In the sneak peek from the interview, Winter talks about the glaring differences between her as the idol Winter and the normal human being, Kim Minjung. While in her professional role, she is very organized and prepared ahead of time; off-duty, she is a lot more spontaneous.

Winter also reflected on her strict work ethic, admitting that she has a perfectionist mindset. The singer also emphasized the importance of practicing regularly, calling it the responsibility of her role as a singer.

I never skip vocal and dance lessons. I practice a lot on my own as well. It’s stressful, but when I feel inadequate, I tell myself that I shouldn’t show incompetence and keep going until I succeed.

— Winter

The idol added that though, as an artist, she might get many opportunities to perform, there might be many audience members for whom seeing aespa live could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. “So, we give our all as if every performance is our last. I never forget that I’m a singer,” Winter concluded.

While her statement reflected a strong sense of responsibility and dedication toward her job, it was not received very well by many netizens, who primarily complained about aespa lipsyncing during live performances.
