As Kim Seon-ho was embroiled in suspicions about his privacy, the advertising industry, which started to lose money by deleting advertisements that promoted him, is showing the trend of resuming advertisements by releasing Kim Seon-ho's photos and videos one by one.

According to the retail industry on October 29th, Food Bucket, a health food brand, is promoting and selling products under Kim Seon-ho. According to the product reviews released by Food Bucket the day before, buyers left comments such as "I bought it because it was uploaded again by Sunho's ad", "I bought it with the belief that it was a Kim Seon-ho advertisement, not a review."

After the controversy over Kim Seon Ho's private life, the mask company Miima Mask, which made all his photos privately, also resumed Kim Seon Ho's advertisement. The company is also holding an event to give Kim Seon Ho photo cards to mask buyers.

Canon Korea also reposted all the content of Kim Seon Ho. Now, Kim Seon Ho's advertisements can be seen through the official TV-Canon Korea YouTube channel. Many netizens left comments on the video saying, "This commercial would have been a waste if they took it down completely," "Canon is a good company, they were loyal," and "Canon is amazing and Kim Seon Ho is amazing too."

However, there are still some companies such as the outdoor brand Nau and the cosmetic brand Larocheposay that have not yet reposted the advertisements of Kim Seon Ho.

On October 17th, Kim Seon Ho was embroiled in controversy when an article was posted on an online community titled 'I am accusing the double and shameless reality of the popular actor K'.

After that, Kim Seon Ho left the advertising industry as well as the KBS entertainment show '2 Days1 & 1 Night ', where he was appearing a a regular member, and his movie appearances were canceled one after another.

As the controversy grew, Kim Seon Ho apologized through his agency four days after the allegations were raised, saying, "I hurt her with my negligence and thoughtless actions."

Afterwards, Kim Seon Ho's ex-girlfriend, Ms. A, also said, "I got an apology from him, and it seems that there was a misunderstanding."

However, on October 26th, as the entertainment media Dispatch reported on suspicions surrounding Mr. A based on the information from Kim Seon Ho, the controversy seems to lead to another quarrel.

Earlier, YouTuber Lee Jin Ho stated, "From what I know, there aren't companies that asked Kim Seon Ho to pay a penalty yet."

He continued to explain, "Kim Seon Ho was expected to pay a heavy penalty fee since he received more than 5 billion KRW (4.3 million USD) in advertising fees, but the advertising officials are saying something different."

He continued, "Normally when making a contract for an advertisement, private life issues are not listed in the contract. So, for the advertisement company to issue a penalty fee is when the individual caused a social controversy with a crime."

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.
