2022 United Nations General Assembly Speech
[All]
Hello, we are aespa.

[Giselle]
Hello, my name is Giselle, and we are so honoured to be here today. Our group, aespa, uniquely moves between reality and virtual reality. We exist here in the real world, and four of our avatar members exist in the virtual world. Together, we are often called the metaverse girl group.

People arе paying more attention to creating thе best possible metaverse world. It transcends many boundaries - reality and virtual reality, time and space, and genres and generations.
As the metaverse accelerates, we have to ask the question: "Are we working just as hard to create the best possible real world?"

The metaverse reflects reality, if our own reality is not sustainable, it would become difficult to sustain the possibilities of the virtual world. Without sustainable ecosystems or equal opportunities for quality living, there will be no real world to be mirrored. The topic of sustainable development is urgent, and we believe that the next generation must support sustainable development goals in order to protect the world that we live in.

Aespa will continue to connect with next generation through music and will work to represent sustainable goals in reality, hence within the metaverse.

Once again, thank you again for having us.
We are honoured to be here to discuss a topic that is so important for the next generation, and we will now be performing our song "Next Level."

We hope you enjoy it.
Thank you.
