The author shared their thoughts, “They probably saw that she’s the type who can pull off any hair, makeup and styling, and according to HYBE, she fits the role of having a core loyal fanbase similar to male idol members. Plus, Kim Chaewon was already somewhat known as an all-rounder, so it looks like they wanted to create a ‘Winter-like’ member from scratch.”
Below are some comments from Korean netizens:
- But seriously, looking at it this way, Winter’s concept digestion is insane. She can pull off cute and pure styles like Taeyeon, but also chic and fatal styles like Brown Eyed Girls’ Gain. No wonder female fans go crazy for her.
- But why is Kim Chaewon called an all-rounder? She can’t hit high notes, her only strength is her tone, and her dance lines show physical limitations, especially when compared to Kazuha. I mean, it’s not like she’s bad, but calling her an all-rounder seems like an overstatement to me.
- Oh, Winter really suits brown hair tones.
- I used to think highly of Kim Chaewon in the beginning, but she got stranger as time went on, so I moved on. Now, she’s being called “second Winter”? What a downfall… won’t last long.
