aespa’s Winter recently stole the spotlight at the Ralph Lauren Spring 2026 Women’s Collection event in New York but it wasn’t just her elegance that caught attention. Photos and videos of a strikingly handsome foreign “bodyguard” walking behind her quickly went viral among K-pop fans worldwide.
Winter, who attended the show as a brand ambassador, wore a Ralph Lauren 2025 Fall silk dress paired with a corset belt and a satin crossbody chain, exuding a classic yet modern allure. Her graceful presence was undeniable, but the tall, suited man escorting her to her car soon became the unexpected center of online buzz.
Standing at 188 cm, the man was seen clearing the path for Winter and shielding her from overeager fans, sparking widespread speculation about his identity. Some fans jokingly declared him the “most handsome bodyguard ever,” leading to countless discussions across social media platforms.
Shortly after the frenzy, the man himself clarified the situation on TikTok. His name is Nathan Overland, and he revealed that he was not Winter’s private security guard but rather a model hired by Ralph Lauren. “I recently escorted Winter, and my social media followers skyrocketed overnight. Thank you for the warm attention,” he said. “But to clarify, I’m not her bodyguard. I’ve been working with a modeling agency for two years and have done a bit of acting as well.”
He added that this was the first time he had ever met Winter and called the moment “an honor” and “a truly special experience.”
Meanwhile, aespa continues their U.S. promotions, having appeared on Good Morning America on September 12 and recording an upcoming segment for the Jennifer Hudson Show.
