aespa members embarked on a hypnotic past life journey.
In one of their latest YouTube videos, aespa members underwent a hypnotic journey to explore their past lives, guided by an expert in hypnosis.
On an online forum, netizens buzzed with discussion about the intriguing stories shared by the aespa members during this session. Despite being aware of the pseudoscientific nature of this entertainment content, the members' hypnotic revelations captivated fans' curiosity.
One fan quickly summarized the 'past lives' of each aespa member.
Karina: Her past life's name was Byeol-i ("star"). She was born into a merchant's family and lived with a hobby of drawing. She married a man who worked for her father and had three children. She lived a busy life taking care of cooking, her husband, and her children, like a squirrel constantly on the move. She reportedly didn't feel very happy.
Giselle: Her past life's name was Yena. She was born into a family that didn't have much affection for children and was coldly kicked out as soon as she became an adult. She worked in a bar from her twenties to early thirties until she met and married a businessman. Her husband died of an illness, and Giselle died in a traffic accident while walking.
Winter: Her past life's name was Choi Young-woo. He was born as the son of a reputable official and became a distinguished official like his father. He was in a position to teach the king's son, but unfortunately, that student never became king and died early. He said this was the saddest part of his life. He lived a relatively smooth and untroubled life before passing away.
Ningning: An au naturel person with no name (simply referred as the "Whistle"). Her mother ran away when Ningning was young, but Ningning did not resent her. She lived in nature with a dog as her companion and died by jumping off a mountain.
Netizens reacted:
"Do you really believe it..? Winter mentioned several times that she saw a shaman. The whole past life experience thing reflects one's unconscious imagination."
"Being called as 'Whistle' sounds so romantic."
"Winter's past life's name was said to be Choi Young-woo, but Crown Prince Sado's teacher was Mr. Chae Je-gong. His childhood name was 'Young' (he changed his name from Chae Young-woo to Chae Je-gong). In the video, it's the same, even down to having three children and loving poetry."
"It's not a past life; it's the unconscious mind. So, why are the stories so sad?"
"Ningning somehow fits well as a natural person."
"There's more to Karina's story. Her past life, Byeol-i, was talented and capable, but she spent her life as a housewife, unable to pursue her dreams and died. The teacher interpreted this as the reason Karina is now a singer, fulfilling that unfulfilled dream."
"It's not meant to be taken seriously, just done for fun... By the way, the whistling thing is cool, kind of gives off Kim Satgat vibes."
"Whether it's unconscious imagination or a real past life is something humans will never know."
"Past lives do exist... Yoo Jae-suk and IU were said to be noblemen or generals who accumulated a lot of good deeds in their past lives."
"Are all Korean people from Joseon in their past lives? ㅎㅎ Can't escape the same region even in reincarnation? ㅎㅎㅎ"
"Ningning's story is kind of heartbreaking... It's poignant. Living as a natural person and then jumping off a mountain—this could make a great movie."
