The group aespa have released their second full-length album 'Lemonade' and officially kicked off their comeback promotions.

At 1 p.m. KST on the 29th, aespa dropped all tracks from their second studio album 'Lemonade' along with the music video for the title track of the same name across major streaming sites.

'Lemonade' is an electronic dance track that delivers the message "We'll turn trials and hardships into opportunities." Built on the group's universe, the music video tells the story of the members transforming a dark world fractured by a 'Lemon Bug' that rolled in from a parallel universe.

Once the title track's music video went live, listeners reacted with comments like "A perfect song for summer," "Instantly puts me in a good mood," and "Sweet-and-tangy to the core." However, others said it "feels a bit plain," "the MV styling isn't great," and "there's no part that really sticks."

Meanwhile, aespa will premiere the first stage of 'Lemonade' on KBS2's Music Bank, airing today.
