Minji (NewJeans): The beauty of the world, hated because she was just famous, asked to "usurp the throne" of her senior?

Although he has just debuted not long ago, Minji is now becoming a very popular name. With a shabby background, Minji from his trainee days was extremely popular and was recruited by the big SM.

NewJeans is one of the most popular girl groups in Korea. Despite the competition with famous seniors like BlackPink, aespa, IVE, ITZY, NewJeans still rose to number one on many Korean music charts.

According to the monthly brand value rankings published by the Korean Research Institute, Minji is the member with the best reputation in NewJeans. Minji's real name is Kim Minji was born on May 7, 2004 in Gangwon, South Korea. The female singer is known as a former JYP Entertainment and Source Music trainee when she was in her second year of high school.

Before debut, Minji was famous. The female idol said , "When I moved to Seoul, people started to know me. I often received business cards from entertainment agencies." In addition to the multi-talented, Minji has a background "brother and tycoon". According to Korean media, the female idol's father is a businessman. Minji also attended the prestigious Halim Multi-Arts School.

When NewJeans debuted, according to Korean media, the recent debut of the new girl group HYBE was a domestic and international explosion. The group resonated not only with the direction and fresh thinking from the management unit but also because of the special charm of each individual. Therefore, the stories surrounding the members' trainee lives were also noticed by the audience.

In particular, the story behind the selection process of the oldest sister NewJeans spread on online forums immediately caused a fever. Specifically, an employee of Source Music wrote on an anonymous online community that the female idol born in 2004 was recruited by SM Entertainment many times. Even CEO Lee Soo Man personally connected with her parents to make an offer.

According to this source, if he joins, Minji will be recruited not only as a trainee but also receive the privilege of debuting as the center of a group. However, after many recruitments, the 10X female idol still decided to refuse an invitation from one of Korea's leading entertainment units to continue to stay with Source Music.

Minji's decision to refuse SM to stay at Source Music surprised the audience. However, the current success of NewJeans has partly shown that Minji's choice is right.

The reason Minji was recruited by SM was because his appearance met SM's standards. After debuting with her first album called NewJeans, the 18-year-old female idol continuously became a topic of attention on forums thanks to her pure and natural beauty.

After training as a trainee, Minji has perfected herself and revealed more artistic talents. In addition to singing and dancing, the female idol and her teammates also entered the fashion field. In particular, Minji participated in composing the lyrics for "Ditto" - the winter hit that "stormed" all over the Korean and international digital music charts.

NewJeans swept across Korean music charts at the moment with the series of songs "Attention", "Hybe Boy" and "Cookies". Notably, the song "Attention" brought the group Realtime All-Kill in just 10 days since its debut. This proves the strong attraction of the new generation female idols.

However, fame often comes with notoriety when NewJeans has repeatedly become the focus of controversy. Including the time when the group got into a controversy because Minji wore a shirt with sensitive words. The inscription on Minji's shirt refers to men operating in the field of "call girls". In addition, the members of the group all wore crop tops that showed off their waists and posed sexy, making fans unhappy, it is known that most of the members debuted at the age of 14-16 years old.

On the side of Minji, even though she is known as one of the promising beauty goddesses of the 4th generation Kpop. However, the female idol also has a question of "cutlery". Allkpop reported the story of an anonymous netizen. This girl is a NewJeans fan, attended the group's recent fan meeting and witnessed another fan asking an uncharacteristic question to member Minji: "Where did you get your nose done?".

When suddenly accused of plastic surgery, Minji calmly replied to the above fan with an open attitude, "You (the one who asked the question) are already beautiful, there's no need for plastic surgery anymore. should touch the 'cutlery' on my face".

The online community gave a "rain" of praise for Minji's response to the ungrateful question. It can be seen that, when suddenly asked a difficult question, the beauty born in 2004 remained calm and gave the answer "both ways". With such an answer, Minji not only directly avoided the sensitive topic but also made the questioner feel satisfied when suddenly being praised.

Possessing a natural and cinematic beauty, Minji is also expected to break into acting and fashion. However, the audience hopes that she and the company will improve in terms of dress. There have been many times, Minji and NewJeans appeared with confusing clothes, drowning the visuals.

The culmination of controversy that made Minji hated was when the Korean media reported that Minji became the brand ambassador of Chanel. This news caused the female idol to be entangled in a series of mixed opinions. The NewJeans group member is considered too young to hold the role of ambassador of a high-end brand.

Besides, the French fashion house has not posted any information related to Minji's identity. This caused many people not to recognize her and think that the management unit was splurging money to buy the title for Minji. The fact that Minji's fans demanded to "usurp" Jennie also made the audience unhappy.

Holding the same role as ambassadors, the way the brand is for Jennie and Minji is put on the balance. Jennie is often given luxury gifts by the company, wears rare designs that have not been released and appears at famous shows. Meanwhile, the fact that Chanel only sent cakes and balloons to Minji was reacted.

Netizens pointed out that Chanel often sends product ambassadors from the brand. The image posted by the bakery is not enough to prove that the French brand has sent Minji. In addition, the design printed on the balloons and cakes is too sketchy. This makes high-end brands accused of discriminating between Minji and Jennie.

However, considering many factors, if the operation time is longer and with more experience, Minji will completely be able to explode like senior BLACKPINK. The female singer's immaturity is understandable when Minji has just debuted not long ago. In the coming time, the public believes that the oldest sister NewJeans will definitely make a difference.
