Minju is facing criticism for mentioning and inviting TWICE Sana to her show.
On November 7, KBS Kpop released episode 0 of "Minju's Pink Cabinet." During the episode, the production team asked the "Magnetic" singer if there were any other idols she would like to invite on her show.
Minju gladly shared, "Can I say an industry veteran? I'm actually a huge fan of TWICE. I'm a huge fan of TWICE's Sana. I'd love to meet her."
However, Minju's mention of Sana didn't sit well online. The idol was criticized by netizens, who based their sentiments on HYBE's controversial document that monitored and targeted numerous idols in the K-pop industry, including artists from SM, JYP, and YG.
Read their comments below:
- "Please don't meddle with them. HYBE mentioned them in their documents and they're victims. This is too much."
- "Go invite LE SSERAFIM or fromis_9 instead."
- "This statement was so careless and they could've easily edited it out."
One netizen commented, "HYBE has turned everyone against ILLIT at no fault of their own and the girls don't deserve any of this hate at all."
