Aespa’s Winter Accused Of “Mistreating” Staff Members, Footage Goes Viral
Amid dating rumors with BTS’s Jungkook, aespa’s Winter hasn’t been on the good side of Korean netizens for the past few weeks.
The idol is now facing accusations of misbehaving around staff members.

Two clips of Winter during behind the scenes footage shared on aespa’s YouTube channel are making the rounds on social media after netizens slammed her behavior.
The staff are probably gonna have a hell of a time bending over backwards to cater to Winter.

The first clip shows Winter interacting with her hair stylist. The stylists tells the idol that she has to put a hairpiece on because her hair is too thin. Winter whines loudly in responde, which “noticeably” flusters the staff member.
Winter: Can I just use my own hair?
HairStylist: It’s too thin, there isn’t enough hair…
Winter: Ahhhh, don’t say it like that. My bangs can hear that.
HairStylist: You got me wrong!
Winter: [jokingly to her bangs] Sorry, sorry, sorry! Don’t listen to her..

Meanwhile, the second clip involves a staff member asking Winter not to spill cake on her clothes. Winter whines again, something that Korean netizens seemingly aren’t huge fans of.
Staff: Don’t get it in the shirt please.
Winter: Then should I not eat it?
Staff: You can, but can you be careful as you eat?
Winter: I’m being really careful.

I got curious so I looked it up… Apparently there was even a time she had to change outfits because she spilled something. I just feel bad for the staff who have to make the clothes, source them, and bust their asses. To an idol it’s probably just ‘an outfit,’ that’s it…

What the f*ck is up with the way she talks. They’re literally just asking her to please be careful not to spill, and she twists it into ‘so what, am I not supposed to eat gifts then?’ That’s completely missing the damn point.. seriously, f*ck.
