Rumors of a relationship between aespa's Winter and BTS's Jungkook are currently circulating. In particular, recent claims that Winter made remarks reminiscent of Jungkook on aespa's official YouTube channel have led some to criticize, asking, "Isn't she deceiving fans?"
On January 13th, a video titled "Today I'm a Western Chef" was posted on aespa's official YouTube channel. Chef Napoli Matpia, the winner of "Black and White Chef," appeared as a guest and showed Winter how to make pasta.
While Winter was putting dough into the noodle maker and spinning it to make noodles, she said to the camera, “Yah, are you watching? (t/n: 있냐? is a very informal ending)” When Napoli Matpia asked back, “Who are you talking to?”, Winter smiled and said again, “Are you watching?” while the caption on the video said, “MYs (aespa fandom name) are you watching?”, but netizens who saw this interpreted it as “Isn’t she talking to Jungkook, not the fans?” The possibility that she said “Yah” to the fans was also pointed out as a problem, but netizens argued, based on her existing communication style, “If she had said it to the fans, she would have said something like, ‘MYs, are you watching? (t/n: 있어? is more formal)’” [Nate]
StayC Sieun receives criticism over being 'too skinny'. One netizen comments "These days, celebrities are getting too severe. In the past, there was a time when being skinny was trendy, then ‘healthy-looking’ bodies became popular, and now being skinny is trendy again, but this time it’s on a whole different level. It’s not just being thin; it’s what people call a ‘bones-only’ body type. Back in the day, bodies this thin would have raised suspicions of ano****a, that’s how extreme it is. Also, before it was mostly idols like that, but now even actors are appearing in dramas with bodies that look like nothing but bones. They look sick, so I can’t even immerse myself in the drama. Even if adults with bodies like that don’t have problems right now, there’s no way it won’t cause issues later. At least celebrities get professional management, but non-celebrities who try to copy them…” [Nate]
