aespa member Winter attended a New York event, and an unexpected figure became a topic of conversation. It was the "handsome bodyguard" who was standing behind her.
Winter attended the Ralph Lauren spring 2026 women's collection in New York on the 11th (local time) as a brand ambassador. That day she showcased classic charm by pairing a silk dress with a corset belt, added a chic touch with a satin crossbody chain, and displayed an elegant presence.
But something else also grabbed attention at the scene. After the show, on the way out, the striking appearance of the foreign bodyguard who was behind Winter was captured. Standing 188 cm tall and dressed in a suit, he drew global K-pop fans' eyes as he blocked fans' hands and cleared a path.
When interest exploded, he revealed his identity himself. His name is Nathan Overland. Through TikTok he said, "My followers recently increased rapidly. I'm surprised and grateful," and explained, "Actually, I'm not Winter's personal bodyguard. I'm a model hired by Ralph Lauren." He added, "It was the first time in my life seeing Winter; it was a precious time and an honor."
He said he has been active with a modeling agency for two years and has even briefly tried acting. While drawing a line by saying, "I don't plan to keep working as a bodyguard," his social media follower count has exploded due to the unexpected attention.
Meanwhile, aespa, the group to which Winter belongs, performed on ABC's flagship morning show Good Morning America on the 12th (local time), and then participated in the recording of Fox TV's popular talk show The Jennifer Hudson Show, continuing their global activities.
