Synthesis:
Winter is undeniably a skilled vocalist. She is good enough for a SM Main vocalist, however SM needs to give the 5th octave notes to NingNing cuz Winter is was too shrill in ther 5th octave, leading her voice to be unpleasant when singing C5 and upwards. She is improving nowadays and is currently top2 in Aespa.
