"Wow, she looks better when she doesn't wear makeup…"

Aespa's Winter always gets attention for how pretty she looks, but the star has become a hot topic after her different looks when she left Korea and arrived in France for an upcoming schedule.

The members of aespa left Korea on May 22 (KST) to go to France for the Cannes Film Festival.

Unsurprisingly, all of the members got a lot of attention for their strange and beautiful looks that fit their personalities. Winter was no different.

She wore a pair of blue jeans and a black crop top, and she looked beautiful.

Still, Winter made sure to show friends and the media some love with a face heart while looking cool, calm, and collected.

Still, Winter looked like a beauty getting ready to walk the catwalk with her unreal looks and perfect outfit.

Still, Winter was a big deal because of how strangely she changed when the group arrived in France.

Winter looked perfect when she left Korea, and she looked just as beautiful when she arrived without any makeup and in a much more casual outfit that was much better for traveling.

Even though the star was wearing a mask, her natural beauty shone through, and she looked more innocent and younger.

Since it takes a long time to get from Korea to France, it wasn't strange that Winter wanted to take a break. She looked so cute as she closed her eyes to rest.

When the pictures came out and Korean netizens looked at them side by side, they couldn't believe how different Winter looked.

Even though the star looked great in Korea, there was something sweet and innocent about Winter when she didn't have any makeup on.

"Wow, she looks better when she's not wearing makeup."
"Oh, LOL, I can relate to that picture of her sitting in a chair."
"So cute, LOL."'
"She signed in as Minjung, LOL."
"HAHA, I thought she was Taeyeon. I always hear somebody say that."

Winter always gets attention for how unreal she looks, but the star is just as pretty when she doesn't wear any makeup.

NewJeans' Minji touched fans' hearts with a handwritten letter on her birthday — even while the group is currently unable to promote due to legal issues.

On May 7, Minji celebrated her birthday by sharing a heartfelt message on the group’s personal SNS account, which the members opened themselves to stay connected with fans.

Minji began her letter with honesty, writing, “I think I’m living a busier life than I expected. When I finally looked up, it was already May, and it was my birthday.”

She admitted that she had a lot she wanted to say, but her thoughts felt “messy.” Still, her message to fans was clear, “I just hope that I, our members, and Bunnies can all be happy. Happiness is the biggest goal in my life.”

Minji then opened up about her personal journey and struggles, saying, “I sometimes think that running toward my happiness by doing what I love might look foolish to others. But isn’t giving up your happiness now for the sake of a future that might not even come… too harsh on yourself?”

Despite everything, she ended on a hopeful note, “I really miss the times when we shared our feelings through the good music we made together. But I always look forward to what’s ahead."

She added, "We didn’t stop here, and we’re not going to stop! It might look like we’re standing still, but I believe we’re growing deeper.”

Her message comes during a difficult time for NewJeans. The group announced last year that they were cutting ties with ADOR, their original agency, after trust was broken. They later began working independently under the new name ‘NJZ’.

However, ADOR responded with legal action — claiming the exclusive contract with NewJeans was still valid and asking the court to stop the group from promoting or signing deals.

The court sided with ADOR and granted an injunction, forcing NewJeans to pause their activities. Their appeal was rejected, and they’ve now filed a second appeal.

Through it all, Minji’s message proves one thing — even when forced to stop, NewJeans' hearts are still moving forward.
