Everything is going smoothly until the OP saw this and uploaded it with the caption:
"I thought this was Winter. She looks f***ing the same."
Initially, some agreed and left positive comments, highlighting that they were more like twins due to their uncanny similarities.
One fan even shared aespa Winter's photo wearing a similar white dress, hairstyle and makeup. This was when the issue arose and web users started accusing Chaewon of imitating Winter.
Some of the comments said:
- "She's imitating Winter."
- "The fact that she even copied Winter's hairstyle is seriously hilarious."
- "They have different noses."
- "She's been famous as a Winter imitator since Winter had short black hair in the 'Savage' era."
- "It's almost the same if weren't for her nose."
- "This is the first time among female idols of the same generation that their styles overlap like this."
FEARNOTs Defend LE SSERAFIM Chaewon, MYs Ask Not To Drag aespa Winter in 'Drama'
As soon as the post went viral, FEARNOTs immediately defended Chaewon.
- "Chaewon is prettier and I like her more. Are you doing this because you are jealous of her? Don't get hurt, Chaewon."
- "But what's a bit unfair is that Chaewon debuted first, and when IZ*ONE did brown hair and short hair first. When Winter came out, there were a lot of people who came to like her. That's the time when Chaewon went into HYBE and didn't communicate with fans.
- Because aespa Winter is more popular, so they always say that they copy her. There are a lot of fans who have the same taste overlapping between the two. It's just that the concepts and styling overlapped, but why do you always compare each other."
- "It's just a common hair color, and isn't the clothes a common style worn by female idols?"
Amid this, MYs also asked the other fandom to refrain from dragging Winter into the drama.
- "Stop pitting these two 'sisters' in the drama."
- "Can anyone just leave winter alone for a day?"
- "Let's not put two queens against each other."
