Though her stunning visuals made waves online, many felt that her image was too mature for NewJeans as she would have been the oldest member.

Additionally, she would have been the only Japanese member, thus changing the all-Korean member dynamic of the group.

Netizens left comments praising her beauty, debating whether or not her “vibe” was right for the group.

  • “They were originally going to have six members, but Min Hee Jin supposedly asked a shaman and was told one member had bad fortune, so they cut it down to five. LOL”
  • “She’s gorgeous, but compared to the NewJeans members, she looks way more mature.”
  • “She’s really stunning, but she doesn’t give off that NewJeans vibe. She’s beautiful, but she just doesn’t have that unique NewJeans feel.”
