Another thing that many found similar is how their vibes changed from debut until now. When Winter first debuted, she had a sweet, innocent aura despite aespa's girl crush concept. This is due to her delicate features and her long, blonde hair during the "Black Mamba" era.
As aespa made comebacks, Winter's vibe became edgier. This is because she dyed her hair black and had her try several different hairstyles. Her image became stronger, but people still loved her cute features.
