aespa’s Winter has once again charmed fans—not with a stage performance this time, but with her candid personality and relatable love for baked goods.
On July 4, Winter appeared on the YouTube channel Grandpa Park Myung Soo, where she joined the comedian to review a variety of baked treats ordered from across South Korea, part of a trendy food delivery craze known as “Post Bread.”
From the moment the video began, Winter’s enthusiasm for sweets was evident. She shared that she has a particular fondness for sweet breads, mentioning classics like financier, madeleine, and canelé as her favorites.
Her tastes aligned surprisingly well with Park Myung Soo’s, and their mutual appreciation for dessert quickly led to lighthearted banter.
Park confessed to eating nine financiers at once, while Winter casually revealed that she’s even made madeleines herself, drawing laughter from viewers.
While the bread discussion was charming enough, it was Winter’s unexpected comments about her everyday habits that truly caught fans off guard.
When Park Myung Soo asked whether she disguises herself when going out, especially near the SM Entertainment office in the trendy Seongsu-dong neighborhood, Winter casually admitted,
“I actually don’t wear a mask much. People don’t recognize me.”
This humble remark resonated with fans, as Winter explained she enjoys walking around without a specific plan, often sitting alone and exploring freely.
Her nonchalant approach to fame and solo outings paints a refreshing picture of a K-pop idol who genuinely values her independence and privacy.
When pressed to reveal her favorite “hidden gem” restaurant, Winter cheekily declined, saying,
“I have to keep it to myself, so I can’t share it.”
Still, she did let one detail slip—her favorite bread of all time is melon bread from a subway station in Japan, a niche but intriguing choice that left viewers curious and impressed with her unique tastes.
The video not only revealed Winter’s playful side and genuine personality but also offered a rare glimpse into how she lives away from the spotlight.
Her down-to-earth attitude, simple pleasures, and ability to enjoy solitude resonated strongly with fans, many of whom praised her for being so grounded despite her fame.
As aespa continues to dominate charts—recently debuting at No. 1 on the Circle album chart with Dirty Work—it’s moments like this that remind everyone why Winter is so beloved.
She’s not just a powerhouse performer but also a relatable young woman who enjoys a walk through the city and a bite of something sweet.
