After a series of leaks from an account claiming to be the YG leaker on X (formerly Twitter) on March 31, today, on April 1, another account on X has posted previously unseen images of NewJeans (NJZ)’ Minji, allegedly leaked from her private Instagram account. These images include casual photos like landscape shots, random memes, selfies in front of the mirror, and group pictures featuring NewJeans (NJZ) members. One of the photos contains a wall graffiti with the words “I hate you guys” written on it.
Someone reposted the images on the Korean forum Instiz and shared, “The account was initially public and gained attention after someone recommended it. It has since been set to private, but it’s unclear whether it was always meant to be public or if it was made private because of a sudden surge in visitors.”
While the photos themselves aren’t necessarily problematic, the controversy stems from how people are trying to turn these images into something negative. Some argue that the meaning behind the “I hate you guys” graffiti could be misinterpreted, while others believe that sharing such personal moments is an invasion of privacy, regardless of the content.
It’s just normal. Are people criticizing because of the graffiti on the wall? Huh, they’re really blowing it out of proportion. People write other posts so maliciously. Anyone can see there’s no problem, they’re just making misunderstandings. The vibe is pretty. Seriously, when I look at it, there’s nothing wrong. What? Looking at the meme, they just posted it because it’s cute. What’s the problem, it’s cute.
