As the photos were untouched, many started speculating that SM Entertainment carefully edits Winter's photos to make her appear smoother and slimmer than she does in real life. As a result, some people claimed that Winter's visuals appeared more average than expected and that she lacked the celebrity aura she had in her pictorial photos.
In performance photos or teasers shared by SM Entertainment, Winter is often praised as the visual of aespa. She has previously earned praise for visuals like a video game character. However, this has caused some to be disappointed in her real-life photos, which did not fully capture Winter's beauty.

Supporters of the idol also noted that all K-pop idols are carefully edited for their teasers and music videos and that Winter is not the only idol guilty of this.
