The group aespa successfully kicked off their first American tour in LA.

The 14-date trek in the United States has kicked off in Los Angeles at the Crypto.com Arena on August 13.

The band performed the most popular 25 songs, including 'Black Mamba', 'Next Level', 'Savage', 'Lucid Dream', 'Thirsty', 'Welcome to MY World', 'Life's Too Short', 'Don't Blink', 'Hot Air Balloon', 'YEPPI YEPPI', and 'YOLO'.

Aespa also presented the stage for the new song 'Better Things' for the first time, which will be released on August 18 at 1:00 pm (KST). 'Better Things' is a minimalistic upbeat dance tune with invigorating and musical percussion sounds that work out positively for summer and interesting mood designs.
