Actor Park Bo Young once again exerted a good influence.

On February 14, the international development cooperation NGO G-Foundation announced that Park Bo Young had donated 50 million won to support female youth from low-income families in Korea on her birthday, February 12.

The donation delivered by Park Bo Young will be used to support sanitary napkins so that female adolescents who are suffering from a lack of sanitary pads can spend sanitary and safe menstruation periods.

On her birthday last year, Park Bo Young donated 30 million won to a girl from a low-income family who was having a hard time. 

Since her debut, Park Bo Young has consistently delivered meaningful messages to children and adolescents from low-income families at home and abroad. 

In addition, she has been continuously exerting a good influence by donating to the vulnerable and firefighters who are having a hard time due to the recent COVID-19.

Park Choong Gwan, CEO of G-Foundation, said, "I would like to thank actress Park Bo Young for sharing her warm heart with many young women from low-income families."

On the other hand, it is known that Park Bo Young is thinking about her next project after the end of tvN's 'Doom at Your Service.

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.
