aespa’s Winter Diagnosed With Shingles; To Sit Out Today’s Concert In Dallas

aespa’s Winter will not be joining the rest of the group at their concert in Dallas today.

On September 29 local time, SM Entertainment announced that Winter had been diagnosed with shingles and would therefore be unable to perform at aespa’s show in Dallas later that day.

The agency explained in English, “Winter had been experiencing health issues prior to the recent Miami show [on September 26]. However, determined to take the stage alongside the other members, she went ahead with the performance. As her condition did not sufficiently improve afterward, she visited a hospital following the Miami show for further examination and was diagnosed with shingles.”

SM Entertainment went on to share that even though Winter had remained “strongly committed” to performing at the Dallas show even after her diagnosis, it was decided that she would sit out the concert “following the medical team’s recommendation that her health and sufficient recovery must take priority.”

The agency’s full English announcement is as follows:

We would like to inform you that Winter will be unable to participate in aespa’s Dallas show, including the Hi-Bye and Send-Off.

Winter had been experiencing health issues prior to the recent Miami show. However, determined to take the stage alongside the other members, she went ahead with the performance. As her condition did not sufficiently improve afterward, she visited a hospital following the Miami show for further examination and was diagnosed with shingles.

Even after her diagnosis, Winter remained strongly committed to participating in the upcoming show and focused on her recovery up until the last possible moment, while continuing to monitor her condition to determine whether she would be able to perform. However, following the medical team’s recommendation that her health and sufficient recovery must take priority, the company and Winter carefully discussed the situation and ultimately decided that she will unfortunately sit out the Dallas show and take the necessary time to rest.

As a result, today’s show, Hi-Bye and Send-Off will proceed with three members: Karina, Giselle and Ningning.

Winter had been looking forward to meeting fans in Dallas and is deeply disappointed that she will not be able to join the show. She also feels very sorry to share this sudden news with all the fans who have been waiting to see her.

We sincerely ask for your understanding regarding this unexpected announcement. We will do our utmost to ensure that Winter receives sufficient rest and support her recovery so that she can return in good health and meet fans again.

Thank you, as always, for your continued love and support for aespa.

Wishing Winter the speediest of recoveries!

SM Entertainment Announces Strict Legal Action Against Malicious Posts And Illegal AI-Generated Images Targeting Lim Yoona And aespa’s Winter

SM Entertainment has shared official statements regarding the legal action they are taking to protect the rights of Lim Yoona and aespa’s Winter.

On September 28, SM Entertainment announced that they had filed criminal complaints against those who create illegal AI-generated images of Lim Yoona and spread false information based on such images. The agency also warned that it will take strong legal action against malicious posts targeting aespa’s Winter.

Read the agency’s statements below:

Regarding Lim Yoona

Hello, this is SM Entertainment.

We would like to provide an update regarding violations of the rights of our artist YoonA (Lim Yoona).

We have recently identified additional cases of illegal AI-generated images created by manipulating YoonA’s likeness without her consent, as well as false information based on such images, being indiscriminately created and circulated primarily on social media and online communities.

Through reports submitted by fans via “KWANGYA 119” and our ongoing monitoring, we are continuously collecting and securing evidence of such illegal posts. Based on this evidence, we have already filed criminal complaints and will respond firmly without leniency or settlement.

Not only can creating or posting illegally manipulated content using AI or other technologies without an artist’s consent constitute violations, but sharing, reposting, or spreading such images and posts may also constitute violations of the Information and Communications Network Act, including defamation, infringement of portrait rights, and editing and distribution of fabricated videos under the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes.

We strongly ask that you immediately stop creating or posting illegal manipulated content or unverified false information, as well as sharing or redistributing such content—including through reposts and quote posts on social media, articles containing such images, and uploads to various online communities. Please exercise particular caution to avoid becoming involved in any legal issues as a result of such activities.

We will continue to closely monitor such activities and take active legal action to protect the rights and reputation of our artists.

Thank you.

Regarding aespa’s Winter

Hello, this is SM Entertainment.

We hereby issue a stern warning that we will take strong legal action against malicious posts that continue to be circulated about our artist aespa’s Winter.

Currently, malicious posts and content targeting the artist—including the spread of false information, defamation, insults, malicious slander and personal attacks, and sexual harassment—continue to be posted across various platforms, including X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, YouTube, TheQoo, Instiz, DC Inside, Women’s Generation, and Nate Pann. Accordingly, following a thorough review by our legal counsel, we plan to proceed with legal action in stages, including filing criminal complaints.

In addition, we will respond without exception to illegal activities carried out on anonymous forums and social media platforms beyond those mentioned above. Regardless of whether the perpetrators are based in Korea or abroad, we will secure the necessary evidence to identify the authors of the posts and trace how the content was created and circulated, and will request investigations by the relevant authorities. We reiterate that those found to be responsible will face strong legal consequences under our zero-tolerance policy, without any leniency or settlement. We urge everyone to exercise particular caution and refrain from engaging in criminal activities.

Through reports submitted by fans via “KWANGYA 119” and our own monitoring, we are regularly collecting and securing evidence of all posts and content that infringe upon the rights of our artists. We will continue to strengthen our legal response to malicious posts in order to protect the rights and interests of our artists.

Thank you.
