aespa member Winter shocked fans by revealing she often strolls around Seoul without disguises or masks.
On July 4 KST, Winter appeared on comedian Park Myung Soo’s YouTube show Hal Myungsoo. During the chat, Park asked if she ever sneaks around Seongsu-dong—the area where SM Entertainment’s office is located—in disguise with a cap and mask.
Winter’s answer? She doesn’t bother. “People don’t recognize me,” she said casually.
Winter explained,
"I don’t even wear masks. People don’t recognize me. I just like walking. So I just do it without any destination in mind. Or, I would sit somewhere alone. I go around alone like that."

The idol also mentioned she has a “secret spot” in Seoul—a bakery she refuses to name.
Despite her global fame, Winter’s low-key solo walks and quiet private life are surprising many netizens.
