aespa Winter "Kimchi as a side dish for soju, and when drinking alone, things get messy" A whole new kind of grandma’s palate (Cold Refrigerator Battle)

Aespa's Winter revealed a taste for grandma-style food that is on another level.

Winter and Aespa's Karina appeared as guests on episode 78 of JTBC's entertainment show 'Please Take Care of My Refrigerator since 2014' (hereafter 'Fridge') broadcast on July 5.

That day, pumpkin leaves were found in Winter's refrigerator. When she said, "I boil pumpkin leaves and eat them with rice and soy-bean paste stew," people reacted by saying she has an older person's palate, and Winter said, "I do have a bit of a grandma-style palate. I like hearty flavors, soybean paste, cheonggukjang, kongbiji, and soybean noodle soup. If you wrap rice in bean leaves and eat it, a bowl disappears in no time."

Alcohol was found in abundance too. Winter, who does not discriminate among types of liquor such as wine, makgeolli, soju, and champagne, admitted, "I'm not very good at drinking, but I drink a little with my meal, like having a drink with food."

The soju was one she had left unfinished. Embarrassed, Winter said, "The writer said they would definitely put in a new one," and when asked how many days it takes her to drink one bottle, she said the amount visible now was "what I drank in one day." Karina worriedly asked Winter, who had drunk that much soju alone, "Are you okay?" and Choi Hyun-seok laughed, saying, "What's important is that you had it while eating alone."

When asked what she usually has as side dishes for drinks, Winter replied, "Well, kimchi or something," and Kim Poong was horrified, saying, "Kimchi with soju?" Choi Hyun-seok, surprised by the unusual Winter, asked, "What I'm curious about is whether you pour it into a glass and drink it." Kim Seong-ju scolded Choi Hyun-seok, saying there's no way an idol would guzzle straight from the bottle, but the flustered Winter made everyone laugh by admitting to bottle-drinking, asking, "But when you drink alone, do you always pour it into a glass?"
