aespa is facing backlash over rumored comeback title "Rich Man."
The group recently finished promotions for "Dirty Work," but fans are buzzing about what’s next. SM Entertainment hasn’t confirmed anything yet. However, Winter reportedly mentioned practicing a song called “Rich Man” during a late-night Weverse broadcast, fueling rumors that it’s their next title track.
The alleged title is dividing fans. Critics argue "Rich Man" clashes with aespa’s empowering, futuristic image. Some are worried the concept won’t fit the group’s established message.
