• Bang Si Hyuk Spotted With Cast on Leg and Foot Due to Injury

    The daily life of Bang Si Hyuk, a composer and HYBE chairman, was revealed.

    Fashion designer Yoni P posted a photo taken with Bang Si Hyuk on his Instagram on November 6th. She explained, "Our chairman Bang Si Hyuk whom I respect so much in real life and has achieved the biggest success among everyone I know. But, he is forever the Si Hyuk oppa who buys me good food. "

    In particular, it was reported that Bang Si Hyuk had a leg injury and came to meet the designer couple Yoni P and Steve J in a wheelchair. Designer Yoni P said, "He even injured his leg and yet he visited the cafe in a wheelchair. He liked how there were many people. He even sent me a photo that we took 10 years ago, saying that it's already been 10 years since we've known each other. He's a sweet man, if you get to know him! I'm always so proud~ I always root for your amazing road ahead.” she added.

    Bang Si Hyuk is not in a wheelchair in the photo, but is wearing shorts for a leg cast. A photo of Yoni P and her husband Steve J together with Bang Si Hyuk 10 years ago was also released. The three of them attracted attention with a sophisticated atmosphere that was hard to believe that it was 10 years ago.

    Bang Si Hyuk surprised everyone by appearing with a remarkably sharper visual in the 'NEW BRAND PRESENTATION' held on YouTube in March. Previously, the appearance of his weight gain continued to be revealed through various media, and some netizens expressed concern about his health.

    Bang Si Hyuk discovered BTS, which has grown into a global group. Currently, he is in the chairmanship position after changing the name of Big Hit Entertainment to HYBE for business expansion.

    As of July, HYBE's stock price rose and his assets were reported to have reached $3.2 billion.

  • NewJeans Minji writes touching letter on her birthday during activity halt: “We didn’t stop and we won’t stop”

    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.
