Minji (NewJeans) Before debut
Minji was born in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do, in northeastern South Korea, and attended Mancheon Elementary School. After that, she enrolled in Gangwon Junior High School.
She had attended music school as a guitar student. Before she entered eighth grade, she auditioned openly for Source Music on the recommendation of her music school and passed.
She transferred to Sinsa Middle School to live a full-fledged trainee life.
At that time, there seemed to be a big fuss at the junior high school when a very beautiful student transferred to the school.
According to her junior high school classmates, Minji had a good personality.
For about four years, she was a trainee for Source Music and ADOR.
Minji was selected as a publicity poster for “PLUS GLOBAL AUDITION” jointly held by Big Hit Entertainment (currently HYBE) and Source Music in September 2019.
While a trainee in 2021, Minji appeared in BTS’s “Permission to Dance” music video alongside NewJeans member Hanni.
