“What do you even get out of this?”

Aespa‘s Winter was recently defended by fans against accusations that she had shaded bandmate Karina.
An online community post claiming “Winter Is Uncomfortable Because Of Karina’s First Pitch” gained attention, receiving over 139K views to date.
The post contained a private message screenshot, showing Winter expressing discomfort.
I tried fixing my position, and it has gotten a little better, but I am still feeling uncomfortable.
— Winter
The poster insinuated Winter’s discomfort was due to envy over Karina being invited to throw the first pitch at a baseball game, as Winter had expressed enthusiasm for the sport and a similar desire.
She is making it known how uncomfortable she is after Karina’s first pitch wasn’t canceled after Winter kept saying how she is a fan of Clean Sweep (baseball show) and how much she wanted to throw a first pitch because she is from Busan (famous for baseball). But too bad you aren’t a popular member… You should hide your emotions, because this isn’t becoming of your age.

This led to immediate backlash from fans and netizens, who stepped in with evidence to debunk the character assault on Winter.
I was going to Busan and there was a neck rest (on the train), right? Well the neck rest was super uncomfortable? I still don’t know how to position the neck rest for it to be comfortable. It’s always uncomfortable… The ride would have been better if the neck rest wasn’t there, but I had to ride with it since I couldn’t take it out. I tried fixing my position, and it has gotten a little better, but I am still feeling uncomfortable. This is hard.

Comment sections were ablaze with netizens condemning the falsehood.
- “I can’t believe you manipulated this (message).”
- “This person should be reported to SM for malicious comments. Don’t you know that you this doesn’t disappear even if you delete it? You will eventually be found out and persecuted. Everyone should report this person as this has been maliciously manipulated.”
- “I’m sick of people playing this down as telling. You guys are always doing too much, saying Winter is jealous of Karina and manipulating her words.”
- “This reeks of manipulation.”
- “You guys manipulated Winter’s words when the other member’s dating news went viral. I’m so sick of this.”
- “You are evil, cutting out the rest of her message so that people would criticize her. She never even said she wanted to throw the first keychain. What do you even get out of this?”
