aespa is dropping a slew of fashion-forward merch inspired by its latest single, “Dirty Work.” The synth-poppy rock-infused dance track, which arrived on June 27, has been embraced by fans. The track debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard Global 200 and No. 2 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts. This marks the group’s first top five hit on the Global 200 and the highest debut for a K-pop group on both charts in 2025 to date.
The merch launch is the second of its kind for the group. Merch offerings include a slouchy shoulder bag, jersey tees and postcard sets. Some of the pieces, such as the tees and postcards, feature designs specific to certain members so you can rep your favorite member — from Karina to Giselle to Winter and Ningning — in style.
aespa Official Merch “Dirty Work” Relaxed Shoulder Bag
Retailing for $55, this slouchy shoulder bag is fixed with an all-over leopard print accompanied by silver star studs. The front pocket is embroidered with the group’s logo in black, a subtle nod at the K-pop act.
aespa Official Merch “Dirty Work” Wide Tape
Playful and simple, this wide tape is another subtle decorative piece that doesn’t really look like traditional merch. The printed tape would look great affixed to books, binders and laptops.
Following the release of the mixed language track, a remix featuring rapper Flo Milli dropped along with a full Korean-language version. The music video also arrived on June 27. The dramatic choreography-heavy video was filmed at Hyundai Steel’s steel mill located in Dangjin, South Korea, and includes shots of heavy machinery to add to the industrial vibe.
Earlier in the year, aespa embarked on its SYNK: PARALLEL LINE world tour. The North American tour began Jan. 28 in Seattle and concluded on Feb. 15 in Chicago. The girls also stopped in London, Seoul and Japan. The “Whiplash” singers will be following up their second tour with Synk: Aexis Line, an Asia-only tour. The third tour will begin on Aug. 29 in Seoul and end on Nov. 27 in Osaka.
The group’s latest endeavor? A PUBG event. “On the final day of the PNC Final Stage, we’ll be performing ‘Dark Arts‘ live for the first time ever — only on the PNC stage,” the group announced July 13; the song arrived two days later on July 15.
aespa Official Merch “Dirty Work” Jersey T-Shirt
If you’re looking to rep your bias in style, aespa features a unisex jersey for each member. The jersey is black and gray with white trim. “Dirty Work” graphics are on the front and short sleeves. The jersey is one size, but slightly boxy, so keep that in mind before purchasing.
