Minji of New Jeans mentioned her past as a trainee. Accordingly, the remarks made by ADOR's CEO Min Hee-jin at a press conference are attracting interest.

On the 5th, Minji chatted with fans through her fan communication platform 'Phoning'.

Minji talked about her life as a trainee and said, "I wasn't pretty when I was a trainee." She then revealed her affection for her fans, saying, "I do feel like I've improved (visually). The bunnies always see me in the best way."

Previously, ADOR's CEO Min Hee-jin explained the process of selecting trainees at an emergency press conference held on the 25th of last month, saying, "Minji was the only trainee I could select. Minji was very young when we did the joint project so I thought she could improve through practice."

Recalling Minji's childhood, she praised Minji, saying, "Young Minji was so pretty. She was even prettier than she is now. So I knew I could do something with her for sure."

Currently, CEO Min Hee-jin has been in conflict with ADOR's parent company, HYBE, for two weeks. HYBE reported that CEO Min Hee-jin attempted to usurp management rights and that they had secured evidence. Min Hee-jin's side refuted this by saying, "There has never been an attempt to usurp management rights."

Meanwhile, Minji, who celebrated her 20th birthday today, revealed her daily life with the New Jeans members. In addition, New Jeans plans to make a comeback with the new double single 'How Sweet' on the 24th.
