Aespa's Winter's 'Handsome Bodyguard' Revealed to Be a Ralph Lauren Model

Winter from the group aespa (AESPA) garnered significant attention at a New York fashion event, but it was an unexpected figure standing behind her who truly captured global fans' eyes: her strikingly handsome bodyguard.

Winter attended the ‘Ralph Lauren Spring 2026 Women's Collection’ held in New York on the 11th (local time) as a brand ambassador. She showcased classic charm in a silk dress paired with a corset belt, adding a sophisticated touch with a satin chain bag, exuding an elegant aura.

However, the scene during her departure garnered just as much buzz as the main event. A foreign bodyguard, standing tall behind Winter, was captured by fans' cameras with his impressive visuals. Standing at 188cm and dressed impeccably in a suit, his mere presence as he cleared a path for Winter captivated the gaze of the global fandom.

As the intense interest grew, the individual revealed his identity. His name is Nathan Overland, and he explained via TikTok, "My followers have recently surged. It's surprising and I'm thankful." He clarified, "Actually, I'm not Winter's personal bodyguard, but a model hired by Ralph Lauren." He added, "It was my first time seeing Winter, and it was a precious and honorable moment."

Nathan Overland has been working with a modeling agency for two years and mentioned he had some acting experience. He stated, "I don't intend to continue as a bodyguard," drawing a line under that possibility. Nevertheless, amidst this unexpected attention, his social media follower count is rapidly increasing.

Meanwhile, aespa, the group Winter belongs to, performed on the American ABC morning show ‘Good Morning America’ on the 12th (local time) and also participated in a recording for the Fox TV show ‘The Jennifer Hudson Show,’ continuing their global endeavors.

Nathan Overland, standing at an imposing 188cm, attracted attention with his good looks and sharp suit. He was tasked with ensuring Winter's safety during the Ralph Lauren collection event. This unexpected turn of events has led to a significant surge in his social media following.
