A pann post claimed that Winter is a "Gangnam Beauty" after seeing the female idol's pictures at Paris Fashion Week. Immediately, MYs (aespa fandom) were quick to refute the claim.
Here's what happened.
MYs Defend aespa Winter From Claim She's A 'Gangnam Beauty'
The post calling Winter a "Gangnam Beauty" received mixed reactions as it garnered 654 upvotes and 469 downvotes.
In context, Gangnam Beauty is what Koreans call women that have done plastic surgery on their faces that they all look like the same person. Gangnam is a popular place where well-to-do people reside, and there are many women in the area who do adjustment to their physical appearances.
Because of this, MYs cannot accept the unbacked claim.
"Do you think that a big company would debut a Gangnam beauty?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ These Gangnam beauties can get as many surgeries as they want but won't even come to Winter's toes..."
"She's just a beauty"
"Look at how many hate posts we are getting about the female idols who went to Paris, the same is happening to Jang Wonyoungㅋㅋㅋㅋ Pann-girls sure have their trigger button pressed when they see female idols living a life that's different from theirs~ You guys are hating on Jang Wonyoung and Aespa all day long ㅠㅠ"
"Winter is popular so Pann-girls are getting jealous againㅋㅋㅋㅋ Just try to showcase your inferiority complex for the rest of your lives. Anyways, everyone likes her in real life so when you losers come somberly on Nate Pann and leave hate comments in secret, Winter is being f*cking popular with guysㅎㅎ"
It is a battle between likes and downvotes in every comment as it almost always evens out. To MYs, being hated in pann is a sign of immense popularity.
On the other hand, there are a few comments agreeing with the post and saying that Winter indeed looks like a "Gangnam Beauty" in her recently-taken photos.
"Seriously, I feel like she's gonna appear in the Gangnam beauty island"
International MYs Come To aespa Winter's Defense
Meanwhile, international MYs and other K-pop fans are not agreeing with the post. Some are saying that it is only because of her makeup, because the following days, Winter did not look like that.
"It seems like the makeup contour on her nose is harsh"
"I wanted to point that out but I'm 100% sure people will claim we are delusional fangirls. I'm not saying she did or didn't get work done but it definitely looks more like harsh contour bc we got plenty of fan pics and it never looked like this before."
"I've seen how she looks on fan calls even without makeup and her nose doesn't look that bad till she comes to America even during fan-taken videos even in Korea it never looks that bad it's def her makeup team, especially with how she looked at the Macy's day parade"
However, there are others who do agree she did get plastic surgery, but not to the point of calling her a "Gangnam Beauty."
"She got a nose job, and another one recently a few months ago to correct it. it was too high, now it looks more natural, the bridge is lower."
"I liked that she corrected it. I definitely noticed a glow up from her recently and now I realize it's because her face looks more balanced."
