Striped Shirt+Blue Hat: Min Hee-jin’s Parody Became The New Viral Content Craze In Korea

In the preview for the upcoming episode of “SNL Korea,” which was released on Coupang Play on May 4th, comedian Kim Ah-young imitated ADOR’s CEO Min Hee-jin. In a very short video, Kim Ah-young drew attention by imitating Min Hee-jin’s unique tone and pointing fingers with abusive and outspoken remarks such as “I’m sorry, but this f**kjussi” and “F**k.” This is a parody of Min Hee-jin’s recent press conference. Kim Ah-young added to the fun by wearing a striped top and a blue hat that Min Hee-jin wore at the time.

Earlier, comedian Lee Kuk-joo also made headlines with her “Min Hee-jin look” on her personal channel. Although not exactly the same, she drew attention by wearing a similar outfit, including a striped top and a blue hat. Lee Kuk-joo wrote, “What? I was a woman who was ahead of the trend,” and left a comment that seemed conscious of the “Min Hee-jin look” craze, and then fellow comedian Kwon Hyuk-soo commented, “It was too fast,” drawing laughter.

In fact, the clothes and hat Min Hee-jin wore during her recent controversial press conference were sold out, proving the buzz. Since the press conference, various photos, pictures, and videos that parodied the “Min Hee-jin look” have poured out through various communities and online. Some people look at the “Min Hee-jin parody” as a kind of memes, and memes centered on the MZ generation are often positive. As more people are starting to take Min’s side in her media war with HYBE, the Min Hee-jin parody craze is expected to intensify.
