In particular, a viral tweet with over 3.7 million views and 34,000 likes has accused Minju of having surgery done to her jaw. In particular, they used a photo of the idol from the “profile film” of R U Next? to show the comparison as alleged proof of the surgery.

The bones on her face have been shaved off, her nose is also a prosthetic, and her face looks really scary. Moreover, her ears, eyes, nose, and wrinkles are very much like Dobby's. https://t.co/fJGBLUquRb pic.twitter.com/PcEdAJTbW9

Yet, many fans came to the idol’s defense, sharing pre-debut photos of the idol, as well as those from when she was a child, to hit back at the claims.

Minju when she was younger btw + pre debut. A whole account dedicated to hating like a man. https://t.co/Jl9sDFHO19 pic.twitter.com/eTmGW7e9DN
