New Show Announcement

A new television show titled "Minju’s Pink Cabinet" is set to premiere on November 7 at 7 PM KST on KBS KPop, taking over from LE SSERAFIM Eunchae's popular series, "Eunchae’s Style Diary." The new program will be hosted by Minju from the girl group ILLIT and has already sparked significant interest—and controversy—among fans and netizens alike.

Guest Appearance and Fan Reactions

The inaugural episode will feature ATEEZ’s Yunho as the first guest, which raises the anticipation for the series as it promises to unveil the “super real” sides of popular stars. However, the launch has not come without its detractors.

While some fans expressed enthusiasm for the new show, others voiced skepticism about Minju's hosting abilities. Comments ranged from excitement—“I’m looking forward to the show”—to doubts about Minju's charisma, with users questioning whether she can bring a fun and witty atmosphere to the series.

Concerns About Corporate Influence

The discourse took a critical turn as many netizens speculated about HYBE's influence in the project. Comments like “How much money did they receive from HYBE?” and “Another place full of content for the internal documents” suggest some believe the show is merely a strategy for HYBE to further its influence in the entertainment industry, hinting at possible corporate agendas behind the production. This feeling of scrutiny has led to a conversation about the broader implications of idol appearances on reality TV and their connections to music label practices.

Comparisons to 'Eunchae’s Style Diary'

Interestingly, Eunchae’s "Style Diary" enjoyed a successful run from March 2023 to October 2024, leaving behind big shoes for Minju to fill. As the K-pop landscape continues to evolve, fans remain eager—yet apprehensive—about what Minju’s new show will bring. Will it capture the charm that made Eunchae's series a hit, or will it fall short amid the looming shadows of corporate oversight? Only time will tell as "Minju's Pink Cabinet" prepares to make its debut.
