The part fans actually have to practise. aespa put an official cheering guide for 'KISS N TELL' on their own channel at eight in the evening Korean time on August 5 — three minutes thirty-one seconds of it, which is the length of the song plus the room to learn where your voice goes.
Above the video the description says the rest plainly: aespa's 1st Japan mini album 'KISS N TELL' is out, with a link to stream or download it and a second link straight to the music video. Under that sit the group's official accounts and a heading reading MY Official, over the Weverse address.
The title carries a line in Japanese — MYの味方だから — which reads as 'because we're on MY's side'. The tags run across three scripts: #aespa, #エスパ, #KISSNTELL, #에스파, #æspa and #aespaKISSNTELL.
The song has left a clear trail on this desk's record. The teaser posted on July 20, the music video on July 23 — written up here that day — an [R(ae)cord] clip followed on August 4, and now the cheering guide on August 5. It is the second cheering guide this desk has covered, after Red Velvet's for 'Surfin' Boy'.
Context for International Fans
MY is aespa's fandom name. A cheering guide — 응원법 in Korean — is the official version of what a crowd shouts and when: member names in the intro, answering lines in the chorus, the gaps a song leaves for the audience to fill. Groups release them because fanchants are learned, not improvised, and a fan watching from another country has no other way to arrive at a show already knowing their part.
Why It Matters
Fanchants are the one part of a K-pop concert the audience performs, and for years they spread only by word of mouth inside Korean fandoms. An official guide, posted free by the group, is how a fan anywhere else gets in on it — which is why it belongs in the record alongside the release itself.
