A recent post on the popular Korean forum Pann Nate has sparked online discussions about aespa’s Winter.
The post highlighted her bare-faced appearance, claiming that it was a stark contrast to the image fans are familiar with. The poster mentioned that Winter’s unmade-up face was so different from her usual look that it caused “cognitive dissonance.” Despite believing that Winter would still look beautiful without makeup, the post suggests that her natural appearance caught them off guard.
The post seems to have been made with the intention of downgrading Winter’s image, as it emphasized the disparity between her bare face and her usual polished look. While some fans have rushed to defend Winter, the post has nonetheless triggered a flurry of reactions online.
- Winter’s bare face is beautiful, and if you look at just a few pictures, you’ll find plenty of them, but some people keep picking out one or two unflattering shots and start making a fuss, haha.
- I’m curious how long they’ll keep bothering girl group members with awkward moment captures. Winter openly posts bare-faced photos on Instagram, haha.
- Winter’s bare face and nose bridge are so beautiful, just saying.
- The screenshots in the post are pretty too, haha!
It’s a natural no-makeup look with no lip tint, and the lighting is strong enough to make her features less noticeable. Fans find it cute, but it’s funny that you’re taking the photos so seriously and writing these posts.
Despite the negative attention, it’s clear that Winter’s natural beauty still shines through. The online chatter surrounding her bare-faced appearance is more about societal expectations than anything else. As some fans point out, it’s not unusual for idols to face scrutiny for moments that aren’t fully polished, but it’s refreshing to see Winter confidently embrace her natural look.
