Winter "SM Audition—Eliminated 3 Times, Karina DM Casting" [Cold Refrigerator, Please!][Star-By-Star TV]

Aespa's Winter revealed the behind-the-scenes story of her SM Entertainment audition.
On the JTBC variety program 'Please Take Care of My Refrigerator,' which aired on the 5th, Aespa's Winter and Karina appeared as guests.
That day, Kim Sung-joon said, "The two of you are definitely the SM type," and Karina said, "I think Winter is definitely the SM type. She has a pale image like senior Seo Hyun-jin and senior Taeyeon,"

In response, Winter said, "I think Karina unnie is definitely the SM type," adding, "I failed the SM audition about three times. On the other hand, unnie was first contacted by SM through a DM. Unnie is someone chosen by SM, and I am someone who chose SM," drawing laughter.
Kim Sung-joon then said, "I have some surprising news. Among the chefs, there is also an SM type that Winter thinks of," and Winter said, "It's Chef Song Jong-won and Chef Jung Ho-young. Chef Jung Ho-young seems closer to the kind of person who attracts fandom within the team," making the studio burst into laughter.
