Artistry

Musical style and songwriting

Journalist Jake Lau of South China Morning Post noted that Minnie has a versatile voice: "she sings in a soft, breathy voice when performing more emotive songs and acoustic renditions, but on more powerful songs such as Lion, Minnie can belt out the powerful high notes". Apart from her voice, she is also known for her striking eyes and strong gaze that is featured in many of (G)I-dle's music videos. Through an interview with HelloAsia, she revealed that she gets inspired by her own story or from other people's stories or movies.

Influences

Growing up in a family of musicians, Minnie stated that the music video of "A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton where she starts playing the song while the piano was moving, ignited her dreams as a musician. She commented, "Ever since I saw that MV, I started thinking that I will sing and play the piano. I must become an artist like that". She also cites Super Junior whose songs she often sang to while growing up that led her into K-Pop. Through a magazine interview, Minnie considered American singer Alicia Keys as her role model since her childhood. She explained that she used to watch a lot of television with her mother when she was a child, and the performance by Keys' 2003 hit "If I Ain't Got You" was what inspired her to pursue music. She also cited Australian singer Troye Sivan, Thai singer Stamp Apiwat, and American singer Charlotte Lawrence as her inspirations and hopes to collaborate with them someday.
