aespa’s new ‘Dirty Work’ Performance Video was shot on iPhone 16 Pro
The second K-Pop act to do so
MY or not, you’d be surprised that Apple did a collaboration with another South Korea-based super group. This time it’s aespa.
Amassing 7 million YouTube subscribers, double the 15 million followers on Instagram and TikTok, plus several grand prizes or 대상 (daesang) consecutively throughout the years:
- 2021 AAA (Asia Artist Awards)
- 2022 KMA (Korean Music Awards)
- 2021, 2024 MMA (Melon Music Awards)
- 2024 MAMA Awards (Mnet)
- 2024 TFMA (The Fact Music Awards)
- 2025 39th GDA (Golden Disc Awards)
aespa has truly proven how they’re one of the biggest acts not just in their generation, but in the whole history of K-Pop itself.
Second K-Pop Act with Shot on iPhone Collab
Even if this isn’t the first time the American tech giant did a collab of some sort (hats off to NewJeans / NJZ / MHDHH, we dearly miss you), aespa is the only other K-Pop act to do so.
Unlike the aforementioned ‘ETA’ Music Video, this one was quite short, falling below the 2-minute mark — which is more of a teaser than a “Performance Video”.
Also, no iPhone visuals were included in the shot. Just a clear “Shot on iPhone 16 Pro” and “Commissioned by Apple” intro texts alongside a bubbly Apple logo outro.
Another clear opposite? The camera feature being highlighted.
Before, it was all about boasting iPhone 14 Pro’s “Action Mode” for action-filled scenes.
This time, aside from the iPhone’s industry-leading video stabilization in a smartphone, the clear focus was all about low-light capabilities achieved through the iPhone 16 Pro.
A production set usually involves a set of lights but still, most phones cannot achieve a clear video output at night — until iPhone 16 Pro showcased it here.
This iPhone prowess was already backed by most professionals in the creative industry.
More so, the inclusion of 4K/120fps for that buttery smooth slo-mo shots.

There’s also the power of Dolby Vision aside from ProRes that was introduced in last year’s iPhone 16 Pro series.
Even the girls couldn’t hide themselves from showing of their various iPhones in their Insta:
That’s despite their brother group, RIIZE, having to flaunt and endorse smartphones + AIoT from the country’s homegrown electronics brand.
❎ Dirty Work ✅ Clean Work
With all that out of the way, here’s the short yet savage ‘Dirty Work’ Performance Video.
Meanwhile, here’s a separate promotional campaign from Apple Korea using the iPhone 16 Pro Behind-The-Scenes.
And while we’re already at it, aespa is set to release an exclusive “Apple Music Edition” EP of the same title on June 27th (Friday). Mark your calendars!

Dune: Part Three teaser trailer: First look at Robert Pattinson’s Scytale
In cinemas this December
The countdown is officially on as Warner Bros. Pictures has released the teaser trailer for Dune: Part Three.
The epic conclusion to Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune” trilogy opens in cinemas and IMAX this December.
In addition, character posters have also been released. Here are some, courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures:
The highly anticipated film stars Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Jason Momoa, Javier Bardem, Rebecca Ferguson, Florence Pugh, Robert Pattinson, Anya Taylor-Joy and Isaach De Bankolé.
The trailer, meanwhile, gives an excellent first look at Pattinson as the main antagonist of the final installment, Scytale.
In the final movie, the plot jumps ahead 17 years after Chalamet’s Paul Atreides ascended to the throne.
There will be a dramatic change in the tone from the first two films, focusing more on psychological thriller instead of a war epic, given the visuals of the previous two installments.
Atreides is now a battle-hardened Emperor, struggling with the “Holy War” that has claimed 61 million lives.
Worse, Scytale will lead a conspiracy from within that attempts to overthrow the protagonist’s empire.
Pattinson’s character will mess with Atreides’ head instead of pure brawns, in a bid to wear him down. This presents the central conflict of the upcoming film.
Universal Pictures has released the final trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which hits cinemas early next month.
Chris Pratt and Charlie Day return to play the iconic brothers Mario and Luigi, with the group getting bigger and more lovable with the addition of Donald Glover’s Yoshi.
Other actors returning to voice beloved characters from the franchise are:
- Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach
- Jack Black as Bowser
- Keegan-Michael Key as Toad
- Brie Larson as Rosalina
Worth noting, the Captain Marvel and The Marvels lead actress, Larson, fulfills her dream as a Super Mario fan as her character makes her big-screen debut.
In The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, the plumber brothers are sent into space to save Rosalina from the clutches of Bowser Jr.
Coming along for the ride are Princess Peach, Toad, and Yoshi, their newest companion.
More beloved characters will make their first big-screen appearances, including Pikmin, R.O.B., Birdo, and more.
The trailer also highlights some of the wonderful worlds the protagonists will visit, from the Preshistoric Falls to the Honeyhive Galaxy.
The film will show in theaters on April 1 in the United States and April 4 in the Philippines.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day first trailer hits hard — and gets weird
What’s happening to Peter?
Spider-Man is back — and this time, it doesn’t feel safe.
The first trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day just dropped, and it’s equal parts heartbreaking, chaotic, and… a little unsettling. The kind of trailer that makes you pause halfway through and go, “Wait, what is happening to Peter?”
Because this isn’t just about swinging through New York anymore.
This is about what happens after Peter Parker chooses to disappear.
A lonelier Spider-Man
The trailer opens with Peter hanging upside down high above the city, quietly watching MJ and Ned Leeds celebrate their first day at MIT.
They’ve moved on. They’re happy. And Peter… doesn’t exist to them anymore.
That idea lingers through the next few scenes. He rehearses introductions like a stranger trying to fit in and washes his bloodied suit in a laundromat. He carries on as Spider-Man, even receiving a Key to the City — while Peter Parker fades into the background.
Things get violent, fast
Then the trailer flips.
We see a little moment between Frrank Castle (The Punisher) and Spidey. The exchange was lighthearted but also brutal. Spidey ends up immobilizing Frank and tells him to “Go home.” Could be a quick nod to Tom Holland’s “Home” trilogy in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
And in the middle of it all, Scorpion finally emerges as a major threat, alongside a brute with mechanical gauntlets and a swarm of red-clad ninjas.
This isn’t your usual friendly neighborhood lineup.
Something is wrong with Peter
And then there’s the part that really sticks.
Peter starts deteriorating. He looks sick. Sweaty. Unstable. At one point, he collapses completely.
Then comes the reveal: Peter trapped inside a massive web cocoon — before violently breaking out of it.
He seeks out Bruce Banner, who seems to confirm what we’re all thinking — something is very wrong with Peter’s DNA. His warning? Mutation at this level is dangerous.
Paired with the narration about a spider’s life cycle and Banner’s warning, it really feels like the film is setting up a Man-Spider arc. A version of Peter where the mutation goes too far. Where the line between hero and something else starts to blur.
If that’s where this is headed, Brand New Day might be the most unsettling Spider-Man story we’ve seen on screen.
And still… MJ
The trailer closes things out with a quiet moment.
Peter shows up at MJ’s door with flowers, trying to reconnect in the simplest way he can.
She smiles. Introduces herself. Like they’ve never met. And Peter, of course, plays along. Just a friendly neighbor from across the hall.
It’s soft. It’s painful. And it lands harder than any punch in the trailer.
I’m all in
Between Frank Castle’s brutality, Bruce Banner’s warning, the arrival of Scorpion, and the possibility of a full-on Man-Spider transformation…
Yeah. This one feels different.
Can’t wait. I’m so hyped.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is coming to theaters on July 31. In the Philippines, the movie will start showing on July 29.
