The star’s alleged change in appearance has caught attention.
A recent post on the popular Korean forum Pann has gone viral for discussing aespa member Winter‘s noticeable change in appearance, particularly her alleged slight weight gain.

The post — which has racked up over 55,000 views and hundreds of upvotes — quickly became one of the hottest topics of the day.
In the post, the original poster (OP) compared Winter’s current look to her appearance during aespa’s “Spicy” promotions. According to them, her face appears noticeably fuller now, especially in the cheeks.


Thankfully, rather than criticize the change, the viral post praises Winter’s current look, saying she looks much healthier and even resembles her debut-era visuals.
When compared to the “Spicy” era, her cheeks are noticeably fuller. But honestly, she looks way better now. Her face kind of reminds me of her debut days, and she looks soft and cute.

What made this post stand out even more was the overwhelmingly positive response from netizens. Some even mentioned concerns over her past health issues, such as pneumothorax, suggesting that gaining weight could be beneficial for her recovery and overall well-being.
With more fans valuing health over extreme thinness, Winter’s subtle transformation seems to have struck the right chord.

- “Yeah, Winter looks prettier now that she’s put on a bit of weight. Her complexion seems brighter and it suits her image.”
- “She looks even better with the weight gain.”
- “She went from super, super skinny to just skinny.”
- “She needs to gain weight. There’s a risk of her pneumothorax recurring, so she should definitely put on more.”
As aespa continues their activities, fans seem happy to see Winter looking healthier and more radiant than ever.
