"Ready for winter?" The face has changed so much even AI is surprised…Fans "couldn’t recognize her"

[Sports Seoul | Reporter Park Chan-hyeong] aespa's Winter captured fans' attention with styling that created an atmosphere completely different from her usual look.

On the 26th, the YouTube channel 'W KOREA' released a video titled 'Winter's Crunchy Squishy ASMR, What if Winter Actually Made Lemonade?'

In the video, Winter made lemonade by squeezing lemons herself and showcased ASMR content. As she forcefully squeezed the lemon juice by hand and added ice, syrup, and carbonated water, she revealed her uniquely quirky charm.

After tasting the finished lemonade, she was surprised by how sour it was, coughed, and drew laughter. She then added more syrup and remade it, expressing satisfaction and introducing it as 'Winter-style lemonade.'

But what drew even more attention than the video itself was Winter's visual transformation.

Instead of her usual pure and cute image, the combination of deep eye makeup, slim sunglasses, and a calm hairstyle created a much chicer atmosphere. Because her styling was so noticeably different from her usual look, reactions also followed saying they could not tell it was Winter just by seeing the thumbnail.

Fans showed intense interest, reacting with comments such as, 'Is that Winter?', 'That's a styling I've never seen before', 'Just the makeup completely changed the mood', 'I thought it was someone else from the thumbnail', and 'Even AI would be confused.'

Meanwhile, aespa, the group Winter belongs to, has established itself as a leading fourth-generation girl group by releasing numerous hit songs such as 'Next Level', 'Supernova', 'Armageddon', and 'Whiplash' since its debut in 2020. Their second full-length album 'LEMONADE', released in May, also topped global charts and continues to enjoy steady popularity.
