At the venue for aespa’s U.S. Seattle performance, shocking footage of multiple women grappling and engaging in a fierce brawl has spread online, causing a stir. On the 15th (local time), a certain video was circulated on overseas online communities and social media. It is a roughly 13-second video said to have been filmed in a corridor of Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, where aespa’s world tour “SYNK : COMPLaeXITY” was held on the 9th. The video shows multiple women falling onto the corridor floor and engaging in a gruesome assault, swinging their fists and kicking while grabbing each other’s hair. People around them kept their distance from the sudden incident and watched the brawl with shocked expressions. Internet users in Japan and abroad who saw the video reacted with comments such as, “In what kind of situation did such a violent fight happen?”, “What happened at the concert venue?”, and “Is there no one to stop them?” One internet user who said they were at the scene at the time reported the situation, saying, “It seemed like fans were fighting each other.” However, details such as whether the women in the video were fans who attended the aespa concert, whether the footage was actually filmed on the day of the performance, and why the fight escalated are not known. • aespa officially releases solo songs by all four members on September 14!
