• 'Our Blues' First Teaser Video Was Released

    A teaser video for the new drama 'Our Blues' has been released, boasting a gorgeous lineup of top stars.

    On February 25, tvN released the first teaser video of 'Our Blues' under the title 'The story of various lives unfolding in warm Jeju' through the official YouTube account.

    It was a short video of just 15 seconds, but Lee Byung Hun, Kim Woo Bin, Han Ji Min, Shin Min Ah, and Cha Seung Won appeared in turn, delivering a strong impact.

    In particular, in the video, Han Ji Min, who plays the role of a baby haenyeo, wears work clothes and works.

    Many netizens paid attention as it was foretold that Han Ji Min, who had usually played an innocent and calm role, would take on a character with a strong vitality and undergo a different acting transformation.

    Cha Seung Won, who wears a suit and performs the 'mak-dance' at a dinner party, also drew attention because it was quite different from the serious acting he usually showed.

    Lee Byung Hun, who appeared on the CRT after a long time after the end of the tvN drama 'Mr. Sunshine' in 2018, took on the role of a truck dealer. The appearance ofLee Byung Hun, who is soliciting in colorful 'body-pants', also caused a lot of laughter.

    In addition, Kim Woo Bin, who is returning to the drama for the first time after recovering from nasopharyngeal cancer, and Shin Min Ah, who is in a public relationship with him, are expected to perform simultaneously in one work.

    Netizens cheered, saying, "I don't think this drama will ever fail" and "I hope it airs soon."

    Meanwhile, tvN's Saturday and Sunday drama 'Our Blues' will be broadcasted for the first time on April 9 at 9:10 pm.

  • 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.
