I think the only reason people deny Minji being an it girl is because Wonyoung
Hoo boy then you have no idea how big Yujin is in Korea and Japan then. Wonyoung is astronomically popular out there but Yujin is LINED up with brands. When they do variety shows she's the primary lead, she's hosted shows. I'd argue IVE employs both of them as their 1-2 punch, so its not as egregious as Karina's popularity vs the other girls in aespa.
