Between Wonyoung, Winter, and Karina, who will be Korea's 4th gen it girl?

  • Moderator

    Approved the thread.
  • Wonyoung is already 4th gen's it girl. before each and every member of IVE got popular it was the power of Wonyoung and Yujin to get nice sales. K-forums are filled with Wonyoung praises and she is definitely the most recognized among all the age groups.

  • Wonyoung is far ahead in popularity than any other 4th gen gg member in Korea.

  • I hope it's Winter.


    Winter is coming.

  • I’m surprised people are saying Karina or Wonyoung I genuinely think it will be Winter I think her popularity in Korea is actually scary Koreans watch her everything move good and bad everything she does is magnified they love her they hate her they love her it’s ongoing lol I’ve never seen anything like it so sudden, considering Wonyoung was already known it’s impressive Winter is this popular in a short time

  • Karina and Winter actually topped BR(Winter did it for 2 months straight) and Wonyoung didn't despite having a hit. So....

  • Wonyoung is already an it girl so obviously her.


    The real question is if any aespa member will become one, which one will be. I guess Karina.

  • Won young surpasses them both

  • Karina and wonyoung have the best chance to be the next it girl. Itzy yuna isn't far behind. Out of the box pick is kepler's xiaoting.

    Why do people doubt Winter so much? Karina got two extra pre debut teasers, solo performances with Kai and Taemin, and was the only aespa member featured in that Seoul tourism thing yet Winter with much less exposure is ahead of her in searches and brand reputation. Just give Winter an OST, preferably of a hit drama, and watch her become Taeyeon 2.0

  • Who "will be"? It's already been Jang Wonyoung.

    That brand ranking isn't real. How many times is it going to be proven that the guy who puts it up is just a rando on the internet with no more validity that that TC. Candler person who makes the list of "most beautiful people" every year.

  • So many people saying wonyoung but the real take is winter. People acting like wonyoung is a rookie but she's been promoting for over 2 years with survival show + Izone promos.


    Winter in one year has been getting the most views on YouTube, it's not even close compared to the other two. Has already proven to have the talent to be successful as a solo project In the future. People here who don't understand Korean sleep on Winter singing but her accent/tone went viral in Korea with her covers being compared to the next IU/Taeyeon. The other two may always popular as visuals but for It girl just having visuals has never been enough , Winter has the full package aka she can release music and be successful as a solo act.

  • Sorry to break it to you all but it’s winwin, Karina isn’t doing bad but winter is so popular and Wonyoung has been around for years yet winter is only a year old and has so much support mate all her videos go viral it’s freaky oO)

    Exactly. Winter is already catching up to WY with ZERO solo promotions. Once SM gives her a proper OST it's over for everyone.

  • I'm glad winterbelles standing up for Winta

  • Lmao not people thinking Winter is any close to Wonyoung when the latter have far more brand deals, magazine photoshoots and even haters

  • I can see wonyoung being like Jennie in terms of fashion/ selling out stuff etc. she has the model like height and visual which is really favored by big brands plus she has the same fashionista trendsetter image.


    Winter seems to be like taeyeon in my mind. The pretty visual, sweet voice, lovely image type. I feel she could be the first love type image. I think she would do very well with solo music down the line. I remember she sang an in song on knowing bros and everyone fell for her voice,


    Karina is the glamour out type. Otherworldly look, similar to seolhyun in my mind. She has the great figure, sweet personality, and charming image. I think she would do stuff like cf and maybe even acting?

  • Lmao not people thinking Winter is any close to Wonyoung when the latter have far more brand deals, magazine photoshoots and even haters

    Because of solo push. Winter latest askfm fake rumor comes from her haters even madeup scandals comes up because her haters. Is wonyoung ever get fake rumor as big as her? I don't think so. Their hater level aren't comparable.

    Also, compare their views and then we talk

  • Lmao not people thinking Winter is any close to Wonyoung when the latter have far more brand deals, magazine photoshoots and even haters

    Wonyoung been in the industry for way longer, people acting like shes some rookie because she re-debut with IVE. Shes been pushed since IZONE which is 4 years ago now. Winter isn't even being promoted by SM to do solo work yet with cf's/brands, As a group SM giving Aespa the bare minimum in promotions on variety shows etc while Wonyoung has been pushed for variety/brands over 3 years now. You can look ur self Winter clips on Knowing Bro went Viral in Korea her name 윈터, Int fans have no idea honestly.


    We can look back in 3rd gen, how many pretty idols out there. Being beautiful doesn't make a "It girl of Gen" else popular faces like Twice Mina/tzuyu etc would be in the convo for 3rd gen. Irene shot a ton of Cfs/solo brand deals yet majority would say Jennie is the overall Gen 3 It girl in Korea. It's because she shot cfs but had talent for solo music/variety. Out of the three options it's not even close when it comes to potential for solo music releases, and in Variety Winter is the most popular in Korea with a lot less chances than Wonyoung. Being a pretty face no doubt Wonyoung will sale but for IT girl just having photoshots isn't enough, No1 argues Chuu as potential gen 4 It girl meanwhile the girl is doing ALOT more CFs. Wonyoung has already gained a bad rep for her singing(Twice flashbacks of last year vibes) while Winter has been praised alot in Korea for potential solo releases in the future(People literally calling her the next IU/Taeyeon.)

    If we compare their views by this logic then Lisa is the it girl, not Jennie, and even Leeseo would be more popular than Wonyoung.

    Views only show who's got the most fans or went viral, not the ones who are favored by brands and gp like it girls.

    And yes Wonyoung have many haters since she got number 1 in pd as a 14 years old, and it became bigger each year. There's literally a whole korean channel on youtube with her as the main target. She won't flip her hair like the others, she dress differently, she doesnt bow, her makeup is weird, she overdoes her face expression - everything is used as ammo against her.

  • Why do people doubt Winter so much?

    Overrated. Her face is not memorable. She depends too much on styling to look good. None of the aespa girls have expressions but she is like robot. She is just fad for now. People forget these types of girls quickly. Like Tzuyu. Does anyone even mentions her anymore? Bland looking face and boring personalities only take you thus far. Karina and wonyoung have visuals, personality, aura of it girl. Winter is overrated.

    Look at the comments section and majority are koreans. Please type winter korean name in youtube and then you will realize her popularity.


    Delusional . That hater korean channel is not all about wonyoung btw. That channel also consist of winter and karina videos if you looked deeply. That channel targeted all the popular girls in korea.


    Wonyoung korea haters aren't as dedicated as winter and karina. Just look how many big fake scandal made by them. WY scandal doesn't even reached major korean portal multiple times like winter. What does it tell you?

  • Receipts or it didn't happen, your brand reputation rankings and mass streaming fancams arent any of these btw

    You are clearly too deep into delusion if you think Winter is the it girl in Korea and not Wonyoung. Everyone and their moms know Wonyoung is 4th gen's Jennie and solidified as it girl but you and other delusional aespa stans. Winter's "potential" is far from being a fact. Just because you have potential of farting right now doesnt mean you did.

    Wonyoung is far from being eclipsed anywhere.

    Even less now that her international popularity got bigger with Ive and she's about to sign more deals with international brands like Monsta X with half or less of her popularity did.

    And if anything she got more praised for her vocals than her Izone days now that she ditched the forced high pitched voice.

    Delusional.
