On the 17th of last month, AESPA released their debut single “Black Mamba”, and a similarity controversy arose among people over the music video of “Black Mamba”. Some people raised suspicion of similarities between the work of German visual artist Timo Helgert and the fictional idol girl group K/DA composed of game characters. In this regard, an official from SM Entertainment, the agency of Aespa, told Dong-A.com on the 22nd, “We contacted the author and the company mentioned in relation to some scenes of AESPA’s ‘Black Mamba’ music video, and discussed the planning intent and worldview.” He said, “The author and the company understood our planning and production process and confirmed that there was no objection to the music video scene.”rnWith their debut song ‘Black Mamba’, they entered the Billboard chart for three consecutive weeks.
