We’re delighted to welcome aespa to the cover of Dork for our brand new September 2023 issue.
With their new English-language single ‘Better Things’ imminent, aespa are set to take over the world – both real and virtual. The first K-pop stars to take to the front of our monthly print magazine, they’re a genuine, 100% pop sensation.




You can pre-order aespa’s edition of Dork now, and it’ll dispatch before the 1st September, or subscribe and get the print edition sent directly to your door every month here.
aespa is the third of three cover acts for our latest edition, following up on our Reneé Rapp and Baby Queen editions. We’ll be revealing the packed full issue lineup at midday today (11th August), when the full issue debuts digitally.
