aespa’s Winter Claps Back at Fan Complaining About Dear U. Bubble Absence

Being a K-pop idol is a great job but it also has a lot of demands. For instance, idols are expected to interact with their fans whenever they can. In the case of Winter, one particular fan tried to get the aespa member to interact with them on Dear U. Bubble. Interestingly, the idol had a classy clapback at the demanding fan.

Several SM Entertainment artists have recently expanded their presence on the Weverse platform, allowing for increased interaction with fans through the fan forum community, free of charge. However, despite this expansion, aespa continue to use the Dear. U Bubble service to communicate with their fans.

Dear. U Bubble is a subscription-based service where fans pay a monthly fee to receive exclusive messages from their favorite idols, as well as the opportunity to send replies. Given the paid nature of this service, fans often have expectations regarding the frequency of messages and interactions.

aespa Fan Tries To Get Winter To Return To Bubble

One fan, in particular, expressed their discontent on Weverse, sharing a screenshot of Winter’s last message on Bubble and urging her to send a new one. They persistently requested messages from a specific time frame between 5:32 pm and 5:54 pm. Despite the fan’s somewhat demanding tone, Winter responded to one of their posts at 6:15 pm, displaying remarkable professionalism and courtesy in her reply.

Winter‘s graceful handling of the situation deserves commendation. Despite the fan’s initial rudeness and insistence, Winter remained composed and responded in a polite manner. Her ability to handle such interactions with grace and professionalism reflects well on her as a star and demonstrates her dedication to maintaining a positive connection with her fans. Kudos to Winter for her exemplary response!

In related news, aespa and American footwear brand Crocs recently teamed up to launch its limited edition “Stomp Clogs”.
