aespa Winter's Long Hair: Style Statement or Poor Mistake?
Winter of aespa became the subject of discussion online.
In a forum made by netizens online, an author posted a photo of Winter at the 12th Circle Chart Music Awards. Although Winter is currently rocking a mid-length styling nowadays, the original poster still mentioned how much long hairstyle didn't suit the idol.

According to the author, this is because Winter looked "average" during aespa's "Black Mamba" era, where she sported a long, wavy hairstyle that captured most audiences. However, Winter became one of the top-tier visual idols because of her short haircut.
The author stated:
"I think it's because maybe she looked 'so-so' during the group's 'Black Mamba' phase in their rookie days. But nowadays, I think Winter is now at the top tier among female idols because of her mid-length hair and bangs.
Winter's look in long hair cuts her visuals in half, and I feel that they really should stick to her short hairstyling."
Meanwhile, the post went viral online, receiving more than 261 upvotes and numerous comments from MYs (aespa's fandom). Fans opposed the negative take on Winter's long hair and criticized the author for bringing a "bad" picture in the discussion as sample.
Fans followed up compliments to the idol's long hairstyling and how much she looked pretty with it. Some mentioned that the author's photo just contained less-appealing makeup. Their comments were also accompanied by separate pictures and gifs.
Read their comments below:
"It's really sad how you brought a bad photo of hers on purpose. She looked mostly pretty with her long hair too."
"Shut up, please."

"This viral gif spread on Twitter, and it got explosive reactions since she had long hair. That photo you posted was just one bad photo taken instantly. Her makeup was bad there too."
"Winter with long hairstyle is pretty though."

"That day, the makeup they did on Winter didn't really suit her. It just happened that her makeup didn't synchronize with Winter's visuals. Other times, she looked so pretty with her long hair."
Meanwhile, some expressed that Winter didn't look bad at the picture at all, since everyone just got used to her bob haircut, which set the standard too high!
"It's not that she doesn't fit long hair. I just think we got so used to her with a bob haircut. She's a pretty girl and will always look good in everything."
"She's one of the idols who can pull off any hairstyle."
