“Disgusting” Viral Post About aespa Winter’s Alleged Surgery Scar Draws Massive Criticism
A recent post on the popular Korean forum Pann, discussing aespa‘s Winter and her alleged surgery scar, has sparked widespread backlash and even been labelled as “disgusting” by some.
The original poster (OP) claimed that Winter’s scar from an underarm pneumothorax surgery was visible during performances and questioned why it wasn’t concealed. The post quickly gained traction, but not for the reasons the OP might have hoped.
Couldn’t they at least cover up the scar from her underarm pneumothorax surgery…? It’s a surgical incision, so if it gets rubbed, it would hurt like hell and sting.

However, many netizens were quick to accuse the OP of being an attention-seeker rather than a genuine fan. The title of the post, which focused on Winter’s “surgery scar,” led many to believe that the OP was more interested in drawing attention to the scar than in expressing genuine concern.
Commenters criticized the OP, suggesting that the post was designed to bait people into a discussion that could harm Winter’s reputation. One user pointed out that if the OP was truly worried, they wouldn’t be adding fuel to the fire on a forum already filled with negative comments about Winter. Others noted that the surgery likely left an inevitable scar, and questioning it in this way seemed disingenuous.
The consensus among netizens was that the post was an unnecessary attempt to create drama.
- “An idol’s underarm surgery scar is just the kind of bait that attracts attention-seekers. If you’re so worried, do you really want to feed the trolls on a platform where Winter always gets bashed like crazy…?”
- “You must be someone pretending to be a fan. People suggested that you change the title to ‘pneumothorax surgery scar,’ but you didn’t. And the first comment was clearly for attention, yet you didn’t delete it. If she got a thoracoscopy, it’s inevitable to have a scar in that area. The surgery you’re so obviously trying to draw attention to isn’t even in that area. How can you do this to someone who had surgery because they were in pain? I bet you’re happy with all the views you’re getting.”
- “What incision? It was an endoscopy insertion site. You’re pretending to be concerned, but it’s clear you’re just trying to start drama. So creepy.”
- “It’s a scar from a wedge resection for pneumothorax. The title alone makes it obvious you’re seeking attention, so don’t upvote the original poster’s comment. OP seems like the type to edit the OG comment to something nasty once it becomes the top comment.”
- “She has already shown the scar on stage several times since the surgery, and fans haven’t really brought it up. So why bring it up now? If you’re really concerned, just ignore it.”
- “Just report and block this post. It’s disgusting to try and draw attention to a sensitive surgery scar. After pneumothorax surgery, you just need to be cautious for a few weeks, and after that, you can do intense exercise. Just because someone you know couldn’t run for half a year does not mean everyone else goes through the same complication. Winter, too, struggled during some of the rehearsals right after the comeback, and she couldn’t stay on stage until the end for some of the music show performances.”
