While rumors are pouring in that the father of beauty YouTuber Free Zia is the president of an entertainment establishment, a business in Busan refutes it.

On January 27, the entertainment company that was suspected of being related to Free Zia's father made a statement through its website.

Person A, who said that he was working at the entertainment establishment, said, "From three days ago, the number of visitors suddenly increased exponentially and the server went down."

Person A said that there were rumors circulating in the entertainment establishment where he was working that Free Zia's father was the sales manager. 

In addition, Person A said that he had never seen Free Zia's father while working in a room salon for about 20 years.

Person A emphasized once again that it has nothing to do with Free Zia's father and the entertainment establishment where he works.

He even revealed his phone number, saying that people can contact him at any time if people want to check the truth.

On January 23, on the YouTube channel 'Entertainment Manager', Kim Yong Ho, a former entertainment reporter, said that Free Zia's father was not a dentist.

Recently, suspicions have been raised on YouTube and online communities that Free Zia's father is the president of an entertainment establishment. 

A number of posts claiming that Free Zia's father played a role in managing female employees at an entertainment establishment in Busan have been controversial. 

When suspicions surfaced that Free Zia's father was the head of a room salon in Haeundae, on January 26th, Hyowon CNC, the agency of Free Zia, said through various media, "We have nothing to say (about the matter)."

Meanwhile, Free Zia is currently on hiatus after acknowledging the controversy over wearing fake luxury goods.

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.
