Why did the narrative of NJ Minji as an it girl stopped the moment HYBE went to war with MHJ?

Quote from Prongs

Then we can all agree MHJ is the IT girl of 2024.

What ? GP likes her. Foreign news labelled her as korean feminist icon. She's the only female CEO in industry dominated by men. And she managed to sold out the hideous t-shirt,baseball cap, messy hair combination.

I would not call her a "IT girl", more of woman with ambitions and a bit of trouble maker. Girls like Suzy and IU where "IT girls" at their peeks. But to be honest I don't pay much attention to MHJ, but of I have heard about it she sounds more just like a ambitious woman, being succesful is not the same thing as being a "IT girl". But if you say the GP "loves her", wish feel a bit strange to me, so maybe.

Please stop insinuating women with ambitions as if it's a bad thing and should not be normalized for women in society. She's in forty and has been within industry for so long. It's not ambitious to wanted position as CEO, seeing her experiences. It's pretty normal to want to move your career in that age, regardless your gender.

Never said it was bad, just saying I don't see her a like a person that is like and loved by the general public at the level as girls like Suzy and UI are.

Minji is my wifey but she was never an it girl

About it girls status in 4th gen: Wony >>>Karina >>>>>>>>>> wall of China>>>>>>>>>> every pretty girl in kpop

And I was the principal user here saying she wasn't an it girl at all and it was just a narrative fueled by hybe press, once hybe dropped newjeans it shattered like a castle of glass, I can't stop being proved right this year again and again.

honestly i feel

like she’s trending higher these days than before, i’ve always loved her but she’s never been a gp it girl but now,, she’s going viral more often

Correct me if I'm wrong but she's never even been the most popular in her own group. Isn't Hanni the most popular with maybe Haerin being the most trendy?

NJs is effectively now MHJ & Friends, with the & Friends being Minji & Friends.
