Speculation grows as Minji's Chanel Beauty photos disappear from website

Was NewJeans' Minji removed as the global ambassador of Chanel Beauty?

Recently, a discussion has emerged in Korean online communities regarding Minji's status as Chanel's ambassador. 

Earlier last year, Minji was named the ambassador of Chanel Korea and was later named the global ambassador for Chanel Beauty. Since then, Minji's face has been seen in various Chanel Beauty campaigns.

However, Korean netizens noticed recently that Minji has been removed from Chanel's Naver homepage and Chanel's official website.

This has prompted many netizens to wonder whether the young idol has been removed from her position as the luxury brand's ambassador due to NewJeans' ongoing feud with ADOR/HYBE.

On March 21, the 50th civil division of the Seoul Central District Court approved the injunction request filed by ADOR against the five members of NewJeans (NJZ), demanding a ban on the group's activities outside of ADOR. Despite the ruling, the group filed an appeal and continued to stand against their label.

The continuing conflict has now left the group in a limbo, unable to proceed with any activities. Therefore, many netizens speculate that Minji's ads have also been removed.
