aespa Winter’s Chest Triggers Heated Debate, Video Goes Viral
Everyone knows that K-Pop idols are constantly under scrutiny, from their vocals and stage presence to their styling and appearance.
Even small details can quickly turn into heated debates.
That’s exactly what happened after a recent fancam of aespa star Winter began circulating from SMTOWN Live in Bangkok.
In the now-viral clip, Winter is performing in a fitted crop top as part of her stage outfit.

The top was so tight on the small-framed idol that many fans started jokingly comparing the top to a binder.
Binders are often worn by transgender or non-binary individuals to minimize the appearance of their chest.

The experience of being a flat chested woman is literally just being masculinised all the time, we are in hell https://t.co/tpI6wRtdSH

Non binary is when you’re flat chested or don’t want to be sexualized https://t.co/0g4o48kBPg

Others argued that it was inappropriate to label or analyze a female idol’s body in any way.
what a weird thing to say about a woman’s body just because she has small breasts https://t.co/5zvZerc7TU

I think some of you guys see a flat chested woman who doesn’t try to overcompensate with hyper-femininity and start losing your mind, actually. https://t.co/OOQjCcWDna
