Minju was a YG trainee from age 13 until late 2021/early 2022 before joining Belift Lab to debut with ILLIT, but there are no prior misconduct reports, no official statements, and no credible media outlets treating this as real. https://t.co/TYWiFu42Qe

You guys do realize that people on the internet can say anything and attach screenshots to their posts as “proof” without it meaning anything?

None of what is being spread holds any truth.

Leave Minji alone.
