    He even took out the sunglasses from the package and tried them on. Jennie and Lee Jung Jae have a special relationship.

    In October of last year, Jennie appeared on JTBC's 'Knowing Bros' and shared an anecdote about the story of her real name 'Jennie Kim'. 

    Jennie said, "When I saw Lee Jung Jae playing the role of 'Jae-hee' in the drama 'Sandglass', my mother said, 'If I have a son, I should name him Jae Hee. I came up with this similar 'Jennie' to name myself,".

    "I had to meet Lee Jung Jae sunbaenim later, so I told him, but my mother was surprised to find out that she was a fan of her, and she liked it a lot." she explained.

    At the time, Jennie said, "Everyone doesn't think my name is my real name, but my real name is Kim Jennie in Korean."

    "Actually, my mother is a fan of actor Lee Jung Jae, so I was named Jennie," she said. 

  • 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.
