aespa Stuns on Amazon Music Live in Los Angeles, Proving Their Global Stage Power

K-pop girl group aespa took the stage at Amazon Music’s live concert series ‘Amazon Music Live’ (AML), performing a ten-song set in Los Angeles on November 13 (local time). The show was streamed globally via Prime Video, Twitch, and Amazon Music, further cementing the group’s growing presence on the international stage.

The performance aired right after the NFL’s highly popular ‘Thursday Night Football’ broadcast as part of AML’s fourth season. Since its launch in 2022, the series has hosted global acts such as Snoop Dogg, Ed Sheeran, Green Day, and Halsey. Korean media have highlighted aespa’s appearance as a key milestone in entering a major U.S. live-broadcast slot.

aespa opened their set with signature hits including ‘Next Level,’ ‘Supernova,’ ‘Armageddon,’ and ‘Whiplash,’ then moved into newer releases such as ‘Dirty Work,’ ‘Better Things,’ ‘Angel #48,’ ‘Hold On Tight,’ ‘Drift,’ and ‘Rich Man.’ The ten-track setlist, spanning Korean title tracks and English singles, delivered a concert-level experience that showcased the group’s evolving sound across different eras.

Backed by live instrumentation and fan sing-alongs, aespa elevated the atmosphere with solid live vocals, synchronized choreography, and relaxed crowd interaction. After the show, the members commented that they were “truly happy to be on this stage” and thanked viewers for enjoying the performance, calling it an unforgettable day and hoping fans would continue to support aespa’s music and performances.

Notably, aespa has been collaborating with Amazon since early 2025 as the first K-pop girl group to engage in an extended partnership with the platform around tour and album merchandise. At the AML venue, the two sides set up a special display zone featuring official collections themed around ‘Dirty Work’ and ‘Rich Man,’ along with F&B items inspired by the group’s signature colors and concept, turning the show into a combined performance and brand experience.

aespa are currently in the midst of their third world tour, ‘2025 aespa LIVE TOUR – SYNK : aeXIS LINE,’ with back-to-back shows at Bangkok’s IMPACT ARENA on November 15 and 16. They are also slated to appear on Japan’s iconic year-end music program, the 76th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen, on December 31. With touring, brand collaborations, and major TV appearances all progressing in parallel, the group continues to strengthen its profile as one of the leading fourth-generation girl groups.
