aespa's Winter is facing criticism and dating rumors due to her alleged overuse of her cellphone.

On July 10, YouTuber Sojang posted a video under the title, "Controversy over aespa Winter's attitude during broadcast, scenes of her getting caught dating." The video in question calls out Winter's behavior on aespa's episode of MBC's 'Omniscient Interfering View' that aired on the 9th.

The YouTuber stated, "Yesterday, aespa made an appearance on a show that revealed their dorm. Among the members, Winter seemed unable to let go of her cellphone throughout the broadcast. Out of the 4 members, Winter was the only one who did that. Even though the show was edited a lot, there are so many scenes of Winter on her phone... Winter has been strangely obsessed with her phone. Unlike the other members who greeted their fans at the airport for their showcase in the US, she waved her hand and went on her phone."

He continued, "When Winter is on her phone, she doesn't scroll down to surf the web, but she keeps typing and contacting someone. Even when aespa were getting on stage, she could be scene opening the KakaoTalk app. It doesn't make sense to take your cellphone with you when you're filming on stage. You have to leave your cellphone behind to dance anyway, but it's not the right attitude for a celebrity to show off they're dating while filming a show. What's more shocking is that Winter, who didn't let go of her cellphone during filming, hasn't sent a 'bubble' message to her fans recently." 

Sojang further stated Winter was unable to let go of her cellphone when aespa gave their speech to the United Nations, saying, "Isn't this serious?"

Netizens commented, "If I were her manager, I'd tap her phone and make it drop on the floor," "I've never seen someone only touch their phone on a show so much," "She's not dating. It's just her attitude," "It's Winter's boyfriend, NCT's Jaehyun. Don't hurt each other, and date each other for a long time," and more.
