The preppy look concept pictorial of the boy group Tomorrow X Together has been released.

Tomorrow X Together decorated the cover of First Look, which was released on August 19th.

The pictorial contains various images of the members who spend their free time on campus. In the active cut with bicycles, boards and rugby balls, the members of Tomorrow X Together perfectly digested the American classic style of Polo Ralph Lauren.

In particular, in the group cut, which showed various styles of cricket sweaters and knits, each member's individuality and different fashion senses are revealed. You can feel the coming autumn through the preppy look using flag knits, baseball jackets, shirts and ball caps.

In the interview that followed, Taehyun said about the 2nd regular repackage album 'Chaos Chapter: FIGHT OR ESCAPE', "It contains a fan song that is released for the first time since debut. This song was made with the desire to be together with MOA people from the first meeting until now, and for a long time to come. All the members wrote the lyrics with sincerity. There were so many things I wanted to say that I had a hard time getting rid of them. I picked my heart for MOAs, picked them, and pressed them down.”

When asked what kind of evaluation he would like to receive about this album, leader Subin said, “It’s like ‘Tomorrow x Together’. We want to be recognized for having found our color with more certainty. Personally, I take great pride in the fact that there is a clear color that comes to mind when you think of Tomorrow X Together. Even though I can’t pinpoint and explain it in standardized words, I want to make music that everyone says ‘It’s like Tomorrow X Together’, and I want to continue that trend more firmly through this album’s activities.”

Tomorrow by Together's pictorial and interview can be found through the magazine First Look No. 224 published on August 18.

NewJeans' Minji touched fans' hearts with a handwritten letter on her birthday — even while the group is currently unable to promote due to legal issues.

On May 7, Minji celebrated her birthday by sharing a heartfelt message on the group’s personal SNS account, which the members opened themselves to stay connected with fans.

Minji began her letter with honesty, writing, “I think I’m living a busier life than I expected. When I finally looked up, it was already May, and it was my birthday.”

She admitted that she had a lot she wanted to say, but her thoughts felt “messy.” Still, her message to fans was clear, “I just hope that I, our members, and Bunnies can all be happy. Happiness is the biggest goal in my life.”

Minji then opened up about her personal journey and struggles, saying, “I sometimes think that running toward my happiness by doing what I love might look foolish to others. But isn’t giving up your happiness now for the sake of a future that might not even come… too harsh on yourself?”

Despite everything, she ended on a hopeful note, “I really miss the times when we shared our feelings through the good music we made together. But I always look forward to what’s ahead."

She added, "We didn’t stop here, and we’re not going to stop! It might look like we’re standing still, but I believe we’re growing deeper.”

Her message comes during a difficult time for NewJeans. The group announced last year that they were cutting ties with ADOR, their original agency, after trust was broken. They later began working independently under the new name ‘NJZ’.

However, ADOR responded with legal action — claiming the exclusive contract with NewJeans was still valid and asking the court to stop the group from promoting or signing deals.

The court sided with ADOR and granted an injunction, forcing NewJeans to pause their activities. Their appeal was rejected, and they’ve now filed a second appeal.

Through it all, Minji’s message proves one thing — even when forced to stop, NewJeans' hearts are still moving forward.
