• Go Hyun Jung Gains Attention for Destroying Her Personal Hermès Bag Worth ~$15K USD Worth in ‘Reflection Of You’

    Go Hyun Jung drew attention with a scene of her slamming a red bag on the floor in JTBC’s Reflection Of You. People were shocked to find out that it was a Hermès Kelly bag that got smashed on the floor.

    In an interview with Sports Chosun on December 25th, Han Hye Yeon, a stylist in charge of Go Hyun Jung's styling in this drama, shared what it was like to work with the drama team of Reflection of You.

    She said, “We prepared her outfit according to the script, which read ‘a luxurious woman who wandered into the wrong neighborhood.’ The bag for the scene was our concern.” She added that it was Hyun Jung’s idea to bring her bag to the set to use it for filming and that the bag she brought was Hermès, specifically from their ‘Kelly’ collection.

    Many were shocked to find out that Go Hyun Jung's bag is a product of the high-end brand 'Hermes', a part of their 'Kelly bag' collection. The bag is reported to be part of a limited-edition collection that even VIP customers have to be put on a waiting list for two to three years to make an order.

    As the customers have to either wait or accumulate a certain amount of purchasing credit with the store to buy the bag, the resale price is currently $8,420 greater than its original price due to its high demand.

    Han Hye Yeon recalled, “I flinched every time she slammed the bag on the floor.”

  • 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.
