Alternate Ways to Express "Minjun doesn't think you broke your phone":

1. 민준은 네가 휴대폰을 깨뜨렸다고 생각하지 않아요.
 – (Minjun-eun nega hyudaepon-eul kkaetteuryeotdago saenggakhaji anayo.)
  Use 네가 instead of 그쪽이 to directly mean “you” (subject marked by 가).

2. 민준은 네가 핸드폰을 깼다고 생각하지 않아요.
 – (Minjun-eun nega haen-deupon-eul kkaetdago saenggakhaji anayo.)
  Here, 핸드폰 (haendeupon) is another common term for “cell phone,” and 깼다고 is a more casual/personal past form for “broke.”

Both alternatives maintain the meaning while varying the choice of pronouns or synonyms for “cell phone” and the verb form.
