Recently, female singer Winter of aespa group appeared as a guest on the online entertainment program Salon Drip 2.
Winter shared about his debut journey by telling a compelling story. Her honest and humorous personality is expressed through witty stories.
Originally from Gyeongsang Province, Winter commented, People in Seoul are very kind. But MC Jang Do Yeon joked, "There are still a lot of bad people." Hearing this, Winter laughed and immediately agreed: "Yes, there are many different types of people". The female singer's reaction made the entire studio laugh.
Talking about aespa's strong and future-oriented style, Winter shared that she was once surprised to show this style.
Hoi NingNing and I were still trainees, we were considered a cute and innocent couple. When they told us that we would record Next Level, we thought it was a soundtrack song. It was actually our first song, Winter recalled.
Notably, Winter revealed that before debuting as a member of aepsa in 2020, she had missed the SM Entertainment selection round 3 times.
I signed a contract with SM Entertainment in 2017 and trained for 3 and a half years. I have actually gone through 3 selections from SM, the singer shared.
For the first time, SM is more interested in Winter's brother. In the second time, Winter was chosen at a dance festival because he had a better performance than his brother, but then failed. In the third time, she attended SM's global selection in Busan and was also not accepted.
After that, when she saw signs of acceptance from other companies, because Winter still wanted to join SM, she informed SM's representative that she was considering.
I told them that I could join another company, and they invited me to participate in the final audition. SM is the company I really want to go to, so I appeared at the audition. Thats how I became a part of aespa, Winter said.

aespa attracted attention right from the debut with its unique style, combining real and virtual worlds. 4 real members Karina, Winter, Giselle, NingNing accompanied 4 virtual members throughout the group's debut products.
aespa's 2021 song "Next Level" has become a big hit. After that, a series of hits "Spicy", "Drama", "Supernova", "Armageddon" made aespa the leading group of the 4th generation of Kpop.
In the group, Karina and Winter are the two most famous members. She is loved for her outstanding beauty, good singing voice and performance ability.
Recently, aespa returned with the single "Dirty Work". The song attracted attention when aespa had many accompanying products filmed in collaboration with big brands and companies.
The performance video of Dirty Work was filmed entirely on iPhone 16 Pro. While the MV Dirty Work was filmed at the Hyundai Steel Dangjin steel Plant, with many heavy equipment and 225 supporting actors.
This proves that aespa is a sought-after group in the advertising field.
