‘Body Bang’: Aespa Karina’s Iconic Line In ‘Supernova’ Hilariously Raises Brows — Shade Against HYBE Founder?

The “Supernova”line created by Karina stirred up a lot of buzz in online communities.

On May 13, aespa officially debuted their latest song “Supernova,”which serves as the pre-release for their upcoming album “Armageddon.”The song was met with immediate positive reception online, with many praising aespa’s musicality, performance, and MV.

Despite the experimental hyper-pop sound of “Supernova,”one of its lines quickly gained attention on various social media platforms, adding to its praise.

In particular, Karina’s “Ah, Body Bang!“became the most popular and well-known line, thanks to her perfectly delivered low and deep voice. This line also sparked numerous online posts, highlighting its significant impact and how it resonated with listeners.

Gradually, the line ended up attracting an online community for a different purpose. As most K-pop enthusiasts are familiar with, there has been a continuous dispute between HYBE and ADOR, which was further fueled by Min Hee Jin’s fiery press conference on April 25th.

During the press conference, Min Hee Jin revealed that HYBE founder Bang Si Hyuk had asked her if she could “defeat aespa.”This particular comment has sparked anger among MYs and K-pop fans.

The criticism directed at Bang Si Hyuk eventually became so severe that netizens and fans would consistently attack the HYBE founder whenever aespa received recognition for their talent, live performances, achievements, and stage presence.

On May 23, internet users gathered on a message board titled, “Ah, Body Bang: Are These Lyrics Targeting Bang Si Hyuk.”The original poster shared a screenshot of Karina using the phrase “Body Bang”and insinuated that it may have been a dig at Bang Si Hyuk.

“OP joked, “Is she suggesting that we examine Bang Si Hyuk’s physique?”

Netizens who read the post were entertained by its humor and took the opportunity to share their amusement in the comments section. See their responses below:

  • “You think? (sarcasm)”
  • “They made that song way before.”
  • “Ah I burst out laughing.”
  • “Wow so there are people who think like that too.”
  • “Ah seriously it’s so obviously not that I exploded in laughter.”
  • “Me too I thought of Bang Si Hyuk the first time I listened to it lol It’s freaking funny. Of course, it’s not about him but whenever I sing it, I go “Sihyuk Bang bang bang bang.”
  • “Your analysis is so freaking funny.”
  • “After seeing this post, this is the line’s meaning to me from now onwards.”

The post also garnered attention from international fans, who found it entertaining. Although some pointed out that the song was clearly produced before Min Hee Jin’s high-profile press conference, the timing of the line’s sudden popularity on the internet was deemed by many as remarkable coincidence, especially given Bang Si Hyuk’s recent message about aespa.

This is how they responded:

  • “Lol this is so hilarious, I can’t even. Now Bang Si Hyuk will pop up to my mind whenever this part of the song comes up.”
  • “This is genuinely so funny lmao. Obviously, the song was probably created long ago but if it turns out to be last-moment decision, it’s gonna be hilarious.”
  • “Oh, that actually cracked me up lol.”
