Lawyer Kang Yong Seok of the Garosero Research Institute caused a stir when he revealed the bare face of YouTuber Free Zia (Song Jia).

On January 23rd, lawyer Kang Yong Seok pointed out Free Zia on Facebook live, says "Don't be fooled by makeup. The bare face of the trending Free Zia"

Netizens criticized this as an intention to maliciously attack Free Zia. 

Lawyer Kang Yong Seok captured and released a broadcast scene of Fashion N's beauty program 'Follow Me - Sincerely to your taste', where Free Zia appeared last year. Here comes the freesia bare face with makeup removed.

However, as a result of checking the entire broadcast video at the time, it turned out that the scene disclosed by lawyer Kang Yong Seok was only a so-called 'some of the most unpretty scenes'. 

Netizens who watched the broadcast commented, "She has really smooth skin. Her skin looks really good", "There are no pores or small acne", "It looks like it's steamed raw fish, but it's so pretty", "There aren't many celebrities who show off their raw skin confidently. Her confidence is cool and pretty," and other comments on the 'Follow Me' YouTube channel . 

The following is another scene (gif) in which Free Zia appears raw after removing her makeup.

Meanwhile, Free Zia (Song Jia) apologized for all kinds of controversies, including fake luxury goods, and announced that her activities would be suspended. On January 25th, She uploaded a video titled 'This is Song Jia' on her YouTube channel.

In the video, Free Zia said, "Even though I should have been more careful as someone who runs YouTube, I used fakes to undermine the brand's value and disappointed many people who believed in me. I turned all my channels private and reflected on it. I will do it again and give myself time to reflect. And I will hold myself accountable for my mistakes until the end.”

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.
