The SAVAGE singers attended the year-end SBS Network music festival, displaying their one-of-a-kind fashion sense and garnering compliments from fans and netizens. Each member of the girl group showcased their unique style, proving themselves one of the most stylish K-pop girl groups in the industry.

aespa made their musical comeback with their 4th mini album Drama and gave an astonishing performance of the titular tune Drama at the year-end music festival. Along with their hit title track, they covered the highly popular song Mirotic by 2nd generation boy group TVXQ, who debuted under SM Entertainment.

Ahead of their performance, the red carpet incident caught everyone's attention as a man tried to go near the MY WORLD singers. This could have led to a dangerous situation, but security was quick to intervene, saving Winter.

Looking at the clips shared on social media, fans highlighted that the man still stood and photographed Winter. Fans were concerned about her safety and requested that SM Entertainment, the girl group's label, take measures to ensure the safety of the members with the utmost protection.


Previously, the aespa member received death threats, which raised concern among fans. In August, an online post anonymously spread death threats against the 22-year-old South Korean singer. Although the post was quickly deleted, fans were extremely worried about her safety.

The management agency reassured fans through an official statement, saying they were doing their best to protect their artists. SM Entertainment had filed a complaint against the author of the online post to carry out an investigation against the person.

The 2023 SBS Gayo Daejeon incident has created anxiety among the fans regarding the safety of Winter as well as other aespa members. They have demanded the agency investigate this situation more deeply.
