Who Is the 'Handsome Bodyguard' Who Stole the Spotlight at aespa Winter's Event?

Girl group aespa's member Winter recently garnered attention not just for her presence at the Ralph Lauren collection event in New York, but also for an unexpected individual: a strikingly handsome bodyguard.

Winter attended the ‘Ralph Lauren Spring 2026 Women's Collection’ held in New York on November 11th (local time) as a brand ambassador. She captivated attendees with a classic yet elegant look, pairing a silk dress with a corset belt and adding a sophisticated touch with a satin crossbody chain.

However, another figure managed to steal the spotlight as she departed the venue. A foreign bodyguard, tasked with ensuring Winter's safety, was photographed, and his tall, well-built physique in a suit immediately caught the eye of global K-pop fans. Standing at 188cm, he efficiently cleared a path for Winter while managing fan interactions, leading to a surge of interest.

Amidst the explosive attention, the bodyguard revealed his identity. Introducing himself as Nathan Overland, he shared his surprise and gratitude via TikTok for the sudden increase in followers. He clarified, "I'm not actually Winter's personal bodyguard. I was hired as a model by Ralph Lauren."

Nathan added, "It was my first time seeing Winter in person, and it was a precious and honorable experience." He has been working with a modeling agency for two years and has also had brief acting experiences. While he indicated no intention to continue as a bodyguard, the unexpected spotlight has significantly boosted his social media following.
