aespa’s Bodyguard Called Out For Failing To Protect The Girls

He left Winter behind.

aespa is currently in Japan for music show performances. In between appearances, the girls have been roaming the streets in their leisure time. Fans have spotted them around Tokyo, enjoying shopping and strolls.

A video of Winter and Karina with a staff member and a bodyguard has gone viral on X. Fans called out their bodyguard for failing to do their job. Typically, bodyguards will walk behind the entire party. The bodyguard was seen leaving Winter behind as he strolled behind Karina and a female staff member. Winter was on her phone, not paying attention to where she was going.

It’s the first time I’m seeing a bodyguard strolling in the middle of the party, while leaving the artist behind. If people who didn’t know who he was watched this, they’d think he’s a male manager. He’s totally having it easy, getting paid to sightsee overseas while not doing his job.

Other fans voiced similar concerns.

How can he be considered a bodyguard? I’d do a better job.

Others defended the bodyguard, claiming that it was not a dangerous situation.

It’s not a situation where they had to be heavily guarded, there’s no need to curse him out without mosaicing his face over a 10 second video. SM Entertainment is not some small company either, they’ll take care of things on their own.
