Can Fans Even Identify This Aespa Member?

aespa is facing a visual identity mix-up online after a recent photo sparked a major fan debate.

The controversy began when a photo of a female idol with bangs, posing with a cake, started circulating. Fans went back and forth over whether the idol was aespa’s Winter or Karina.

The debate got intense because Karina and Winter have been looking way more alike lately, especially when their styling matches.

Fans on theqoo blew up the comments with guesses.

Here’s what some fans said:

“I thought it was Karina.”

“The shape of the ears are totally Winter’s.”

“It’s Karina though.”

“I thought it was Karina.”

“The nose LOL.”

“This is just Winter. I thought it was Karina, but it’s Winter.”

Fans finally found out the photo was actually posted by Winter to celebrate her birthday.

The two look easy to tell apart when they have different hair colors or styles. But the similar makeup and hairstyle here had everyone doing doubletakes!
