On Monday, Nov. 9, numerous photos of Winter were shared with a Facebook page called "Idol Issue". On the said post, numerous stories of Winter from former classmates of the girl revealed how she treated those around her and how her visuals were always top-tier, even during her school days.
One school mate revealed WInter looks prettier barefaced, saying, "She is prettier without make-up." They also added that Winter is someone with a nice personality, stating, "Her personality is really good. She is someone who has those deer eyes."
Another classmate revealed that Winter had once bought her a gift for her birthday. "I had to repeat a school year to study more for the college entrance exam. During that time, Winter had bought me a gift to greet me on my birthday. I knew she would succeed. I never saw Winter curse and she always helped other people around her. She helped her peers in class that she knew needed help."
Another netizen who claims to be her friend revealed Winter's character specifically, stating the soon-to-debut idol has a shy, sweet, and bright personality. "She is shy around quiet people, but she is very sweet and bubbly when she is with her close friends. She will never have an attitude controversy."
