aespa Winter’s “Bare Face” Visual Difference Sparks Strong Reactions
The two photos were taken days apart.
A recent post comparing two photos of aespa‘s Winter with and without makeup has gone viral among Korean netizens.

In one image, captured during her recent airport appearance, Winter is seen with minimal to no makeup.

In contrast, a photo from her stage appearance at SMTOWN in Fukuoka shows her wearing a full face of makeup.

The supposed “stark differnce” was highlighted by the post on Pann which has since become a hot topic.
Winter really looks completely different depending on her makeup…
Is this even the same person?

In the comments, netizens strongly pushed back against OP’s suggestion. Many stated that Winter looks insanely pretty regardless of the amount of makeup.

- “She’s just insanely pretty though…?”
- “Judging by today’s reactions, she must be getting a lot of attention; it looks like about 10 hate posts popped up in just a few hours.”
- “All I can think is that her skin looks amazing.”
- “Doesn’t everyone already know Winter is pretty even bare-faced? Seriously, going out of your way to dig up the absolute worst photo and post this. Don’t you feel embarrassed?”
- “Stop trying to pit Karina and Winter against each other.”
