Since their debut in 2020, SM Entertainment‘s fourth-generation girl group, aespa, has made waves with their talent, visuals, and unique metaverse concept.
Through the metaverse, they introduced their virtual counterparts, aes, to the world.

As a group with a virtual concept and storyline, it’s allowed aespa to collaborate with digital media in a unique way, and aespa has already collaborated with the popular video game Epic Seven in 2022.
The collaboration included special events, new artifacts, and four new animated characters based on the aespa members for a limited time.

Epic Seven isn’t the only video game-related video an aespa member has appeared in. Recently, popular video game developer Riot Games released a development video for Teamfight Tactic‘s eleventh set, Inkborn Fables.
As the team introduced the new set in the video, one designer’s workspace caught an eagle-eyed netizen’s attention as they spotted a photo of aespa’s Giselle proudly displayed.

The photo was a close-up of Giselle from aespa’s “Dreams Come True” concept images, and netizens were quick to respond to the unexpected cameo, sharing their reactions on social media.
Some even hoped it was a hint at a future collaboration, though many assumed it was unintentionally captured in the background.
