Lee Jun Ho and Lee Se Young impress the viewers with their acting skills in the last episode of “The Red Sleeve”.

In the finale of MBC’s Friday-Saturday drama “The Red Sleeve”, which was broadcast on New Year’s Day, there was a scene where King Jeong Jo (Lee Jun Ho) and Seong Deok Im (Lee Se Young) break up forever.

Seong Deok Im (Seong Eui Bin), who falls ill while being pregnant, prepares for her last moment. King Jeong Jo then rushes over, but Seong Deok Im goes to visit the court ladies whom she is close to.

When Jeong Jo asks, “Did you not want to see me?” Seong Deok Im says, “Your Highness, did you really love me? If so, in the next life, if you see me, please pass me by. Let me live the way I wish to in my next life.”

From here, Lee Jun Ho’s acting skills are taken to another level. He holds Lee Se Young’s hand with trembling hands and sheds tears.

Later, when Seong Deok Im closes her eyes, Jeong Jo breaks down in tears, “I was wrong”, “Deok-im ah, please don’t go”, and “Don’t leave me.”

The acting performance of both the main leads is full of sadness that brings tears to the viewers’ eyes. This scene gets even more heartbreaking because, in history, King Jeong Jo and Seong Deok Im (Seong Eui Bin) broke up after a short time together.

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.
