aespa member Winter surprised viewers with her honest and unexpected talk about her drinking habits.
Winter appeared with fellow aespa member Karina on the July 5 broadcast of JTBC’s “Please Take Care of My Refrigerator since 2014”.
During the episode, the cast looked through their refrigerator and found different kinds of alcohol, including wine, makgeolli, soju, and champagne.
Winter explained, “I cannot drink alcohol very well, but I drink it with meals like a small drink on the side.”
The studio became more curious when an opened bottle of soju was found. Winter looked shy and said, “The writer clearly said they would put in a new one”.
When asked how many days it takes her to finish one bottle, Winter pointed at the remaining amount and said, “That is what I drank in one day”.
Karina then showed concern and asked, “Are you okay?” while Choi Hyun Seok made the cast laugh by saying, “The important thing is that she drank it while eating alone”.
Winter also drew attention with her food taste. After pumpkin leaves were found in the refrigerator, she admitted that she likes traditional and old fashioned Korean dishes.
She shared, “I boil pumpkin leaves and eat them with rice and gang doenjang. I have a bit of a grandmother like taste, so I like rich doenjang, cheonggukjang, kongbiji, and kongguksu”.
When asked what she usually eats while drinking alone, Winter answered, “Something like kimchi…” Kim Poong reacted in surprise and said, “Soju with kimchi? Soju with kimchi is the real thing”.
The biggest reaction came when Choi Hyun Seok asked if she pours her drink into a glass. Kim Sung Joo jokingly scolded him and said, “Would an idol really drink straight from the bottle?” However, Winter casually replied, “But when you drink alone, do you always pour it into a glass?”
Her unexpected answer brought laughter and surprise to the studio. Winter’s honest confession showed a new side of her and became one of the most talked about moments from the episode.
