On May 15, 2024, a post titled “MYs learning the ‘Supernova’ fanchant made by aespa before the debut of the fanchant” was shared on the popular South Korean online forum, TheQoo. The post featured a video of MYs gathered on the floor, rehearsing the fan chant while waiting to attend aespa’s “M! Countdown” pre-recording for “Supernova.”
