On May 7, the discussion was brought up after a supposed fan praised NewJeans Minji's visuals. Looking at the post intently, the OP seems to be defending the idol from malicious rumors as well, saying:

"(NewJeans Minji) has always been pretty since she was a student. Fans say these pictures (above) didn't come out well but they're all pretty, from when she was in 6th-grade graduation + middle school.

What fans posted in the comment is a photo from when she was in 9th grade."

Along with this message, the author certified Minji's natural beauty with her pre-debut photos. Indeed, NewJeans Minji's beauty is evident even at a young age. The famous innocent and "first love" atmosphere she has didn't change, aside from losing her cheek fat after becoming a K-pop idol.

As soon as the photos were posted, fans and netters especially Bunnies (fandom), also defended Minji and praised her appearance. Fans were attesting that the "Hype Boy" singer didn't have plastic surgery, rather, she only underwent the so-called, "glow up" after growing a little bit older and losing her baby fats.

Some of the comments are:

• "Her face changed the most when she was in middle school. She didn't get any plastic surgery. It's disgusting that you brought her childhood picture and took it on her."
• "Minji is obviously a natural beauty from anyone's point of view. She's just a natural beauty, but I'm scared of a woman who's trying to make her look like she got plastic surgery."
• "Yes, anyone can see it's natural."

On the flip side, there are web users who completely disagreed with the OP and claimed that Minji most likely had cosmetic procedures prior to becoming an idol.

• "Even after looking at those ugly childhood photos, it's disgusting to see their fans chanting she's a natural beauty. Even the middle school graduation photo was taken after surgery."
• "I am neither a fan nor an anti, but her nose is definitely done through plastic surgery."
• "Having a thick nose is more unique and attractive. You can never make a nose like that with plastic surgery."

Apparently, those who disagreed emphasized the change in Minji's facial shape and features such as her monolid and nose bridge.

As a response, fans continued to defend the idol and said:

• "She did her nose?? But I did it, too. Who cares. Few Koreans have that kind of nose."
• "They took not well-taken pictures before she even finished growing up and then accuse her of having plastic surgery. Minji is already proven to be natural, but the dog ladies are crazy about it."

They also called out malicious commenters for talking bad about Minji's face when they are hiding behind troll accounts.
