Previously, a topic titled “Winter wearing glasses is so funny” was published on the Korean forum Pann Nate, drawing over 141,000 views. This topic include various photos of aespa’s Winter with her bare face and wearing horn-rimmed glasses.
While many people praise Winter’s polished yet somehow “dorky” appearance, even comparing the female idol to a character in “Despicable Me”, things got complicated as the original topic gained popularity,

In particular, there were comments spreading malicious and groundless rumors about Winter, such as accusing the aespa member of seducing younger male idols and luring them to hostess bars. Some even left scathing comments on her appearance, with comments such as “Her philtrum is 2 meters long.”
Fortunately, most netizens (and fans) were quick to jump to Winter’s defense. These people tell the haters to look at themselves in the mirror, and praise Winter for her natural beauty.
Below are some comments from netizens:


- She looks like the character dubbed by Taeyeon in “Despicable Me 2”. So adorable
- For some reason, she looks simultaneous sharp and and dorky, which gives her a duo charm
- There’s just something so meme quality about these images
- Ugh, some people sure are bitter in the comment sections. Look at yourselves in the mirror before typing.
