The recent status of actor Kim Seon Ho, who was recently involved in a controversy over his private life, was reported.

On January 6th, Astar1 News exclusively reported, “According to Kim Seon Ho’s close acquaintance, the actor will not take on any other acting activities except for finishing the schedule of movie ‘Sad Tropical’, which is currently in the middle of filming.”

According to other reports, Kim Seon Ho is rejecting all proposals for new works and only focusing on “Sad Tropical”. It is also known that he has politely refused to renew advertising offers and contracts for brands that he is modeling for.

Moreover, although Kim Seon Ho has reportedly been receiving offers from promoters since last summer, he refused all overseas fan meeting plans, saying, “I decided to focus on filming movies this year”.

Kim Seon Ho, who emerged as a rising actor through dramas “Start-Up”, “Hometown Cha Cha Cha” and entertainment show “2 Days 1 Night”, was embroiled in a controversy over his private life issue after his ex-girlfriend A exposed him.

He temporarily suspended all activities after the controversy intensified. After that, as more revelations about A were revealed, public opinion was overturned. Therefore, Kim Seon Ho decided to proceed with the filming of movie “Sad Tropical”.

Meanwhile, “Sad Tropical”, starring Kim Seon Ho, is an action noir film telling about a boy, who dreams of becoming a professional boxer, becoming the target of mysterious people and being chased by them. The filming of this movie began in December last year.

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.
