Actor Lee Do-hyun has been selected as a casual brand advertising model and is continuing his trend.

The casual brand Cover Knot released the 21F/W pictorial last October 26th by revealing that it had selected Lee Do-hyun as an advertising model.

In the published image, Lee Do-hyun perfectly digested a variety of winter styling from fleece to sweatpants and coats. While giving pleasant energy with a playful expression, in another cut, he showed off his soft charisma with deep eyes.

A representative of the brand said, "Lee Do-hyun has definitely proved her competence with various works such as 'Sweet Home' and 'Youth in May' and has risen to the ranks of a popular actor. Therefore, we selected him as a model because it perfectly matched the image the brand pursues."

Lee Do-hyun has established himself as a blue chip in the advertising industry by consuming a number of advertisements including casual brands, cosmetics, alcoholic beverages, fashion and lifestyle specialty malls, and real estate brokerage information sharing.

In addition, tvN's 15th anniversary special project Wed-Thu drama 'Melancholia' (play Kim Ji-woon / Director Kim Sang-hyeop / Planning Studio Dragon / Production Bone Factory) will continue his activities in the second half of the year. In the play, Lee Do-hyun is expected to show his true value once again as an actor who believes and sees the male lead, Baek Seung-yu, a mathematical genius who is unlucky.

Meanwhile, 'Melancholia' starring Lee Do-hyun will premiere on tvN at 10:30 pm on November 3rd.

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.
