aespa’s Winter Shares Unexpected Stress-Relief Techniques, Admits to Being Less Optimistic

On December 8, the popular YouTube channel GQ KOREA released an engaging video featuring Winter from the K-pop group aespa.

During the video, Winter candidly discussed her most frequently uttered phrases from the year, humorously remarking that she often found herself asking, “What’s for dinner today?” and “What time are we leaving tomorrow?”

In a discussion about her interactions, Winter noted her frequent use of the term “unnie,” which means older sister, highlighting her close relationships within the group—specifically, she referred to the ages of her manager and two fellow aespa members.

When reflecting on her personal outlook, Winter acknowledged, “Honestly, I don’t think I’m a very optimistic person. Being overly optimistic can lead to disappointment.” She elaborated that while optimism works for some, she personally prefers a more realistic approach to her expectations, stating, “If I focus on the positive and things don’t go as planned, I feel let down.” This perspective shows a mature understanding of the balance between hope and reality.

Turning to the topic of stress relief, Winter shared her love for indulging in ice cream after a long day. “I’m a foodie and I find comfort in enjoying meals alone,” she explained. “When I get back to my dorm, I take my time to savor my favorite foods while watching something entertaining. It’s my way of unwinding,” she added.

As the conversation wrapped up, Winter expressed heartfelt wishes for her future self, especially since her birthday falls on January 1. She reflected on her aspirations, stating that one of her significant goals was to win a Grand Prize (Daesang), which she accomplished this year. Her encouraging self-messages included affirmations like “You worked so hard,” “I’m proud of you,” and “Let’s do our best next year too!”
