• 'All of Us Are Dead' Director Lee Jae Gyu Explained Why The School Uniform In The Drama Is Green, "I tried to give a little more...'

    Is there a special reason for students wearing 'green' school uniforms in the Netflix series 'All of Us Are Dead'?

    On January 26, Netflix released a video of the production process of 'All of Us Are Dead' on YouTube. In the video, director Lee Jae Gyu, who was in charge of directing 'All of Us Are Dead', appeared in person and released several behind-the-scenes stories.

    First of all, director Lee Jae Gyu said, "We have mobilized various mechanisms so that even those who do not watch a lot of zombie movies can enjoy 'All of Us Are Dead'. "

    "At first, the school space was a fresh and lively space, and I was trying to expose it and show it." He said,

    "I thought a lot about lighting and artistic colors in various places. We built a close-set," he explained.

    He also explained why the school uniform in the drama was green, saying, "I tried to give a little more intensity through the contrast of the red blood and the children's school uniforms, and the complementary colors (here, red and green)."

    As the director intended, almost every episode of 'All of Us Are Dead' shows students wearing green school uniforms and bleeding.

    Through the complementary color action of red and green, viewers can immerse themselves in the drama with greater contrast while looking at the screen.

    Director Lee also said, "I used a lot of one-take shots and long take shots in the beginning to give a sense of realism." As an example of a typical long-take shot, a scene in which a swarm of zombies invaded a food court was selected. It is said that the scene was filmed in one take after rehearsing all day.

    Meanwhile, 'All of Us Are Dead' is gaining popularity not only in Korea but also around the world.

    According to Flix Patrol, an online content service ranking site on the 31st, 'All of Us Are Dead', released in January 28, took first place with a total of 803 points in the world's top 10 rankings for Netflix TV programs within the second and third days after its release.

  • NewJeans Minji writes touching letter on her birthday during activity halt: “We didn’t stop and we won’t stop”

    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.
