aespa's Winter Unveils Stunning Autumn Photoshoot, Emphasizes 'Authenticity on Stage Shines Brightest'

aespa member Winter has captivated fans with her enchanting autumn pictorial.

Fashion magazine Harper's Bazaar Korea has unveiled the cover images for their October issue, featuring the artist and immediately drawing attention. The photoshoot, fulfilling Winter's special wish to "shoot with horses," was set against the backdrop of a horse riding club in Gangwon Province, capturing her natural interactions with two horses.

Despite a packed schedule, Winter genuinely enjoyed the photoshoot. Even though the shoot took place during a week that included aespa's 2025 live tour concerts and preparations for their 6th mini-album 'Rich Man,' she exuded diverse charms from early morning until dusk, showcasing her professionalism in various settings within the club.

In a subsequent interview, Winter candidly discussed the pressures she felt while preparing for the new mini-album 'Rich Man.' She shared, "Rather than feeling pressure, I always strive to express the song well and fulfill my role. There was a time I worried that the character of Winter wasn't defined by a single color, but I realized it could be my strength when fans told me they appreciated my ability to pull off various concepts."

Addressing the success of 'Rich Man,' Winter stated, "I don't think we can completely ignore the charts, as they are a visible result. However, I feel that our own satisfaction on stage overcomes the numbers." Her stage philosophy was evident as she added, "I believe an artist shines brightest when they look cool, and that coolness emanates from someone who genuinely expresses their music on stage with all their heart."

Born in 2001, Winter serves as the main vocalist and lead dancer for aespa. She is adored for her refreshing yet powerful vocal abilities and captivating performances. Furthermore, she showcases her versatility as an all-around entertainer through various variety show appearances.
