aespa member Winter was recently named the new face of THIS brand, but Koean netizens are unsure how much she suits their image.

As they enter their fourth year in the K-pop industry, the members of aespa are branching out from group work to solo endeavors. Ningning was recently named the global brand ambassador for Versace, while Karina is the official spokesperson for the alcoholic beverage Kloud Krush.

Now, Winter is the next member to bag a deal with a brand.

aespa Winter Named New Model for Toreta

On April 1, 2024, Coca-Cola Korea announced Winter as the new face of the isotonic drink Toreta.

Coca-Cola chose her as a model because Winter's brand image, known for her pure, crystal-clear voice and invigorating charm, aligned perfectly with the refreshing appeal of Toreta, an iconic electrolyte drink. This decision was made considering her versatile charm and the brand's image.

Many disagreed with the OP, stating that Winter suits Toreta's brand. As Toreta is known as a drink that is light, refreshing, and healthy, it perfectly complements the aespa member's pure image.
