Record-Breaking Numbers for “Rich Man”
Released on September 5, Rich Man set records even before launch. It surpassed 1.11 million pre-orders and confirmed aespa’s seventh million-seller. The album reached No.1 on iTunes Top Albums in 14 regions. It also topped China’s QQ Music digital sales and EP charts, earning platinum certification for sales above one million yuan.

British newspaper The Times praised aespa’s ability to deliver songs with unshakable confidence and applauded the top-tier producers for their endless creativity. The review highlighted the whistle woven through the sleek hip-hop track Drift and admired the clever chorus of Bubble, built from the commands of the Bop It! toy—“twist it, turn it, flick it, pull it.” The critic also noted hyperpop elements in To the Girls and Rich Man but concluded that aespa needs no genre devices to prove their invincibility. Reflecting their global stature, The Times awarded a perfect three-star score, the highest rating ever given to a K-pop album.

aespa’s momentum continues with a large-scale arena tour this fall. The tour begins in Fukuoka on October 4–5, moves to Tokyo on October 11–12, then Aichi on October 18–19.
