first one that came to my mind for the newer gens is wonyoung! i agree, there isn’t much of an emphasis on character types today however, wonyoung or maybe ive as a whole, have leaned into the persona a few times! most recently w a song on their ep called ‘ice queen’ (absoLUTE banger of a track btw)
As someone who started following Kpop mid-4th gen, I haven't really experienced idol personality archetypes very much at all. Also, I definitely disagree with people considering Mina as an ice princess. She doesn't come off cold at all. She is quiet, but in a shy way, not in a standoffish way.
We have an "Ice princess" in Dreamcatcher in the form of Handong (and she's very proud of the title, thank you very much), she has the beauty and elegance DOWN, as well as confidence, but she can still be goofy and funny WHILE being those other things, and she has great stage presence (all of Dreamcatcher are BEASTS on stage), so she's not lacking in any way, and she has a beautiful warm voice and she's a good dancer.
As a my, I genuinely don't get the winter example. She has more of a "puppy" image and is generally sweet. I don't think any of the girls could classify as an ice princess but if I had to choose one then maybe Ningning since she's a little sassy (iykyk lol) but even then she doesn't take herself that seriously. I guess if you see things purely based off of visuals then maybe you could say Winter. In my head an ice princess is someone who's blunt / quiet, like they only speak when they feel like something has to be said ykwim? For me, ice princess is more in the attitude than the face. In 4th / 5th gen I haven't really seen someone like that. I think it's because of the overall acceptance of society that's come to realize that being introverted / having a rbf is a thing.
They call it ice Princess I call it “the boring one with no talent other than singing people along with the fake mystery when in actuality they’re just boring”…. It’s the reason I never gave Tayeon a chance. Now that I’ve seen her interact with one of my games and hearing them say she was talented In listened and actually liked her. I also have no interest in Irene, Krystal or anyone mentioned here. The only one course to this I’ve been interested in is Wonyoung because she actually has a personality under her naturally cold looking demeanor. But when she talks she’s actually interesting.
I forgot this persona existed
I think tripleS yooyeon is the closest we have to this persona in 5th gen
But I think that's just how she acts naturally, not forced

I don't think qonyoung is an ice princess at all, I think she just embody's the princess archetype, she's never been as cold as Irene or krytel

i see the princess side for mina but not so much the ice. maybe it's because if twice's friendly aura. she just seems cute and shy idk
KEP1ER COMEBACK NOVEMBER 1st!!!!! Please tune in 💖💜💖💜
Jessica is the OG ice princess! People who think Mina is one must not be fans... She's too nice!
