• Jeong Dong Won Falls for aespa's Winter’s Charm: "I Like Older Women, They Feel Reliable"

    Jeong Dong Won is totally smitten by aespa member Winter’s charm!

    In the second episode of ENA-E Channel's City Z Goes to the Countryside, airing on September 15, we’ll see more of Winter’s impressive skills following her dramatic catfish-catching scene from the first episode.

    Winter's excitement is palpable when she learns that dinner will be spicy catfish stew. She grabs a knife and starts chopping the catfish head with impressive focus. The other cast members are stunned, with one commenting, "Winter is fearless," and Jeong Dong Won, a big fan of Winter, adding, "She’s really good."

    When Winter struggles with cutting the catfish bones, Jeong Dong Won steps in to help, showing off his strength. He even requests a special edit from the production team: “Please only show the parts where I cut confidently and make me look cool!”

    During the episode, Lee Yi Kyung asks Jeong Dong Won about his preference for older women. Jeong Dong Won admits, “It feels reliable, so it works well. Because we’re together.” His affection for Winter and their brother-sister bond adds a fun twist to the show.

    Winter, forgetting about the camera, slips into her Busan dialect, bringing out her real self as ‘Kim Min Jeong’ and causing everyone to laugh.

    She also shares some fun facts about her stage name originally being ‘Milly’ and gives humorous answers to questions like, “Who is the messiest friend in aespa?” making the scene even more entertaining.

    The production team shared, “Winter and Jeong Dong Won brought a youth drama vibe to the show, and we hope viewers enjoy the charming chemistry between the older and younger duo in the second episode of City Z Goes to the Countryside.”
