Netizens have mixed opinions about the photos.
NJZ (NewJeans) member Minji‘s supposed private Instagram account has been leaked online.

On April 1, KST, an account on X (former Twitter) posted some previously unseen photos of Minji, seemingly taken from her private Instagram account. The account was initially public, but it went private as the news of the leak spread quickly.

The account featured some very casual images, such as landscape shots, random memes, mirror selfies, and a supposed group photo of all the NJZ members (with only their lower bodies visible). One of the pictures had the phrase “I hate you” graffiti on a wall, which has prompted some to interpret it as more than just a random photo.
| Instiz The photos have garnered mixed reactions from Korean netizens. While some tried to look for a negative meaning in her pictures, others defended the idol wholeheartedly.

“Is her being active on Instagram such a big deal? If you guys hate it so much just don’t look? But you guys went and looked for it, only to criticize her? You guys are really overflowing with energy…You must hate celebrities with sincerity.” “Looks like nothing but more fuel for the anti-fans.” “It seems like it’s better not to worry about celebrities. They’re doing well in a good place.” “You’re free to post on social media but…it’s better not to put out something that could invite attacks.”

“It seems like she posted it with the same Instagram vibe that many people in their 20s these days post, without thinking too much. However, given the situation and the current public opinion, it’s probably better to be extra cautious. It’s really unfortunate in many ways…” “Minji is pretty.”
