5th Generation Girl Group Member Goes Viral For Resembling aespa’s Winter
A fifth-generation rookie female idol recently went viral on Korean online communities for resembling aespa member Winter.
The idol in question is Kotoko from UNIS, the group that debuted through the popular SBS survival show Universe Ticket. The 16-year-old is currently under F&F Entertainment.
On March 8, KST, a netizen posted a few pictures of Kotoko on the popular community site, TheQoo, mentioning that since Universe Ticket, the soon-to-debut trainee has started to increasingly look like Winter. In the photos, Kotoko does appear to be rocking short, straight hair with long bangs, a look that was a signature of Winter during the “Illusion” and “Savage” era.
Kotoko also appears to have a similar face shape and nose, at least from certain angles.
In the newly-released concept photos of UNIS’s debut, her features, partially visible in a light-and-dark contrast, are all the more reminiscent of the aespa singer.
The post went viral almost immediately, attracting over 60,000 views and 400 comments at the time of writing. Netzines’ opinion, however, is divided.
- “They look the same.”
- “Uh…hm…”
- “….?”
- “The vibe is there, though?”
- “She looks like the male idol who sang ‘Polaroid Love.’ The fair one, who said talked about how something is unfair or whatever on Channel Fullmoon.”
- “As a muggle who can’t recognize idols’ faces, I understand what you mean, LOL. But if we keep trying to find similarities like this, all idols in the world would seem alike, LOL.”
- “Not at all.”
- “F*cking similar.”
- “Is this a promotional tactic? They look nothing alike.”
