Actress Song Hye Kyo and writer Kim Eun Sook teamed up for 'The Glory' to start filming for the first time next year.

According to JTBC on November 30th, "Recently, the formation of 'The Glory' has been decided."

'The Glory' is a sad revenge story that begins with a high school student who dreamed of becoming an architect. However, she had to drop out of school after suffering from brutal school violence. Years later, the perpetrator gets married and has a kid. Once the kid is in elementary school, the former victim becomes their homeroom teacher and starts her thorough revenge towards the perpetrators and bystanders of her bullying days.

In particular, this work is a new work by writer Kim Eun Sook, who has made several romance works such as KBS2's Descendants of the Sun and tvN's Goblin.

Writer Kim Eun Sook plans to transform into a revenge drama rather than a romance novel through this work.

Song Hye Kyo was selected for the work early. Currently, Song Hye Kyo is working with 30-year-old Jang Ki Yong in SBS 'Now, We're Breaking Up'. Following this, in 'The Glory', she plans to work with Lee Do Hyun, who is three years younger than Jang Ki Yong.

Lee Do Hyun received the male lead role in 'The Glory' and is currently reviewing it. The role that Lee Do Hyun is considering is an attractive person who helps Song Hye Kyo get revenge.

Song Hye Kyo is currently taking a break after filming for 'Now, We're Breaking Up', and Lee Do Hyun is said to be filming for 'The Glory' as soon as filming for tvN's 'Melancholia' is finished.

Meanwhile, while Kim Eun Sook's new work 'The Glory' also decided to go to Netflix, attention is focused on what kind of report card the work will write.

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.
