Free Zia, who had only removed posts related to wearing fakes, seems to have deleted all posts except for an apology as the controversy grew.

Even on her YouTube channel 'Free Zia', you can't find any posts except for the apology video posted that day.

In an apology video, Free Zia said, "I admit to the use of counterfeit products, which has been controversial recently, and I admit that everything is my fault. As a YouTuber, I had to be careful and careful in all my actions, but there are many people who undermine the value of the brand and support me. I apologize for disappointing people."

Regarding the reason for purchasing the fake, she said, "At first, I just bought it because it was so pretty".

Free Zia, who feels pathetic when she thinks of her past self, said, "Looking back, when many people loved me, they should have looked back and strengthened their inner self. I am reflecting,” she said.

In addition, Free Zia asked her to refrain from accusing her family because it was all her fault.

Free Zia, who also apologized to YouTube subscribers, said, "I will make all the channels I run private and take time to regret and reflect. I will take responsibility for my mistakes until the end. I'm sorry."

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.
