Photocards have become an increasingly staple part of the K-Pop industry, with some of the rarest and most desirable cards selling for ridiculously high prices. A lot of albums these days come with dozens or even hundreds of different possible photocards, though, and a lot of them look fairly similar with each idol needing to take so many selfies for each one.
However, there are still some photocards that really stand out among the rest, and recently, a new photocard of aespa‘s Winter went unexpectedly viral on Twitter among international fans!
The photocard is from aespa’s 2024 Season’s Greetings, and features Winter looking adorable in tiny twin braids with a playful expression.
At this time, the viral tweet sharing the photocard has over 31k retweets, 66k likes, and 1.9 million views.
