Winter aespa is part of the SM Entertainment project girl group, Girls On Top: GOT The Beat. But netizens criticized his facial expressions when appearing with other members on stage.
GOT The Beat consists of a strong lineup including Girls' Generation's BoA, Tae Yeon and Hyoyeon, Red Velvet's Seulgi and Wendy, and Karina and Winter aespa.
On January 1, GOT The Beat released a special performance of the song "Step Back" at the online concert "SMTOWN LIVE 2022 SMCU EXPRESS@KWANGYA." This special girl group has also released their first track at 6 p.m. KST on January 3, 2022.
As soon as it was released, the video of GOT The Beat's appearance immediately became a hot topic for netizens. One of the topics that is widely discussed is Winter's facial expression when appearing with his seniors at the agency.
Netizens criticized Winter, "He only had this expression when I watched Girls On Top's performance video. Because the other members did so well, his expression became clearer."
Many netizens agreed and criticized Winter. This is a pity because in terms of vocals and talent, Winter is clearly able to compete with his seniors at SM Entertainment.
"Every time I see him performing, I feel like he can't even lip sync," commented netizens. "Aespa members always look expressionless all the time, so I think it's just their concept," added another netizen.
As expected, the seniority of idols cannot be ignored. Senior idols are still doing better. Their expressions and gazes are very good," said another. "Now you are criticizing him for facial expressions. When I saw their appearance, I didn't feel uncomfortable at all," concluded another.
"That's true, but who do you think are idols with the right facial expressions on stage? Idols are criticized for their excessive facial expressions, they are also criticized for their bad facial expressions, and I've never seen you guys praise idols for their facial expressions," defend netizens.
