Winter's Slim Figure Raises Concerns Among Fans During aespa's Comeback

aespa made a captivating appearance on Mnet's 'M Countdown' on May 11th, delighting fans with performances of their title track "Spicy" and the B-side track "Salty & Sweet" from their latest album.

One aspect that drew significant attention was Winter's noticeably slender physique during the performance of "Spicy."

Dressed in a pink crop top that accentuated her waist, paired with a tennis skirt, Winter showcased her flawless dance lines and mesmerizing stage presence.

However, alongside her doll-like beauty, Winter's raised arms during the choreography revealed her visible ribs, raising concerns among fans. The delicate appearance of her wrists and forearms further fueled worries about her well-being. During the performance of "Salty & Sweet," Winter's slender jawline without any visible facial fat became the focal point of discussions, solidifying her status as the center of attention.

Online users have expressed their opinions, with some stating that they preferred Winter's previous appearance and finding her current look too sharp or extreme.

Adding to the concern, Winter had to miss a performance in Japan last month due to an unexpected health condition.

In a press conference held on May 8th, Winter addressed her health issues, expressing her regrets for being unable to be with the Japanese fans and acknowledging the concerns raised among fans and fellow members.

She reassured everyone that she has fully recovered and is currently in excellent health.

Despite Winter's personal assurance of her recovery, fans continue to voice their worries about her significant weight loss and its potential impact on her well-being.

On a brighter note, aespa's third mini-album, 'MY WORLD,' released on the 8th, has achieved remarkable success.

Not only did it set a new record for the highest first-day sales among all K-pop girl groups, with an impressive 1,372,929 copies sold, but it has also dominated major domestic music charts and claimed the top spot on iTunes Top Albums charts in 20 regions worldwide.

The album's release has garnered tremendous enthusiasm and support from fans around the globe.

As fans eagerly anticipate aespa's future activities, they hope to see Winter in a healthier state and trust that her well-being remains a priority for the group.

Now, Seven has remained on both the Global 200 and Global (excluding U.S.) charts for an impressive 71 consecutive weeks. This milestone solidifies Jungkook as the first Asian solo artist to achieve such a streak on both charts. His success highlights his growing influence and power as a global pop star.

In addition to Seven, Jungkook’s other songs, Standing Next to You and 3D, also topped both charts, marking a historic achievement. He became the first solo artist in history to have three songs simultaneously reach number one on both charts within one year, a huge accomplishment in Billboard history.

Seven also set a record by staying at number one on the Global (excluding U.S.) chart for 9 consecutive weeks and 7 weeks on the Global 200 chart, making it the longest streak of consecutive number ones by any Asian artist on both charts.

Jungkook’s global dominance continues with 206 weeks on the Global 200 chart and 254 weeks on the Global (excluding U.S.) chart, proving his continued strength in the international music scene.

On the prestigious Hot 100 chart, Jungkook made history by placing Seven, Standing Next to You, and 3D in the top five.

Seven even reached number one, while Standing Next to You and 3D charted at number five. Jungkook became the first K-pop solo artist to spend 68 weeks on the Hot 100 chart.

His album GOLDEN also made waves by debuting at number two on the Billboard 200, marking Jungkook as the first Asian solo artist to achieve this and the first to chart for 24 consecutive weeks.

Jungkook’s success continues as he has earned six nominations in five categories at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs), including Top Song Sales Artist, Top Selling Song (for Standing Next to You), Top Global K-Pop Artist, Top Global K-Pop Song (for Standing Next to You and 3D), and Top K-Pop Album (GOLDEN).
