Previously, Minji captured fans' hearts when she burst soap bubbles while dancing to NewJeans' song "Attention". The fancam featuring the moment went viral with views exceeding 1.43 million.
Accordingly, a question mentioned this viral moment and asked, "Is there a story behind Minji's legendary 'Attention' fancam bubble?" Regarding this, Minji recalled and shared, "It was almost a freestyle section towards the end of 'Attention'. They scattered the bubbles three times, and they scattered more than before because it was the last part."
"My vision is full of bubbles, so I can't see at all. So I thought, 'I have to secure my sight', and I made eye contact with the bubble and popped it," said Minji.
Minji also mentioned her feelings at the time, saying, "I burst the bubble to secure my sight. I didn't expect it to go like this (go viral), I thought it would just pass."
Meanwhile, Minji debuted as a member of NewJeans last year, and since then, the group has enjoyed syndrome-like popularity with various rookie awards and other prizes.
NewJeans' songs "Attention", "Hype Boy", and "Ditto" continue to go viral, while their albums "OMG" and "New Jeans" have surpassed 1 million copies in cumulative sales. Therefore it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that NewJeans have established themselves as the representative idol of the 4th generation. (wk/goddess)
