During a personality quiz segment “Nana Tour with seventeen”, The cast was unable to identify Aespa Winter’s face, despite being active idols themselves. The situation unleashed the online debate, above all because this was not an episode focused on the drama or focus on the actor as New journey to the west. These were idols that imagined other idols, yet they still lost their mark.
This is not the first time that something like this happened. In a previous segment of variety focused on the Hybe, even more male idols have not been able to recognize winter.
A post related to PIG has attracted significant attention and triggering a discussion. While some have questioned his public recognition, many fans have been ready to defend his widespread visibility and the status of extraordinary fourth generation.
CNG comments:
- “If it weren’t really famous, it would not have been a quiz response in the first place … Among the 4th generation idols, the only ones who appeared several times in fifteen nights in the quiz of the Trip Business character are Annnyungz and Karina-In Arrival. Only those four.”
- “So just because two people have not achieved the right answer, isn’t it popular? And if you look” fifteen nights on business trip, “Baekho does not even know the current jargon who also lost to the lunch game …”
- “Did you even watch the video until the end? Both knew it, but they still made a mistake. And to the people trapped in the illusion that winter is nobody: go out, and you will see Winter’s new balance advertisements everywhere in Soul. Turn on TV or YouTube and you will see it in the world of the Mamonda.
- “If you stopped people on the street and ask you if they recognize a member or winter, I’m quite sure that winter would win, without a doubt.”
- “If it were not well known, the producers would not have included it in the quiz to start with Lol. Did you not see when Dokyeom was wrong and had to do flexions? The members totally roasted him for this.”
Regardless of the interpretation, the moment has rekindled the discussion on how even the known idols sometimes fall under the radar, depending on the platform, the gap of generation or simply to the quiz range of the day.
