aespa members Karina, Winter, Giselle, and Ningning are sparking curiosity as fans wonder why they haven't been given the chance to host music shows.

On January 5, a post about aespa gained attention on instiz's community board with the title, "Why Isn't Aespa Given a Chance to Mc?". The netizen who wrote the post mentioned, "Considering their popularity, many busy idols are hosting music shows."

The netizen continued, "aespa's schedules have been quite hectic since LSM's issues and eventual departure. I'm sure they will get the opportunity in 2024 if they want to pursue it."

Netizens shared their thoughts:

"It depends on the music show's decision."

"Winter mentioned wanting to MC, though."

"They might do it in the future."

"Saw Sung Hanbin and Karina doing a challenge together and thought it was a hint."

"Was looking forward to it but got disappointed."

"Seems like it wasn't what the broadcast stations were looking for."

"Do they really need to MC? They've been successful in solo activities."

"Their turn might come soon; maybe bad timing was a factor until now."

"Modern MCs often need some level of seniority."

"I feel aespa might be past the stage of hosting shows. They've already been on tours, and SM positioned them as a luxurious group. What's the big deal about being an MC anyway?"

IU recently revealed that she watched her own concert film in a public theater, but shockingly, no one recognized her—even when she dropped a hint!

On February 27, a new video featuring IU was released, showing her inside a car on her way to Daejeon.

She excitedly shared, “This is a surprise stage greeting for UAENA! I picked this location through a ladder game when I did stage greetings.”

Previously, IU had let fate decide which city she would visit after her stage greetings. She happily said, “There are UAENAs everywhere I go. Wherever I go, it's a flowery path.” The game ultimately led her to Daejeon.

IU originally hoped to explore the city, saying, “I wanted to visit Daejeon's pride, Sung Sim Dang, and walk around, but my team said it wouldn’t be possible. The lines are too long, and it’s freezing outside.” She sighed, adding, “So, things turned out this way.”

Dressed up for the occasion, IU smiled, saying, “I don’t get to meet UAENAs in Daejeon often, so I wanted to make a surprise appearance looking my best.”

She also joked about enjoying surprise events, adding, “As long as Hanteo oppa drives me safely, I’m happy.”

But what really caught fans' attention was IU’s unexpected confession—she had secretly watched her concert film in a theater, but no one noticed her! “No one recognized me at all. There weren’t that many people, and it was a weekday… but still! I even gave a hint!” she said, sounding both amused and surprised.

Later, when IU finally appeared at the theater, her fans were overwhelmed with emotion. Some even burst into tears, prompting her to gently say, “You really didn’t expect me to come, right?”

After wrapping up her stage greeting, IU laughed at herself, saying, “Wait, did I just do a 40-minute one-woman show? I must have talked so much.”

On her way back to Seoul, IU reflected on the day, sharing, “It was so cold today. I shook hands with all the UAENAs. My hands are usually cold, and since the weather was freezing, I think I made a lot of people’s hands cold, too. But after touching so many warm hands, mine became warm, too. I still haven’t washed them.”

Her love for her fans truly knows no bounds!
