Recently, a netizen in Nate Pann drew attention with a post titled, “Luckily, Kim Min-ju turned down HYBE’s offer”. This person commented, “It’s much better to be active as an actress these days. She almost stepped on sh*t”.
In particular, Kim Min-ju decided to turn to acting after IZ*ONE disbanded. In addition to Kim Chae-won and Sakura, who are now members of LE SSERAFIM, HYBE recruited Kim Min-ju but she refused the offer to continue pursuing her acting career. At that time, many people were sad knowing she could have re-debuted in LE SSERAFIM.
However, as the group kept causing controversies, netizens began to think Kim Min-ju’s decision was a big luck.
In this regard, other netizens in Nate Pann commented:
– She’s not getting criticized, but she’s being forgotten. It’s such a waste of her beautiful face
– To be honest, it is almost impossible to recover the image of LE SSERAFIM. Even if Kim Min-ju is being forgotten and not getting any casting offers, in the long run, it’s much better for her to keep a clean image. There’s no way she won’t get any roles with her visual. She’ll get one soon. Many actors became famous after taking on supporting roles…
– It feels so terrible thinking Min-ju might have received all the curses that Sakura and Hong Eun-chae are getting now. It’s such a good thing that she didn’t agree
– I guess there’s no hope for her in the entertainment industry
– She’s still very young. It would have been so great if she joined LE SSERAFIM then turned to acting later on
