Aespa has achieved a remarkable milestone with their new single pre-orders surpassing 1.01 million copies.

According to SM Entertainment on the 27th, the single 'Dirty Work', which will be released on various music platforms at 1 PM today, has already exceeded 1.01 million pre-orders as of June 26.

With this achievement, Aespa is on the verge of securing their sixth million-seller title, following their previous releases: the second mini-album 'Girls', the third mini-album 'MY WORLD', the fourth mini-album 'Drama', their first full-length album 'Armageddon', and the fifth mini-album 'Whiplash'.

The new single features four tracks, including the double title track 'Dirty Work', a version featuring Flo Milli, an English version, and an instrumental. 'Dirty Work' is a dance track characterized by captivating synth bass and cool vocal melodies, delivering a message of empowerment with a cool and chill vibe, showcasing Aespa's unique vocal allure.

Known for sparking short-form challenges with striking choreography for each song, Aespa is set to make a powerful impact with this release. The choreography contrasts between hip and intense moves and relaxed, sexy vibes, featuring dance breaks that highlight each member's distinct personality and a high-energy final chorus that matches the building music.

Additionally, the music video, released simultaneously on YouTube's SMTOWN channel, was filmed at Hyundai Steel's Dangjin Steelworks. It features expansive yards, massive machinery, and 225 extras, adding a raw industrial edge. The Aespa members transform into fearless resistance fighters, ready to tackle any 'dirty work' for their comrades, promising a visually stunning experience.

Meanwhile, the physical album of 'Dirty Work' is also released today, and on July 4, a limited edition 'Dirty Work' (Dirty Crew Ring Ver.) will be launched, symbolizing the 'bond' connecting Aespa and MY (official fan club name).
