aespa (에스파; stylized as æspa) is a South Korean girl group under SM Entertainment. The group consists of four members: Karina (카리나), Giselle (지젤), Winter (윈터), and Ningning (닝닝). The group’s name is a combination of "æ,” which means “Avatar X Experience,” and "aspect,” which means “double-sided.” Together, it means that you would be able to experience a new world through another avatar of yourself. Each member has a digital version of themselves, referred to as avatars.
