Speaking at the “Hanwha General Insurance He emphasized the importance of self-confidence and a level of perfection so refined that it leaves no room for criticism.
Highlighting the meticulous planning behind “Blue Coral Reef,” Min Hee-jin explained, “The day before the Tokyo Dome fan meeting, during Hanni’s rehearsal, it became clear that the initially chosen outfit did not match the performance. I asked the team to find a Saint James style striped shirt and a white skirt. For shoes, I thought stilettos would be more appropriate than stilettos, but we didn’t have any, so we searched vintage stores and found a pair with a slightly chunky heel.
He added, “For those who are familiar with the image of the song, the details would be obvious and would evaluate it carefully. It’s about paying attention to detail, so there’s nothing to be ashamed of.”
During NewJeans’ “Bunnies Camp 2024 Tokyo Dome” concert, held June 26-27, “Blue Coral Reef” stood out as one of the most memorable moments. Hanni, a K-pop idol with dual Vietnamese-Australian citizenship, recreated the vibe of the ’80s hit with remarkable fidelity, delivering a performance that felt like a snapshot of that era. His Saint James-inspired striped T-shirt worn on day one also became a topic of discussion. Notably, Min Hee-jin was responsible for the song selection.
Hanni’s cover caused a sensation in Japan not only for the original song and the singer’s popularity, but also for her ability to perfectly recreate the nostalgic emotions linked to the song. The performance also touched the heart of a cancer patient, who said it gave them encouragement and inspiration on their recovery journey.
This speech marked Min Hee-jin’s first public appearance since her resignation from HYBE, ADOR’s parent company, attracting significant attention.
