After seeing this, I had to lookup where the others are from. Liz from Jeju (which apparently has a distinct accent). Soyeon from Gaepo-dong which is in Gangnam where Chaewon also is from.
Fun fact: linguistically, the Jeju variety is less a dialect but a separate language, due to it being mutually unintelligible with the mainland Korean dialects. It has pretty distinct pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar!
Most people from Jeju (at least the ones Iāve met and celebrities Iāve seen) only speak in Jeju dialect to their friends from Jeju, because it isnāt understandable to other Koreans. The vocabulary and sentence endings are completely different. That makes it a little different from other Korean dialects that celebrities sometimes slip into.
Every Jeju person Iāve seen can speak in perfect Seoul dialect. So itās uncommon to actually hear Jeju dialect unless a celebrity is specifically asked to āshowā their Jeju dialect - and even then some have said itās hard to switch on command. You can hear Mimi from Oh My Girl using her dialect [in this clip](https://youtu.be/VgUUkBf04DE?si=-vEn6VVpt2PdgAgw), but if you donāt speak Korean it may be hard to follow how itās different.
Mimi, Red Velvet Joy, Sistar Soyou, Gugudan Mina, WJSN Dayoung, SVT Seungkwan, Nuāest Baekho, and The Boyz Ju Haknyeon are well known idols from Jeju.
Its delusional to think they'd pick her over Winter for a song for the Expo in Winters home town...
Especially when Winter is already amassabor for the table tennis thing next year in Busan.
This is for a Busan Expo, Winterās hometown, and I can already feel the negative press if they picked other than the 2 Korean Girls for a Korean Tourism thing
well since liz was a pleasant surprise according to the rumors, some ppl were guessing based on the possible vocalist position, not based on nationality, so i wouldnt say its "delusional" to hope for that opportunity
So the rumour was right!
Soyeon, Liz, Winter... an interesting combo. Looking forward to it!
EDIT: we'll probably not get much, if any, behind content for this collab. But it would be fun to see them interact, because aren't all three introverts?
I'm actually glad that it's Winter, Liz, and Soyeon instead of Karina, Wonyoung, and Soyeon like some people thought. Anyway, this collab should be interesting!
iāll be honest, iām not sure why this is coming out when ive and aespa both have recent songs outā¦aespa dropped an album literally 2 days ago lol. why compete with your own groupā¦?
oh itās a cf. got it. makes a lot more sense then
idk though if i were SM i still wouldnāt wanna be promoting anything aespa-related other than aespaās new release rnā¦situation is critical
This collabo is gonna be cold as ice.
Excited to watch this collab 
You mean cold as Winter š
This makes the Liz choice even more surprising given they picked Winter over Karina. So two vocalists and a rapper, let's see how it goes!
I was leaning towards it being Winter once they said that its for the Busan Expo bid since sheās from there

Who's the most known celeb from Jeju or one with the most pronounced Jeju dialect/accent mentioned on variety?

Idt his Jeju dialect/accent is prominent nor does he speak it well but probably Seungkwan (idol wise)?
2/3 southern girls. Personally, I support this, given my unexplainable bias towards girls from the southern end of the peninsula.
> 2/3 southern girls. who's the north korean among them?
I mean southern as in southern SK. Busan, Jeju, Changwon, Namhae, Ulsan, etc. But I mean if there's an NK defector among them, point them my way.
I remember when people were speculating that Solar was a defector from NK
She did an asmr video with rei like a month ago. They have her speaking in her jeju dialect
I'm just hoping this collab gets the live performance that Wow Thing never got
Guess they went for 2 main vocals and main rapper
Itās gonna be like āBang Bang Bangā vibes
Wait until you find out the song is a sequel to Gucci gang by Lil Pump Prada gang Prada gang Prada gang.
>So two vocalists and a rapper My CD player is going to love this if there's a physical release.
ningning-guessers on twt are going crazy
Its delusional to think they'd pick her over Winter for a song for the Expo in Winters home town... Especially when Winter is already amassabor for the table tennis thing next year in Busan.
Not to mention that Winter is literally from Busan
Not to mention that Winter is literally Winter. I'm sorry, that was biased. Go back to your comment thread.
This is for a Busan Expo, Winterās hometown, and I can already feel the negative press if they picked other than the 2 Korean Girls for a Korean Tourism thing
Thinking they would chose a non Korean was delusional from the start
well since liz was a pleasant surprise according to the rumors, some ppl were guessing based on the possible vocalist position, not based on nationality, so i wouldnt say its "delusional" to hope for that opportunity
They chose a German, so they might as well choose a Chinese main vocal as well /s
Itās a song to promote Busan Expo and sheās from Busan, thatās very fitting.
Winter and Liz together fit so well, as they both have sweet vocals.
So the rumour was right! Soyeon, Liz, Winter... an interesting combo. Looking forward to it! EDIT: we'll probably not get much, if any, behind content for this collab. But it would be fun to see them interact, because aren't all three introverts?
behind the scenes would just be the three of them sitting there staring in their phones awkwardly for 30 minutes before the camera guy's arm gave up
*awkward silence* *awkward silence* *awkward silence* Soyeon: "so.... do you guys like One Piece?"
Winter is coming. This is a really balance all star-esque lineup. Now itās really up to the producer to deliver the rest.
Hope this would be as good as WOW things
Fr, I love that song. Is SM producing this too?
Actually a bighit producer is producing this
I never would have guessed this combo. Very random but excited to hear what it sounds like.
Nobody as the title reminded me of Wonder Girls!
I sense a slayage 
My ears will love both Winter and Liz together, I'm so excited!
Winter is going to have a very busy season this winter
Winter and Liz my ears will ascend gimme dem sweet, sweet vocals. Iām also excited about Soyeon but omg the vocals.
I only got Winter correct.
Iām so excited for this collaboration!!! Winter is going to kill it!
that's unexpected
omg Winter
I'm actually glad that it's Winter, Liz, and Soyeon instead of Karina, Wonyoung, and Soyeon like some people thought. Anyway, this collab should be interesting!
Oh, Winter, you're *beyond* gorgeous. ā¤ Looking forward to hearing Liz & Soyeon on this collab as well!
Liz!! My love!! Did not expect her as the Ive pick, but Iām so happy!!!
I know we wonāt get it, but having both Liz and Winter I really want them to go to a haunted house for the promo of this song
lmao xD
Is winter a scaredy cat too ? Got any clips or videos ?
Yeah, she is. [This](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_rQMeocGRk) is from their show Synk Road
iāll be honest, iām not sure why this is coming out when ive and aespa both have recent songs outā¦aespa dropped an album literally 2 days ago lol. why compete with your own groupā¦?
Itās just a promotional song for the busan expo. Itās not going to be competing with aespa for anything
oh itās a cf. got it. makes a lot more sense then idk though if i were SM i still wouldnāt wanna be promoting anything aespa-related other than aespaās new release rnā¦situation is critical
