Actress Park Shin Hye received malicious comments from some Chinese netizens after she released a photo wearing a hanbok.

On February 12th, Park Shin Hye posted a picture of herself wearing a hanbok with the caption, "I thought I wore it without a circle when I was taking pictures of the upper house, but it's still good to wear it".

In the photo, Park Shin Hye, dressed in a green hanbok, clasped her chin with one hand and smiled brightly, attracting attention.

However, after the photo was posted, some Chinese netizens poured malicious comments on Park Shin Hye, mixing Chinese and English. It was because she posted a picture of hanbok.

They said, "Isn't Hanbok an improvement of traditional Chinese clothing?" and "Hanbok is a traditional Chinese clothing that evolved from clothing".

In addition, they left several vomiting emoticons and inverted thumb emoticons to express their displeasure at Park Shin Hye wearing a hanbok.

Korean netizens who saw this responded with reactions such as "I'm tired of swearing now" and "Is there a reason for this in every picture of celebrities wearing hanbok? and expressed their dislike".

Meanwhile, at the opening ceremony of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, a woman wearing a hanbok appeared as one of the ethnic minorities in China, causing controversy.

In response, many stars, including Han Sang Jin, Lee Jon Hyuk, Girls' Generation's Hyoyeon, and BTS' Suga, posted pictures of themselves wearing hanbok, emphasizing that the hanbok belongs to Korea.

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.
