Actress Kim Tae Ri, who turned 33 this year poses for It Misha.

On January 25, It Misha, a women's fashion brand, announced that actress Kim Tae Ri had been selected as a new muse and released a fashion pictorial.

In the photo, Kim Tae Ri is wearing spring-inspired dresses, trench coats, jackets, and skirts with unrivaled charm.

Kim Tae Ri's unique romantic and girly aura immediately catches the eyes of those who see it.

The photo of Kim Tae Ri with braided hair and a mischievous expression is reminiscent of the female protagonist in a pure cartoon.

Many people burst into admiration at the unrealistically beautiful Kim Tae Ri.

Kim Tae Ri, who caught fans with her radiant beauty, plans to return with the tvN romance drama 'Twenty-five Twenty One' next month.

Kim Tae Ri and Nam Joo Hyuk will work together. She plans to delicately portray the female protagonist who is struggling between love and friendship.

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.
