While aespa members win hearts for their “taste of iron” concept, Winter also draws attention for the stark difference in her image when she was an intern compared to when she debuted.
In an online community forum, a fan posted a rare photo of aespa images intern, Winter, and wrote:
“After she was (first) unveiled, she became known by her nickname, ‘Snow White.’ She’s really light skinned and has a princess vibe like Snow White.”
In the photos, the idol of the time appeared with straight eyebrows and brown hair without heavy makeup, which highlighted her features and porcelain skin.
Contrary to her current AI-like strong facial features, Winter back then had an innocent and pure charm, like a Disney princess. In the past, she revealed that her stage name almost became Snow White (Baek Seol) due to her snow-pale complexion.
When the post gained traction on Instiz, fans were shocked to see Winter’s photo, claiming that she looked exactly the same; but at the same time it seemed so different.
