I’ve compiled a collection of looks from actress Kim Min-joo’s Instagram, ranging from a black zip-up cafe look to a white shirt stroll look, a black top denim look, a white t-shirt denim mini skirt look, a black sleeveless top, and a checkered skirt look.

As I flipped through the photos, I noticed that even though she was dressed in a seemingly effortless outfit, her clear and radiant aura remained intact, and I could understand why there has been so much talk about her beauty lately.

▶ Key Summary

- Kim Min-ju reveals her recent whereabouts, ranging from a black zip-up cafe look to a white shirt stroll look, a black top denim look, a denim mini skirt look, a black sleeveless top, and a checkered skirt look.

- I was active in the group IZ*ONE from October 2018 to April 2021, and since then, I have appeared as an actor in 'The Ban on Marriage in Joseon', 'Connection', and 'Undercover High School'.

- In March 2026, she garnered anticipation as a new first love icon by portraying a first love romance with Park Jin-young in JTBC's 'The Shining'.

The first thing that stands out is the photo taken in a clean, white-toned cafe.

It was a comfortable daily look consisting of a black zip-up jacket with a small logo on the chest and my hair styled high.

I spent the longest time looking at the casually tied-up bun in this photo; combined with the comfortable zip-up, it completed an unpretentious yet innocent look.

The sight of someone reading a book with their chin resting on their hand, with an egg tart and a drink in front of them, looked like a scene from a weekend afternoon.

It is difficult to confirm the exact product name of the zip-up.

The following are night photos taken at the riverside and on the park walking paths.

It was a cool summer walk look, wearing a loose white shirt over a white tank top and matching it with black shorts.

I spent the longest time looking at the oversized white shirt fluttering slightly in the breeze in this outfit; it created a contrast with the short black shorts, completing a refreshing yet comfortable vibe.

From close-up shots of holding a dog in your arms with your faces close together to full-body shots of walking on a leash, your affectionate daily life is captured just as it is.

It is difficult to confirm the exact brand of the shirt and shorts.

This time, these are photos taken in an alley covered in green ivy and a sunlit cafe.

It was a simple look consisting of a form-fitting black long-sleeved top paired with light blue denim.

I spent the longest time looking at the large black leather tote bag on the shoulder in this outfit; paired with the clean black top, it completed a chic yet practical look.

From the shot of looking back while walking down an alley to the shot of smiling with your chin resting on your hand with a matcha latte in front of you, I felt a calm charm.

It is difficult to confirm the exact brands of the top and bag.

The following is a photo taken in front of a wooden gate draped with vines.

It was a look that paired a form-fitting white cap-sleeve T-shirt with a denim mini skirt featuring a brown belt.

I spent the longest time looking at the olive canvas tote bag slung casually over my shoulder in this outfit. It added a natural accent to the combination of a white T-shirt and denim, completing a cheerful yet comfortable vibe.

The way he covered one eye with his hand and smiled shyly looked like a scene from a youth drama.

It is difficult to confirm the exact brand of the T-shirt and skirt.

This time, these are two selfies that appear to be from the same day.

It was a minimal look featuring a gray inner top layered under a black sleeveless top, accessorized with a thin necklace.

I spent the longest time looking at the silver chain bracelet on the wrist in this outfit; it added a subtle sparkle to the simple black top, completing a calm yet sophisticated look.

From the shot of her resting her arm on a glass table and looking at the camera to the balcony selfie against a backdrop of a green forest, her unadorned face stood out.

The last one is a photo taken by a large window overlooking silver grass and mountains.

It was an autumn look consisting of a gray chunky knit cardigan worn over an ivory turtleneck and a brown and blue checkered midi skirt.

I spent the longest time looking at the check midi skirt in this outfit; when paired with the cozy knit cardigan, it created a classic yet warm atmosphere.

Sitting by the window holding a single orange flower, the sight looked like an autumn pictorial.

It is difficult to confirm the exact brand of the cardigan and skirt.
