While the rest of the Street Fighter 6 cast is getting ready to go to the beach, Taekwondo prodigy Juri Han is getting in touch with her South Korean roots. Her upcoming Outfit 4 is inspired by the girl group aespa and will include a K-pop-style remix of her theme, as well as aespa-themed visual effects that play before Fighting Ground matches.
Juri’s aespa-themed Outfit 4 is a limited-time cosmetic and will be available from July 4, 2025 to July 3, 2026. The collaboration gives aespa and Juri fans reasons to be excited, but it raises the question of whether Juri will receive her own swimwear-themed outfit, like the rest of the roster. There is also the issue of the outfit’s exclusivity and whether it will make a rerun after July 3, 2026. As sharp as the new look is, others have expressed disappointment that the outfit forces Juri to form an uneasy alliance with her greatest enemy: closed footwear.
Aside from Juri’s Outfit 4, virtual idol naevis (created by aespa’s record label SM Entertainment to promote the group pre-debut) will join Street Fighter 6 as a real-time commentator. Naevis’s status as a generative AI creation has drawn criticism from aespa fans, but its unsettling blow-by-blow analyses of Street Fighter 6 matches (shown in the trailer) make it stand out from the rest of the in-game commentator roster. While Juri’s Outfit 4 is most likely going to be a paid cosmetic, naevis looks like it will be included as free content.
Speaking of free content, the Street Fighter 6 Battle Hub will feature a ton of aespa-themed decorations (which will likely be up for a few weeks and not the entire year that Juri’s Outfit 4 will be available.) Players can log in to receive special aespa-themed Titles for their fighters, as well as Device Wallpapers and Photo Frames for their avatar’s smartphone and Photo Mode respectively.
The aespa and naevis collaboration begins on July 4, 2025 for Street Fighter 6. Street Fighter 6 is available on PC (Steam), PS4/PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
