aespa is teaming up with convenience store chain CU to supercharge hype for their comeback — and the buzzworthy collab drink is already going viral.
Timed to the group’s comeback day, CU will launch the collaboration product ‘aespa Lemonade Highball’ on the 29th.
The drink is a co-branded item inspired by aespa’s 2nd full album ‘Lemonade’ concept. It’s an RTD (ready-to-drink) highball that blends zesty lemon aroma with crisp carbonation, featuring Sicilian lemon concentrate and fresh lemon slices for a sweet-and-tart lemonade profile.
It comes in four editions, each featuring a different aespa member — Karina, Giselle, Winter, and Ningning — instantly catching fans’ eyes. Priced at 4,500 won, a limited ‘aespa Lemonade Highball Special Set’ will also be sold, which includes a thermochromic cup that turns lemon-yellow when you pour in a cold highball.
From the 30th to June 14, CU will run pop-up stores dedicated to the aespa Lemonade Highball at its Yeouido Seonchakjang No.1 branch and Seongsu Dessert Park branch. The stores will be fully decorated in the drink’s concept, with a dedicated tasting station and photo zone to give fans an immersive experience.
