She has the most pictures from before she joined the group.

Hyein of NewJeans is known to have had a busy life before she joined the group. Before she became a real hero, she was well-known as a model for kids.

So, she is one of the members with the most pictures from before their debut.

Recently, pictures of her before she became famous showed up again on an online group and got a lot of attention.

Even as a child, she could see things perfectly.

Did you know she also walked the runway?

She showed off her moves at a fashion show for a line of clothes for kids.

We'd love to see her walk down the runway again.

She has done a lot of shooting for different magazines.

This one of her in a beautiful dress is our favorite.

Hyein also had a small part in a webdrama!

Many people on the Internet thought that she was born to be an idol. She not only looks right for it, but she also has the ability.

"So this is what it means to be meant to be an idol."

"That's why she started out."

"I would let her make her appearance as anything, even as a model, if I were them."

"She is very good at understanding ideas. She makes it all work."

"What the heck."

"God-baby."

"Even if they don't eat, her parents must be full."

She was made to be in the center.

NewJeans' Minji touched fans' hearts with a handwritten letter on her birthday — even while the group is currently unable to promote due to legal issues.

On May 7, Minji celebrated her birthday by sharing a heartfelt message on the group’s personal SNS account, which the members opened themselves to stay connected with fans.

Minji began her letter with honesty, writing, “I think I’m living a busier life than I expected. When I finally looked up, it was already May, and it was my birthday.”

She admitted that she had a lot she wanted to say, but her thoughts felt “messy.” Still, her message to fans was clear, “I just hope that I, our members, and Bunnies can all be happy. Happiness is the biggest goal in my life.”

Minji then opened up about her personal journey and struggles, saying, “I sometimes think that running toward my happiness by doing what I love might look foolish to others. But isn’t giving up your happiness now for the sake of a future that might not even come… too harsh on yourself?”

Despite everything, she ended on a hopeful note, “I really miss the times when we shared our feelings through the good music we made together. But I always look forward to what’s ahead."

She added, "We didn’t stop here, and we’re not going to stop! It might look like we’re standing still, but I believe we’re growing deeper.”

Her message comes during a difficult time for NewJeans. The group announced last year that they were cutting ties with ADOR, their original agency, after trust was broken. They later began working independently under the new name ‘NJZ’.

However, ADOR responded with legal action — claiming the exclusive contract with NewJeans was still valid and asking the court to stop the group from promoting or signing deals.

The court sided with ADOR and granted an injunction, forcing NewJeans to pause their activities. Their appeal was rejected, and they’ve now filed a second appeal.

Through it all, Minji’s message proves one thing — even when forced to stop, NewJeans' hearts are still moving forward.
