Aespa, who will be making their Japanese debut on July 3rd, has collaborated with McCafe (the official spelling of the “e” is with an acute accent/McCafe(R)). Original collaborative videos and SNS initiatives will be rolled out one after another.

The TV commercial “McCafe ‘aespa'” which will start airing nationwide (excluding some regions) from July 3rd, depicts the girls enjoying a McCafé in a realistic manner, set to aespa’s new song “Sun and Moon,” which will be included in their Japanese debut single.

A collaboration between McCafé and aespa, the movie is designed to get viewers excited like on a rollercoaster, and the adorable “Tarattattatta” at the end is also worth paying attention to.

In addition, an original collaboration video between McCafe and aespa will be released on McDonald’s official X account (@McDonaldsJapan), official Instagram account (@mccafejapan), and official TikTok account (@mcdonaldsjapan).

In addition, the “#Frappe and aespa Invincible Collaboration Frappe Posting Campaign” will be held, in which 400 people (100 from each member group) will be selected by lottery to win an aespa collaboration Mac card worth 500 yen, so be sure to check this out as well.
