aespa's WINTER revealed a figure like the autumn goddess. Fashion magazine 'Harper's BAZAAR Korea' published the cover of the October issue shot with WINTER. The cover reflects WINTER's wish to 'try shooting with horses,' featuring her enjoying free time with two horses against the backdrop of a riding club in Gangwon-do. WINTER's heartfelt enjoyment of the shoot can be felt from the gravure. The shoot took place amidst the '2025 aespa LIVE TOUR' and the 6th mini-album 'Rich Man,' where she showcased her diverse charms from early morning until sunset at the stables and indoor and outdoor riding arenas. In a post-shoot interview, WINTER spoke about the burdens and pressures she felt while preparing for the new mini-album 'Rich Man,' saying, 'Rather than feeling burdened or pressured, I always want to express the song well and strive to be true to my role. There were times when I struggled to express the character of WINTER in a clear color. However, fans say that I can digest various concepts. From that moment, I realized, 'Ah, maybe this will become my strength.' WINTER also shared her thoughts on the success of 'Rich Man,' stating, 'I don't think we can completely ignore the charts. They are visible results. However, if we can feel satisfied on stage saying, 'Well done,' that feeling will surpass the numbers.' True to her description of being 'cool and beautiful,' WINTER expressed her philosophy on stage, saying, 'I believe that the artist shines the most when they look cool rather than just beautiful. And that coolness ultimately emanates from those who can wholeheartedly express music on stage.'
