric song. Their already pass the hallucination quest, next episodemaybe the girl will fight with black mamba.
You don’t get it at the end of episode.. Naevis can’t go to kwangya but she sacrifice herself to help them.. this is related to the savage lyrics.. to understand that you should watch savage mv and watch this episode 👍🏼
lol youre the only person i have seen who didn't like the animation lol and it's not awkward kinda disappointed
*proceeds to focus on singing while next level instrumental is playing* Then asked "What is even happening" lmao 🤦 Worst reaction and analysis ever.

*SMCU* (SM Culture Universe)❤️ "We are now going through a turbulent fourth industrial revolution in which not only COVID-19 but also other diseases and climate change can occur at any time. In the future, there will be more changes in human lifestyle as technology advances, and as I said before, the future world will become a world of celebrities and robots. We mentioned SM Culture Universe (SMCU) as a key value and vision for the future entertainment world, and we will introduce new girl group Aespa as the first project that will soon open the beginning of future entertainment." -Lee Soo-man By 2004, SM Entertainment had been working to produce their own culture universe. During the planning stage, Lee Soo-man thought of creating a worldview with "innovative and powerful" storytelling between SM groups since H.O.T Kangta to Aespa. SMCU as a vision for the future entertainment with "new and innovative" ways as they have done so far. SM Entertainment and Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for a joint metaverse study. SM had teamed up with Marvel, Creative Artists Agency, and Intel, among other global companies, to make the culture universe. The Project : - Aespa - CAWMAN (Cartoon, Animation, Webtoon, Motion Graphic, AI, Novel) - Smart Content - Artificial intelligence and robots - Digital avatar production - Collective academic research on Culture Technology (CT)
I just really hope any CAWMAN, aespa girls and SM staffs didnt hear this. Very dissapointing comments
SMCU use CAWMAN concept (Cartoon, Animation, Webtoon, Motion Graphic, AI/Avatar, Novel)

Thanks for your reaction irregardless of whether you like it or not haha, do react to aespa newer vlogs in Coachella and also life’s too short behind the scenes if you can too! Will love to see it 🤭 thanks!
the awkward part at the first time they landed in kwangya, that was in purpose that many things they've been through in kwangya, but all the things wasn't in main part against the black mamba. I really love how black mamba, next level, and savage MV match well with this episode. In episode 1, they only told us how aes become human part in real life.
Y'all take them too seriously when it comes to his opinions on this video😂 Please, it's not the end of the world if somebody doesn't like the animation. He's just saying his thoughts and that's it. Why make a big deal of that? It's not like he's affecting your life. If you don't like it, then leave. What's the point of writing a hateful comment
This is so amazing.
Ep.3 is coming up now!! I wait to see your reaction!!!!!!!!
I recommend you to watch the explanatory of the episode in 김일오 15KIM channel the title : [SUB] [뮤비해석] 내 SNS 계정이 사람이 되어 나타났다....... (소름주의)ㅣSMCU aespa ep.2 Next Levelㅣ에스파 세계관 정리 4편 it has engsub in it, this channel even got invited directly by sm ent. to SMCU premiere. It has a really good explanation of the details such as why they the reporters suddenly change to giselle's face, why there's a lot of unidentified faces in winter part, and many other details. what amaze me the most from this channel explanation is the reason of black mamba in doing such attack, it represent the rapid development in technology and the immorality of the community. You should watch it, it is so gooddd
If you remember Savage, it was called Hallucination Quest. This is the whole thing, and as a hallucination, it's meant to look awkward and trippy. But I kinda remember you saying you weren't actually into animation? So yeah, it does look a lot like graphic novels at some point, comics at others, and The Sims 2 at the rest. They did a great job of tackling the issue of the negative comments and the expectations that people have of them.
Omgg the giselle photography scene… does it connect to life’s too short? Woww! And now the connection between ningning and emojis
Omg I've been waiting for this

I am not sure what you were expecting in SMCU series so idk. Ep 1 is about Black Mamba, Episode 2 is Next Level with a bit of Savage, Ep 3 is expected to be Savage(and prolly Girls too) esp Naevis parts. I find it offending how you're into the story(?) but don't understand why CAWMAN is incorporated into these series.

Same thoughts. I find it offending as well when he said that the art makes it "awkward" when in fact it's there for a reason and makes everything more sense. I understand that he's not a fan of the art but atleast appreciate the Effort of the ARTISTS and ALL the people who made all this possible. As a fan and reader of Cartoon, Webtoon, Manga, Manhwa & Novel this really ticked me off.
If you don’t like art this must not, I admit, be made for you. Since SM really focused on emphasizing various form of art ( or animation) in this episode, to create an environment full of diversity and reflect the different dimensions. Which I personally find really relevant regarding the all story and concept and quite visionary as well. Anyways I still found your reaction a bit disrespectful towards the artists who worked so hard on this project maybe if you rewatch your reaction you will realize how it can be interpreted as rude. I usually enjoy your reactions but this time i’m a little bit disappointed. And don’t get me wrong you’re totally allowed to not like it but it’s more in the way you express it that resides the problem, it sounded a little bit condescending.
Finally episode 2 🔥🔥🔥
Yay finally!!!!!!
A LITTLE SUMMARY EP 2 : Naevis tells them about BM they SYNK DIVE ; connecting senses with ae while physical body is in real world.. go to kwangya.. see a train and get on it unaware it's BM.. Giselle reads it's BM with her language knowledge.. Winter breaks rule of kwangya by touching flower petal.. BM put them in hallucinations Hallucinations Black Mamba made each memeber face were actually the brutal hardships idols have to face each day Karina - pressure of always being perfect, facing insecurities Giselle - The lack of privacy, every move being accessed Winter - victim of malicious rumors, comments Ningning - Cyber Bullying, facing hate for no reason Karina realises it's not ae but BM when butterfly sheds light on their feet and breaks hallucination Then they are faced by BM physical form and ep ends
this reaction is the worst reaction of smcu ep 2
they already stated since the announcement of SMCU that they'll be doing CAWMAN production which is a combination of Cartoon Animation Webtoon Motion Graphics Avatar Novel so don't expect much 3D or actual aespa acting
Hahahaa love the way you lipsync during Next level’s instrumental hahahaha 😎

I have to say did you still remember Naevis said “don’t even look back”, but then in Savage music video, Winter looked back at the last moment, so she might already be the boss. (Just guess)
