The artists, who share a mutual admiration for each other's work, discussed various topics, including their music, the media, and the metaverse.

Grimes, a long-time K-Pop enthusiast, expressed her particular fondness for old-school K-Pop legends like BIGBANG's G-Dragon, T.O.P, and former 2NE1's CL.

She also praised aespa as her "favorite visuals in the game" and commended their innovative and awesome contributions to the industry.

It was during this conversation that the subject of tattoos arose. Grimes, known for her own extensive tattoo collection, asked Ningning if any of the aespa members had tattoos.

Grimes, known for her extravagant and often eccentric style, was taken aback by the size of Ningning's tattoos, humorously exclaiming they were the "smallest tattoos [she had] ever seen."
