Backstage Blunders and Hilarious Confessions

During her chat with host Jang Do-yeon, the incident was brought back to light. Do-yeon asked, “There’s a video with your voice that’s basically been immortalized. What happened backstage at the Billboard Awards?”

Winter recounted, “We were waiting in the dressing room for an extensive period, as we were getting our hair and makeup done. My voice became hoarse, and I made a joke about it smelling like grilled meat, due to the heat of the curling iron mixing with hairspray.”

A Shocking Revelation

Winter reflected on the moment when she was informed by her fellow member, Karina, saying, “Your voice was broadcasted.” Initially, she assumed that Karina was referring to her hoarse voice and responded, “Was it? I didn’t know.” However, the true extent of the situation hit her when their manager showed her the clip that fans had started to circulate.

“I honestly believed it was a hidden camera prank, ” Winter admitted, expressing her disbelief.“I kept questioning, ‘Did I say something unusual? How far did it go?’ Much to my surprise, it was longer and more widespread than I had anticipated.”

The viral clip showcased Winter casually humming to “Whiplash” and engaging in conversation with her team, inadvertently attracting the attention of fans and catching both her and aespa off guard.
