One instance people found was back in 2020 when the girls uploaded a video to celebrate Christmas. The girl group played a game, and the ultimate winner was Giselle.
According to the rules of the game, which they discussed initially, the winner will be the one to select and pick gifts for the other members.
However, despite losing the game, Winter chose not to consult Giselle and turned to Karina, telling the latter to let her pick the gifts.
Winter chose the ugliest sweater for Ningning. Everyone saw the sweater at the start of the game and agreed that it was the least appealing, and Ningning showed obvious discomfort over receiving the gift. Karina turned to comfort Ningning after this.
Winter chose the nicest shirt for herself, and Giselle — the winner — was left with another odd sweater.
Winter kept asking, "Didn't you choose nice clothes for everyone?"
Finally, when no one answered, Winter, turned to Giselle and asked, "Why aren't you answering?"
Shocked, Giselle revealed that she thought the clothes were beautiful and that they suited her very well.
Winter's attitude caused many to criticize her for being selfish, only wanting the best sweater for herself without thinking of how the other members would feel.

Then, when it was Giselle and Winter's turn, Winter told the former that she had two beautiful rabbit teeth.
People criticized Winter for taking advantage of people's shortcomings and deliberately embarrassing her members just to win a game. However, except for Winter, all the compliments the other members gave were heartfelt and positive.
