Aespa to Appear on ‘Good Morning America’ and ‘Jennifer Hudson Show’ Amid Global Promotions

Sep 10, 2025

Aespa is starting a full-fledged global activity.

Espa will appear on ABC's representative morning show 'Good Morning America' (Good Morning America), which will be broadcast live on the 13th (Korea time), and will also participate in the recording of Fox TV's popular talk show 'Jennifer Hudson Show', which is expected to attract high interest from global viewers.

Espa will appear for the third time after 2022 and 2023, as well as the popular show "Good Morning America" hosted by world-renowned artist Jennifer Hudson, who achieved grand slams at four major awards ceremonies in American pop culture, including the Emmy, Grammy, Academy, and Tony Awards, and will perform the new song "Rich Man" and talk about it.

Espa's sixth mini-album 'Rich Man', released on the 5th, recorded 1.11 million copies in pre-orders alone and predicted seven consecutive million-sellers, as well as topping the iTunes Top Album Chart in 14 regions around the world, No. 1 on the China QQ Music Overall and EP Digital Album Sales Chart, No. 1 on the Trend Peak Chart, No. 1 on the overall and Korean music video charts, No. 1 on the digital album sales chart of Kugou Music, No. 1 on Tencent Music's K-pop chart, and No. 1 on the Japanese AWA real-time surge.

The Times, a leading British daily, also published a review article on the album saying, `All four members performed the song with unwavering confidence, and the top songwriting team constantly created new hooks. From whistling through the sophisticated hip-hop track 'Drift', to the fantastic and genius idea of the children's toy Bop It! with the chorus of 'twist it / turn it / flick it / pull it'"'To the Girls' and 'Rich Man' have hyperpop elements, but in fact, Aespa is already invincible, not even requiring such genre action.", he said, giving Aespa three points, the highest score in all K-pop album review articles of all time, realizing Aespa's global presence.

Meanwhile, starting with Fukuoka on October 4-5th, Espa will hold an arena tour with more than 10,000 seats in Tokyo from October 11th to 12th, Aichi from 18th to 19th, Tokyo from November 8th to 9th, Bangkok from November 15th to 16th, and Osaka from 26th to 27th.
