Former IZ*ONE member and actress Kim Minju made a surprise appearance as a one-day weathercaster.

On the 15th, Kim Minju appeared as a one-day weathercaster on JTBC's 'Newsroom' weather segment. Dressed in a white two-piece outfit, Kim introduced herself in sign language and said, "I have taken on the role of 'Autumn' in a movie about the stories of youth who communicate through sign language," adding, "As autumn deepens, I will be delivering the weekend weather today." That day, Kim Minju demonstrated precise pronunciation, natural eye contact, and hand gestures, delivering a performance comparable to that of a professional weathercaster.

Kim Minju conveyed the weekend weather, saying, "There is news of rain that will bring cold weather this weekend. It will be mild until tomorrow (the 16th), but after the rain stops, from the day after tomorrow (the 17th), temperatures will drop sharply." She continued, "On Monday (the 18th), Seoul will experience its first subzero temperatures this fall. With strong winds, the perceived cold will be even more severe." She concluded with a warm farewell, "Have a happy weekend. Thank you," also expressing this in sign language. Since she acts using sign language in the movie 'Cheongseol,' it seems she emphasized this aspect.

Netizens who watched the video responded enthusiastically, saying things like, "She really looks like a weathercaster," "Her eye contact, pronunciation, and gestures are all perfect," "What can't she do?" "Looking forward to this movie," "I was so focused on her face that I couldn't hear the weather," "She looks beautiful even without stage lighting," "I was so surprised by how pretty she looked on TV," "Can't she be a weathercaster?" and "This should definitely be added to Minju's career."
