My Take
Min Hee-jin fascinates me as a rare designer who shapes entire worlds rather than single songs. Rising from graphic designer to board member at SM Entertainment, she went on to mastermind NewJeans, and that crisp, nostalgic nineties mood is unmistakably her aesthetic signature. I am drawn to creators who treat a group's whole universe as the canvas. The bitter legal fight over control was hard to watch, yet there is something principled about a maker fighting for the soul of what she built. She makes me rethink how much invisible authorship sits behind pop.
