aespa Winter’s Newest Hairstyle Hit With Viral Criticism For Unexpected Reason
A new hairstyle sported by aespa’s Winter is gaining attention after a post on the popular Korean forum Pann went viral, racking up over 100,000 views. While the post criticizes the look, most of the replies have come to Winter’s defence.
The hairstyle in question was seen at a recent Polo Ralph Lauren event. Winter appeared in an all-white outfit — a white shirt layered over a white tank crop top, paired with a long white skirt, two dark belts, and black boots.
Her hair was styled in a dark, layered cut with bangs loosely framing her face. The slightly messy look was similar to a wolfcut, a trendy style that’s been popular in Korea and all over the world in the past year.
The viral post claims the hairstyle looked unflattering and gave off a “messy” impression, saying it felt repetitive and made her look less polished.

It feels like I’ve seen this kind of styling on her multiple times, and honestly, it just looks messy and unflattering… It looks really stuffy too. She looks way prettier when her hair is completely pulled back.

Despite the criticism, the majority of the comments disagreed. Netizens praised Winter for her ability to pull off a wide range of styles, saying the look suited her well and reflected her stylist’s confidence in her versatility.
- “‘If I do it, it’s messy. If Winter does it, she’s a goddess’ Apparently so.”
- “She looks pretty, though? What’s the big deal?”
- “She’s just trying out different hairstyles, what’s the issue… Winter can pull off pretty much anything, so I think her stylist is experimenting with a bunch of looks.”
- “Pulled back or not, she’s insanely pretty either way.”
- “But honestly, Winter seems to pull off a wide range of hair and makeup looks. Way better than those idols who always stick to the same safe styles.”
