In particular, the girls had the honor of taking home three trophies.

The girls took home the bonsang, best artist award, and best music video award!

However, during their acceptance speech, fans spotted something a bit off.

They noticed that a very different “Winter” was standing next to the members as Karina gave the speech.

this could go two ways tbh, either the doyoung winter siblings agenda or doyoung is naevis agenda

Turns out, NCT 127‘s Doyoung, who was standing behind them, was also caught on screen with the girls!

After the camera panned back out, fans could see Winter was still there.

Regardless, congrats once again to the girls!
