An interview followed the photoshoot. Aespa, which delivered an intense flavor akin to 'oil' with their single 'Dirty Work', was asked about the first impression of the song. Winter described it as "the feeling of tanning hot and sticky under the blazing sun," adding that it reminded her of the movie 'Mad Max: Fury Road'.

When asked about what she is most looking forward to ahead of their third world tour '2025 aespa LIVE TOUR – SYNK: aeXIS LINE -', she replied, "I'm excited because it will be a concert with new songs. We have gained experience from the previous two world tour performances, and I believe the more grown-up Aespa will be able to present a seasoned and high-level stage."

When asked if her strong and resilient attitude is innate, Winter said, "I tried to become strong a little earlier than others," adding, "The only person who can protect me is myself."

When asked what ability she would want if she could gain one, she said, "The ability to time travel," explaining, "If I could travel through time and space, I would go to the past. I don't want to change anything or have regrets, but I would like to fill each day of the past with happier and more enjoyable moments. Since I can't time travel, I cherish the present more."

Winter's digital cover, moving cover, fashion film, and video interview will be exclusively released on Elle's website and social media channels. The full story of the photoshoot and the interview will also be published in the September issue of Elle.
