However, Winter's Youtube recommendation became a hot topic on social media as one of the Youtubers that she had recommended was embroiled in a controversy back then, as well as being known to upload provocative content.
In the past, Youtuber Jun Woo was heavily criticized by netizens for having deceived his viewers by saying that his girlfriend at that time was his younger sister. In addition, Jun Woo has numerous videos with provocative titles and questionable content, such as testing women's tendency to cheat on their boyfriend, and more.
After finding out what Youtube channels Winter recommended, many netizens took to online communities to criticize the "Next Level" singer. Netizens expressed their opinions, stating that Winter is free to watch whatever she wants privately during her free time. However, they aren't a good Youtube channel to recommend to others. Others also commented that her recommendation might damage her image as a girl group member.
Plenty of netizens also came to Winter's defense, stating that her Youtube recommendation is not something to criticize about, nor is it an issue that the aespa member watches him.
