Girl group aespa will likely be back next month with new music, Korean media reported recently.

According to the annual plan of the group's label, SM Entertainment, the upcoming release is likely to be a single album.

It will be about eight months since the aespa rolled out its fifth EP Whiplash, which was also its fifth consecutive million-selling album.
