• aespa's Winter Shares Amusement Park Adventure: “I Waited Two Hours, But No One Recognized Me!”

    aespa member Winter opened up about her trip to an amusement park for some much-needed fun while preparing for a concert.

    On November 3, Winter was a guest on the online show BDNS, where she chatted with host Moon Sang Hoon.

    When asked if she enjoys walking, Winter said, “Yes! I really love it. I get bored easily, so if I have a set route, I like to explore side paths or try new trails.”

    During her walks, Winter often thinks about singing rather than anything else. She shared her current favorite songs, saying, “It changes with my mood, but lately, I really like ‘Baekya’ by Jit Ssenior and ‘Fairy of Shampoo’ by Wa Light and Salt.”

    Talking about her free time, Winter explained, “When I’m resting alone, I like to make plans. But I usually plan too much. My goal is to avoid over-scheduling myself.” She added, “Since I can’t relax too much in this job, going out to have fun with the members and visiting amusement parks feels like a real holiday.”

    When asked about her amusement park experience, Winter recalled, “Before the concert, practicing all the time can get stressful with everything to memorize. So, I asked one of the dancers, ‘Shall we go to the amusement park?’ We wore hats and masks on the rides, and it was really healing.”

    Moon Sang Hoon responded, “If I were in aespa, I’d feel the thrill of the rides and the excitement of whether people would recognize me.” Winter laughed, remembering, “We waited in line for over two hours, and no one recognized me at all!”

    She was also asked if aespa gathers to cheer each other on before performances like athletes. Winter replied, “Not really before recording. But just before going on stage, we shout ‘Ah~!’ and run around a bit.”

    Meanwhile, Winter and aespa recently released their fifth mini-album, Whiplash.
