Happy birthday to the Kuu-een!

I'm loving all the previews so far, especially 'RUN' and 'WORK IT!'. I've had 'RUN' stuck in my head ever since the teaser came out, I predict it's going to become a new career favourite ballad for me. All the new songs sound like they have a lot of variety of sounds between the verses and chorus', so I'm looking forward to hearing them all in full!

When I saw that Aespa's Ningning had done an English version of the 'RUN' teaser I was a little nervous that people would get the dates wrong and think Kuu had copied them, but it seems like it's given Kuu's teaser a nice bit of publicity boost! People are even citing Kuu's as the original and Ningning's as a cover since Kuu's teaser was released a few days before, although other's say it must just be that SM bought the same song at a similar time to Kuu, which I assume with them being released so close together would be the right answer. Although I did notice at the beginning of Ningning's teaster she drew a blue butterfly on the wall, which is a symbol Kuu has used multiple times in her career and has a tattoo of.

Probably just a coincidence since a lot of pop stars seem to like to use butterflies as symbolism nowadays, but just something I noticed!
