Following the release of aespa's "Supernova" music video, fans are complaining about Winter's lack of screen time.
On May 13, 2024, aespa made their much-anticipated comeback with "Supernova," a pre-release to their upcoming album, "Armageddon." As it marks the girl group's first comeback this year, fans were understandably excited for the release.
However, soon after the reasons, fans noticed something that stood out: Winter's lack of screen time.
Though the "Supernova" music video is over three minutes long, Winter only had 24 seconds of screen time. On top of that, Winter only has 27 seconds of lines. This confused many, as Winter is known as the group's lead vocalist and visual.

Many wondered why SM Entertainment had Winter fly to Thailand to film the music video, even though she was sick at the time, just for 24 seconds of screen time.
The song is 179 seconds and she only gets 24 seconds out of the MV lmao. https://t.co/rHyagGw2MD pic.twitter.com/9efLKqr0Kw

So you're telling me they made Winter fly to thailand for filming when she was sick and had her surgery put on hold just for her to get "24 seconds" screentime on a 3:14 min MV in a group with 4 members?? https://t.co/WvDxfUWHn1 pic.twitter.com/aTNAcg5wgf

On top of that, most of her scenes don't showcase the scenery of the country much and utilize lots of effects, meaning she could have filmed her part in South Korea. Many slammed SM Entertainment for risking Winter's health yet did not feature her more prominently.
And to think she was sick in Thailand. If she was gonna have this short of a screentime without showcasing much of the country anyway, why make her travel? 🤣 https://t.co/rHyagGw2MD

Additionally, it was noted for the teasers of "Armageddon," Winter had the least amount of accessories and extra editing. While she was the thumbnail for the launch code, she is the only aespa member to not be the thumbnail of an official title track. This paired with her lack of lines and screen time had MYs begging for more of Winter.
For the teaser photos, Winter had the least amount of accessories and extra editing. People were mad at her for being on the thumbnail for the launch code, when she's still the only member to not be on the thumbnail for a mv/track video. And now less screen time.

Still, some MYs are hopeful that when the full album drops, they will be able to hear more of Winter in the other songs. Additionally, the music video for "Armageddon" will be released on May 27, 2024, leading fans to believe Winter may get her redemption.
