When asked if she follows any particular guidelines when uploading Instagram posts, Shin Mina responded, "I always take photos when I'm working on a project or when I go somewhere, but I often miss the timing to upload them. When I go somewhere, I feel like I should upload photos right away, but if I'm with someone... I'm afraid it might inconvenience them. So, I usually end up posting them a week later or all at once." Recently, Shin Mina garnered attention for posting photos that were speculated to be part of a "lovestagram" with Kim Woo Bin.
