aespa’s Winter revealed her past aspirations.
On August 17th, a video with aespa Winter’s appearance was uploaded to the YouTube channel ‘Cho Hyun Ah’s Thursday Night’.
Cho Hyun Ah asked, “What instruments did you learn when you were young?” Winter honestly revealed, “I learned the violin for a day. I learned it for a day, but I had such severe muscle pain. I held it for too long. So I didn’t go the next day.”
Cho Hyun Ah remarked, “You give up quickly. How far did you learn the piano? Did you reach Czerny No. 30?” Curious, she asked Winter, who replied, “I don’t know. I did forget, but I reached that far.” To this, Cho Hyun Ah inquired, “Could you play with both hands?” Winter confirmed, “Of course. I also participated in competitions. When I was in elementary school. I think I got second place then,” she said, eliciting surprise.
Cho Hyun Ah then asked, “What competition was it? Was it a nationwide competition?” Winter replied, “Yes, it was. I think when I was in first grade of elementary school. I was good at playing the piano back then. I thought I had talent. When I was in kindergarten, I sang songs and played the accompaniment myself,” she revealed.
Continuing the conversation, when Cho Hyun Ah mentioned “prodigy,” Winter responded, “I thought so too. But as I grew older, there were kids who were also really good. So, I got discouraged and stopped.”
Upon hearing this, Cho Hyun Ah asked, “Are there many musicians in your family?” Winter replied, “None at all. Our family is somewhat of a military family. Since we come from a military background, I even considered becoming a soldier, but I still loved singing too much,” explaining the reason for choosing to be an idol.
Cho Hyun Ah then asked, “Did you have any other dreams?” Winter answered, “I had quite a few. I wanted to do community service and be a teacher. A elementary school teacher. Isn’t it healing to see children? I really liked that too.”
