On November 3, Winter appeared as a guest on the online channel “BDNS.” In the episode, he chatted with Moon Sang-hoon.
To the question: “Don’t like walking?“Winter replied:”Yes, I really like walking. I get bored easily, so even if I have a set route, I take a side path or even go down a completely unfamiliar road.“
Winter shared that when he walks he tends to focus more on the music than his thoughts. When asked if he has a playlist to follow for his walks, he replied: “It depends on my mood, but lately I’ve been enjoying ‘White Night’ by Zitten and also ‘Shampoo Fairy’ by Light and Salt.”
When asked about his day off routine, Winter said: “When I rest alone, I still try to make plans. For me, the best plan is not an exercise program or self-care routine. But I end up scheduling them anyway, so my goal is not to.” He continued: “Since it’s a job where I can’t fully relax, sometimes going out without a plan, hanging out with my crew members, or visiting an amusement park feels like a real vacation.”
To the question: “Do you go to amusement parks too?“he explained,”Before the concert, focusing only on practice made things overwhelming, with too much to memorize and stress about. Since rehearsal didn’t start until the afternoon, I asked one of the dancers, “Do you want to go to an amusement park?” So we went, wearing hats and masks, and did some rides. That was healing for me too.“
Moon Sang-hoon commented: “If I were a member of aespa, I feel like the thrill of riding a roller coaster would be doubled by the thrill of wondering if people would recognize me.” Winter laughed and agreed, saying, “On the trip we took there was a really long line and we waited more than two hours, but no one recognized me.”
When asked if they do anything similar to athletes gathering and cheering before a game, Winter said: “I don’t think we do that before we record. But before we go on stage we will shout ‘Ah~!’ and sometimes it jumps a little.“
aespa recently released their fifth mini-album, Whiplash.
