Note Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

Aespa won the Rookie of the Year at all major music awards in South Korea, including the Melon Music Awards (MMA), MAMA Awards (MAMA), Golden Disc Awards (GDA), Seoul Music Awards (SMA), Circle Chart Music Awards (GCMA), and Korean Music Awards (KMA). In March 2022, Aespa won Song of the Year for "Next Level" at the 19th Korean Music Awards, making them the second girl group to have won the award.
