Imagine being almost replaced by your own brother! That was nearly the case for our aespa<\/strong> queen, Winter<\/strong>. On the July 1 episode of Salon Drip 2, Winter spilled the tea on how her brother was originally scouted by SM Entertainment<\/strong>, not her.

She almost signed with another agency, but SM swooped in for one last audition \u2014 and this time, they saw the star power. She joined the label in 2017 and trained for about three and a half years before debuting with aespa.<\/p>
