"Considered becoming a soldier~"… 'aespa' Winter's Unexpected Childhood
by. Gawon Park

Aespa's Winter reveals a story of almost becoming a soldier.

On the 17th, a video titled 'Shocking True Story: Kim Minjeong Actually Playing the Piano EP.28 | Jo Hyunah's Thursday Night | Winter of aespa, Jo Hyunah' was uploaded on the YouTube channel 'Everyday Is Thursday Night.' 

In the video, aespa's Winter appeared and had a talk with Jo Hyunah. Amid discussions about childhood dreams, Winter mentioned, "I even participated in piano competitions. I was good at playing the piano when I was in elementary school, so I thought I had a talent. When I sang children's songs in kindergarten, I played the accompaniment. But as I got older, other kids who were good at it started emerging. I got discouraged and gave up."

In response to the question, "Are there many people in your family who do music?" Winter replied, "Not a single one. My family is a military family. I actually considered becoming a soldier too, because my family is a military family. But I really love singing, so I chose to become a singer."

She continued to share her childhood dreams, saying, "I wanted to try doing volunteer work for the community, and I also wanted to be an elementary school teacher. Seeing kids makes me feel healed."

Winter also mentioned her close relationship with the members. When asked about her relationship with Karina, who has been together with her for 7 years since trainee days, she said, "We get along well now and are very comfortable with each other. We've been through tough times together, so we're like that."

Regarding sharing personal stories with the members, Winter said, "If they ask and initiate, I will share, but I can't speak first. I'm not good at expressing my concerns." Jo Hyunah agreed that they have a similar style.

Winter mentioned, "(Even when facing difficulties) outwardly, I'm very practical. I think, 'Well, what can I do? It's not like being sad will change anything. It will be okay with time.' Then I go home and cry, feeling frustrated." Jo Hyunah empathized with this sentiment, saying she's the same way.
