• Netizens Are Worried Jung Hae In Would Face Another Early Termination For 'Snowdrop' After 'A Piece of Your Mind'

    As the controversy over distorting history continues. There is a growing concern that Jung Hae In would face another early termination for the drama 'Snowdrop'.

    Jung Hae In suffered an early ending of the tvN dram Monday-Tuesday drama 'A Piece of Your Mind' (writer by Lee Sook-yeon/directed by Lee Sang-yeop), which started airing on March 23, 2020 and ended on April 28 with 12 episodes.

    'A Piece of Your Mind' featured romance master Jung Hae In and refreshing twenties Chae Soo Bin, but they could not overcome the sluggish story and ended 4 episodes earlier than planned.

    The tvN Monday-Tuesday drama 'A Piece of Your Mind' ended with a rating of 1.2% (based on the nationwide paid households by Nielsen Korea, an audience rating research company). 'A Piece of Your Mind', which recorded a rating of 2.4% in the first episode, recorded a rating of 1.2% in the last episode, and experienced the humiliation of the first episode being the highest rating.

    Jung Hae In was able to overcome the pains of this drama, experiencing an early ending with 'D.P' gaining immense popularity. However, he is once again facing the risk of another early termination of a drama as his latest work, 'Snowdrop,' continues to face heavy criticisms.

    Netizens are worried that Jung Hae In can possibly ruin his career with his poor drama choices. Netizens commented, "He is ruining his own life," "He really should have been more careful when choosing his next project," "I think he just got lucky with D.P," "I didn't really like his past work either too though, except D.P." "This is so unfortunate," "Well you can't really foretell if a drama would be successful just by receiving the script," "I think he would be okay with just two bad dramas," and "He might become an icon of early ending dramas, lol."

  • 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.
