When I first watched mv, I thought that she didn't sing, so I looked at the lyrics videos. The person who sang "da-ra-ra" in the intro and sang "The city so pretty when your lights on" after the members was 'naevis'. Honestly we're all confused by the "feat. Naevis" :D
Something kinda cool that I noticed is that the first time the “the city so pretty with the lights on” gets echoed, it’s discordant and kind of distorted as well. The next couple times are more in tune and sound more like a real voice. It’s like Naevis is quickly “learning” to speak/sing in just those lines…I feel like that’s probably intentional right? They don’t seem to put anything in without a reason….
In this video each member represent - 1. Ningning - anxiety 2. Winter - victim of bullying 3. Karina - insecurities n burden 4. Giselle - suicidal thoughts This track really showed the real behind story of every idols n what they go through
I don’t think they’re specifically representing anything. They’re literally JUST unhappy. They mentioned everyday is all the same and repetitive (Winter stuck in a loop), how everyone has perfect feeds when it’s probably not in reality, the blue/red pill aka choosing between facing reality or living in a simulation. So they’re all living in this illusion/simulation (the ‘continue?’ at the beginning asking if they still want to continue living in it) but aespa girlies chose to face reality instead (hence them running away/going against the crowd at the end to find true happiness) in contrary to the crowd who chose to live in it for fake happiness.
As we saw at the end of aespa's "aespa ep.3 'Girls (Don’t you know I’m a Savage?)' - SM Culture Universe" video, naevis was forced to leave Kwangya because she left the Flat in order to help aespa defeat the Black Mamba hacker. At the end of that video naevis informes the creators of Kwangya that if she can no longer stay there then she knows where she wants to go, which is to MY's world. MY is the name of aespa's fans. Therefore, in "Welcome to MY World," aespa are welcoming naevis to the real world where we fans live, to become part of an alternate reality. Also in "Welcome to MY World" we do hear "naevis" singing some of the lines of the song -- if you look at a lyric video you will see that naevis sings part of the hook and in the bridge -- so it looks like SM may have taken the story one step further and the company may be jumping on the virtual idol trend, where a singer takes on the persona of an avatar character and we never actually learn their real name or know what they look like in person. I also see "I'm Unhappy" as a continuation of the storyline and themes within their "aespa ep. 2 'Next Level' - SM Culture Universe" video and their "Life's Too Short" MV. Where aespa touches on the darker side of idol culture and all the negative things that come along with living as an idol. We see Winter as a victim of bullying, NingNing is someone who is suffering with anxiety, Karina is dealing with insecurities and the burden of living up to expectations, and Giselle is struggling with thoughts of self harm and suicide. As with everything to do with SM's SM Culture Universe storyline, yet again the themes within its songs and MVs are designed to create a social commentary on issues within society that we as humans need to address if we are ever going to be able to conquer those evil forces i.e. the Red Force, Black Mamba or whomever the new villain -- which we discovered at the end of aespa's ep. 3 video, is now played by BoA -- turns out to be.
“Nævis, who had only appeared so far as a CG image in aespa’s music videos, is in plans to be shown as an AI artist,” Lee said of Nævis’ forthcoming debut, as translated by Koreaboo. “She will be an artist born by mobilising skills for natural movements, newly created voice, and real-time communication.” The executive added that Nævis’ voice will be created using samples from twelve different voice actors.
tbh Welcome To My World is a song i’ve been WAITING FOR in kpop. just a very atmospheric and grand sounding sound and it suits aespa so well. only they could pull off something like that tbh
it seems as though and some fans says that nævis sings the dararadadada and the bridge lines after each member, like she's conversing with the girls or something like that. and yes, the recent episode revealed that nævis will be going to the REAL WORLD which explains why the setting of wtmw is not in KWANGYA.
naevis actually IS on the track, the dararara's and that echo in the bridge with the autotune-y voice after each of the girls. and YES naevis was cast out of the flat and has arrived on earth!

I saw this somewhere and so this comment isn’t mine, but just want to let u guys know ❤ In the ‘I’m unhappy track video’ : 1. Winter represents ‘victim of bullying’ 2. NingNing represents ‘anxiety’ 3. Karina represents ‘insecurity & burden’ 4. Giselle represents ‘suicidal thoughts’ Extremely sad but this is literally how idols live their lives 😭 Edit: naevis actually sang the ‘da ra ra’ part and the bridge (she repeated the lines of the members after each member sang a line) too! ❤
As far as MVs and Story goes, yes there is an overarching story but they also have an actual theme. Its often related to online presence, social media, and its effects on people/reality. The title tracks are mostly about the main story of defeating the Black Mamba, but there are side parts where the members struggle against the negative aspects of the online world. Examples such as hate speech, constant strive for perfection/unrealistic standards, being judged/rumors, constant surveillances etc. Songs like 'Life's too Short' and 'I'm Unhappy' definitely touches on these subjects. Slight spoiler but even the main villain of aespa, the Black Mamba, is the amalgamation of all the negativity online
Naevis' voice is from a vocal sythesizer (realy people provide their voices to create a virtual voice, and a producer (yes actual human being) can use a program to jot down what they sing and tune them to sound realistic. A Vocaloid, or Hatsune Miku if youve never heard of.) The fact that Naevis has the 2nd most lines in this tract after Ningning lmao. Also the weird wavy thing youre seeing is basically a representation of an unseen force that guided the girls to Naevis, probably the Kwangya 'gods' spiritually guiding them to unite.
Fun fact: Welcome To My World was supposed to be naevis’ debut song last March but aespa stole it because they liked the song so much. Thus, naevis’ debut got postponed 😂
Actually, naevis did sing lol. She did the "da ra ra di da da" and the autotune voice for the call and repeat part "this city's so pretty when your lights off, get it get it get it get it get it yeah let's go" etc.
actually naevis had the 2nd most lines in this song lol. the darara parts & the back vocals in the bridge was naevis. naevis’ voice consists of combination of 12 people !
10:29 AESPA’s message has always been about living your life on & offline instead of faking life online. This album is emphasizing the stripped down version of their core message.
I honestly stopped keeping up with Aespa because the music just wasnt for me, but im glad i watched this. This first song gives movie sountrack or trailor vibes and Unhappy sounds great and had such a deep message (i wish it was longer tho😭) this defintely makes me want to tune back in for their album.
So I'm gonna comment before watching your reaction. I've been waiting for this to drop all night. I've literally been refreshing my page like crazy since yesterday hoping to see more reactions to Welcome to MY World. I'm not a reactor because I'm not confident in front of the camera, but like everyone else in the world, I have reactions that differ song to song and some that even surprise me. If there were any video that I wish I would have filmed myself when I first watched it, it would have to be this one. Funny thing is I'm a communications major (currently on break due to surgery last year) yet I struggle speaking on camera. My reaction though.... I cried. The tears streamed down my face and I couldn't make it stop. There is only one other kpop song that has that power on me. (BTS Butterfly) Something hit me with this song that I cannot even explain. I'm excited when the rest of the album comes out next week. I think Kai may have a contender for my album of the year.
naevis is the one singing in the start and the bridge to the last chorus she is singing alternate with the aespa members the autotuned one and the "darararirada" that's nævis
These tracks aren't that different from some of their other previous b-sides, with that pretty and dreamy atmospheric tone. The title track will probably be a lot more in line with what you're used to from them... I mean, it is titled Spicy. 😄
It says “featuring nævis” because this is the first comeback where she’s been in the real world. She helped Aespa escape the flat in “Savage” MV and Aespa defeated the black mamba in “Girls” MV.
Idk Naevis’ voice but I assume she did the echo effects (repeating the “the city looks so pretty with your lights on” after the girls with shots of nature, I could be wrong though). I personally prefer that she didn’t have a strong presence because I still find AI idols kinda jarring lol but I get that’d be nice to get more of taste of Naevis!
If you listen closely, Naevis actually sang a lot. She has that “autotune” voice.

In this video each member represent -
1. Ningning - anxiety
2. Winter - victim of bullying
3. Karina - insecurities n burden
4. Giselle - suicidal thoughts
This track really showed the real behind story of every idols n what they go through
Karina is more like addiction though
Here we go again, fans making up obscure theories and commenting like they’re facts 😂
@@nanomata8796 its kinda fun to read tbh 😭😭😭

@@alexally2769 it's all connected to smcu ep2. Their insecurities led them to this.

Naevis's voice is being provided by an actual AI trained on the voices of 12 voice actors.

You have to watch the trilogy to fully understand why NAEVIS is on earth
it seems as though and some fans says that nævis sings the dararadadada and the bridge lines after each member, like she's conversing with the girls or something like that. and yes, the recent episode revealed that nævis will be going to the REAL WORLD which explains why the setting of wtmw is not in KWANGYA.

All of the Da-ra-ra-ra is Naevis actually. 😅 You won't notice because it's sounds like Ningning. 😊
It sounds more like winter

I love 'I'm Unhappy' and vibe of mv so much
I love both of these, they fit my vibe.
I love the apocalyptic movie vibes!! It also sounds like a League Of Legends track. I love Unhappy too
Watching the SMCU episodes will answer a lot of these questions.
I was not expecting this at all.
I LOVE being surprised.
I saw this somewhere and so this comment isn’t mine, but just want to let u guys know ❤
In the ‘I’m unhappy track video’ :
1. Winter represents ‘victim of bullying’
2. NingNing represents ‘anxiety’
3. Karina represents ‘insecurity & burden’
4. Giselle represents ‘suicidal thoughts’
Extremely sad but this is literally how idols live their lives 😭
Edit: naevis actually sang the ‘da ra ra’ part and the bridge (she repeated the lines of the members after each member sang a line) too! ❤
She did sing, in the bridge and apparently some of the rarara too.
The tittle track MV will be release on 8 May 2023! Please stay tune!

‘The song was ok’….. I AM SPEECHLESS
I actually like it more now than I did my first listen lol, it’s been like 2 weeks
Naevis' voice is from a vocal sythesizer (realy people provide their voices to create a virtual voice, and a producer (yes actual human being) can use a program to jot down what they sing and tune them to sound realistic. A Vocaloid, or Hatsune Miku if youve never heard of.)

Lol I thought Naevis was the driver?😂
SALTY AND SWEET track video just came out!! 🫶🏻

Naevis is the vocals on the back. She actually sang more than winter, gisselle and karina
if the mv lil bit glitch, neither aespa describe nævis feeling / nævis hv conversation with æspa

Naevis is singing in the song that's why she's featuring :)
you need to watch the smcu episodes if you wanna really understand why they're on earth
These tracks aren't that different from some of their other previous b-sides, with that pretty and dreamy atmospheric tone. The title track will probably be a lot more in line with what you're used to from them... I mean, it is titled Spicy. 😄
It says “featuring nævis” because this is the first comeback where she’s been in the real world. She helped Aespa escape the flat in “Savage” MV and Aespa defeated the black mamba in “Girls” MV.
i think you did not watch SMCU episode 3, because what happens in that episode explains the GIRLS mv and set up the Welcome to MY World storyline
Idk Naevis’ voice but I assume she did the echo effects (repeating the “the city looks so pretty with your lights on” after the girls with shots of nature, I could be wrong though). I personally prefer that she didn’t have a strong presence because I still find AI idols kinda jarring lol but I get that’d be nice to get more of taste of Naevis!
👍
They really expected a virtual person singing the song 😭
It's naevis come out in our world, the story like that.
If you watch eps 3 you will understand. Naevis not singing btw.
