Aespa’s Winter Faces Abuse At Her Hotel Following False Dating Rumors
A recent video showing fans screaming and cursing at aespa‘s Winter as she enters her hotel is gaining attention online. In the video, a large group of people can be seen holding out their phones to record as they shout curses at the aespa star.
Winter recently flew to Shanghai to attend the KMS Offline Fansign event aespa will hold on December 15. At first, it was unsure whether Winter would be able to attend due to some health issues. However, the star was spotted at the airport today, heading to Shanghai alongside Karina.
They quickly went through the Gimpo International Airport and boarded their plane. However, they were not welcomed so warmly as they headed inside their hotel after finally arriving in Shanghai.

A group of people were camped outside of their hotel, and in a video shared online, they could be heard aggressively shouting and screaming curses related to dating at Winter. As a result, fans have alleged that the curses have to do with her recent viral dating rumors.
Can SM Entertainment not let their artists go to these kind of places? Anti followed their car to the hotel parkade and even confidently cursed at Winter in Mandarin, English and Korean…my heart is broken. Cover your ears, Winter. Be well.

Fans are now also doubting SM Entertainment’s ability to protect their artists. Many have raised questions about how the group’s hotel information was leaked so easily.
Why is the hotel information leaked that even sasaeng fans were able to bravely follow them all the way to the basement parking and subject the artists to verbal insults?
We request an increase in security and protection @SMTOWNGLOBAL @aespa_official!

stalking aespa, cursing at them and disrespecting their personal space?? SM needs to take security more seriously, and honestly, continuing to schedule fansigns while the girls are already overworked is so unnecessary, especially when these deranged people can’t respect them

Others have expressed concern about the fansign event, which will be held in an open mall on December 15 and will undoubtedly attract a much bigger crowd.
their fansign being in an open mall tomorrow as well is so concerning because it might happen tenfold and their safety might be at risk. the wrong people might show up, i really hope winter is doing okay 🙁

i can’t imagine how the girls might be feeling now, these people have no shame. i hope the fansign goes smoothly and they’re back home as soon as possible, winter you deserve so much better
