Why fans are calling out Min Hee-jin’s Instagram posts

K-pop fans are calling out some of Min’s Instagram posts after seeing that she has uploaded multiple pictures of minors.

Min’s love for art and aesthetic can be clearly seen on her Instagram. She often posts several seemingly random pictures. However, the art director has also posted aesthetic-looking pictures of children.

One of her posts from February 2022, shows a minor posing in a skimpy outfit. She has also uploaded a picture of a toddler. Back at the end of 2021, Min also posted a photo of a magazine cut-out of a young Brooke Shields.

Most of these pictures do not have a caption.

Min’s pictures have attracted a lot of criticism over the past few days, with many saying that it’s inappropriate that the art director has uploaded so many pictures of minors.
