Minnie Facts:
Minnie joined SM in 2018
She was casted after participating in an international dance competition
She revealed she never had aspirations of becoming an idol, but when she was casted she wasn’t pursuing a career and wouldn’t mind trying to see what being a trainee was like
Eventually she said she fell in love with dancing in another way than she did before competitively and her members helped her decide that she wanted to debut with them
She joined WayV during the groups debut
Nicknames: Nini
Minnie grew up in China for most of her life after her Korean parents divorced and her father moved to China for his career
She got back in contact with her mother when she was a teen and has a good relationship with both her parents and their new partners
Minnie thinks her Korean name is a bit awkward, but she likes that she has one because she only got back in touch with her Korean roots when she joined SM
Minnie’s Chinese name was given by her Chinese childhood friends and step-mother
She likes her Chinese name, but she prefers people calling her Minnie
Even her members rarely use her Chinese name
Minnie speaks Mandarin, conversational Cantonese and Korean
She says that other members in WayV are better at speaking Korean than her despite her being the only Korean member of the group (Weibo)
She revealed that it was embarrassing that her Korean was so bad when she arrived in Korea and that she would take 4 hour classes each day at one point to improve faster (Weibo)
She is really bad at learning languages and was generally bad in school, so she made little progress and found it easier to learn Korean while speaking to her Korean and non-Korean members (Weibo)
She has dyslexia (Kun & Ten on Weibo)
As the third girl to join the group, her addition was received without much criticism from the public
Minnie loves dancing and writing rap lyrics with the help of her members
Minnie takes a short time to get ready, but takes the longest to wash up at night
Minnie is really great at taking pictures and doodling her members
She’s friends with Astro’s Moon Bin (during summer breaks when she visited her mom in Korea, she would go to dance camps where they met and became friends), Seventeen’s Seungkwan, Aespa’s Ningning, Kep1er’s Xiaoting and Red Velvet’s Joy & Yeri
Scandals & Drama:
It was rumoured Minnie would join SM’s future girl group when she got announced as an SM Rookie in 2018, despite it being pretty likely for her to debut in a new NCT unit
When she debuted in WayV, fans were happy to see her perform, but were disappointed she was a part of a foreign group
With all the videos of her dancing pre-debut, fans had wished for her to debut as a soloist or in a new girl group
Minnie got a lot of backlash from K-netizens for her lacking Korean
She got wind of this and even apologised for her poor Korean skills in a well written letter and a spoken message on her bubble account
Kun and Ten shared their disappointment with the fans that Minnie had felt the need to apologise and later with the permission of Minnie, they shared her slow progress was caused by her dyslexia
Ten shared that Minnie and him took Korean lessons together and she felt bad that she had to sit in a class as the only Korean person
He said that she tried really hard to learn quickly which was hard because of her dyslexia and caused her stress, which in turn caused her progress to slow down even more
Later, Yuta, another foreigner member, shared that he spoke to Minnie plenty of times and that she wasn’t lacking whatsoever, but that she was very hard on herself and the hate caused her stress which made her too nervous to talk
He wished fans wouldn’t talk badly about her skills and rather wanted them to praise her, because she did improve from when she first joined SM
She also got backlash for not speaking much during interviews, especially when they were Korean interviews, but Kun made sure to let people know that each member had their roles to fill and that the other members agreed to take the word during interviews more
There were rumours Minnie wasn’t as close to other female members, but Subin dismissed the rumour saying that they were close, but Minnie just had very different schedule which is why they aren’t seen together much
