The press conference had many highlights that kept people talking about it for days, from Min Hee Jin’s unexpected attire to her unfiltered swearing to the shocking exposés she made against HYBE.

Now, more than a month later, it seems that Min Hee Jin’s conference is still a hot topic. MAXIM, one of the most popular male adult magazines in Korea, has released a photoshoot that essentially recreates the press meet.

The pictorial features “Miss Maxim” model Han Ji Na, known for her highly explicit photoshoots.

For the Min Hee Jin parody specifically, she donned a similar striped, oversized t-shirt and a blue baseball cap, posing with a mic in her hand just like the ADOR CEO. In the background, a faint image of Kakaotalk messages being projected on the screen added the fine touch to fully recreate the milestone press conference.

Though this pictorial followed the theme of press conferences that have shaken the country in the past few years, netizens have not received it too kindly. Many found it absurd to sexualize the press conference.
