BIOGRAPHY
Kim Min-ji was reportedly approached by SM Entertainment about joining what became aespa, but she chose to sign with ADOR — the HYBE sub-label led by producer Min Hee-jin — a decision that shaped K-pop history. Her natural charisma, warm vocal tone, and instinctive camera presence made her NewJeans' face from day one. She debuted at 18 and has since become one of the most photographed young women in Korean fashion.
Skateboarding (she skates seriously, not just for aesthetics), analogue photography, and thrifting for vintage fashion.
