aespa claim second Music Core win with ‘LEMONADE’

aespa have picked up their second music show trophy for “LEMONADE,” winning on the 11 July broadcast of MBC’s Music Core.

The group faced tough competition from SEVENTEEN’s unit track “singasong” and Hearts2Hearts’ “Lemon Tang,” but ultimately came out on top with a total of 7,086 points.

This latest win adds momentum to aespa’s current promotion cycle, reinforcing the track’s popularity both in Korea and among international listeners, including fans across Europe.

The episode featured a wide-ranging lineup of performances, highlighting the diversity of the current K-pop scene. Acts on stage included BABYMONSTER, (G)I-DLE, TXT’s Yeonjun, RESCENE, and MONSTA X’s Kihyun.

Soloists and rising groups such as Choi Yoojung, Niel of Teen Top, EVAN (Heeseung), and several rookie acts also delivered stages, offering fans a mix of established names and fresh talent.

With “LEMONADE” continuing to perform well on music shows, aespa’s strong global fanbase—including their growing European audience—can expect the track to remain a standout in this summer’s K-pop releases.
