Karina’s line in “Supernova” is getting a lot of attention online.
aespa dropped their latest track, “Supernova,” on May 13 as a preview for their upcoming album “Armageddon.” The song has been met with widespread acclaim for its experimental hyper-pop vibe, catchy beats, and dynamic performance. Fans are particularly impressed by the accompanying music video, adding to the song’s buzz.
One particular line, Karina’s “Ah, Body Bang!,” delivered in her distinctive low and deep voice, captured significant attention on social media.
This line not only resonated with listeners for its impact and memorability but also sparked numerous online discussions. The line gained further traction when it was linked to ongoing tensions between HYBE and ADOR, which were exacerbated by ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin‘s press conference on April 25.
During this conference, Min Hee Jin revealed a conversation with HYBE founder Bang Si Hyuk, where he questioned if she could “crush aespa.” This remark incited outrage among MYs (aespa’s fandom) and K-pop fans, leading to widespread criticism of Bang Si Hyuk.
By May 23, a forum post titled “Ah, Body Bang, Are These Lyrics Sniping At Bang Si Hyuk?” became popular. The author shared a screenshot of Karina’s line and humorously speculated whether the phrase was a jab at Bang Si Hyuk. The post read, “Is she telling us to look at Bang Si Hyuk’s body?” and amused many netizens.
In the thread’s comments, fans expressed amusement at the joke and engaged in further discussion. International fans also found the most entertaining.
While some noted that “Supernova” was produced before Min Hee Jin’s conference, many considered the timing of the line’s popularity to be coincidentally significant given the recent controversy surrounding Bang Si Hyuk’s comments about aespa.
