Do you see the similarities between Young Seo and this anime character? 

The female lead’s BFF in “A Business Proposal”, chaebol daughter Jin Young Seo (Seol In Ah) has quickly become the favorite character of many viewers.

She is beautiful, rich, talented, straightforward and absolutely charming. Her adorable and chaotic friendship with Shin Ha Ri (Kim Se Jeong) is definitely one of the best parts of the drama. 

After the first two episodes of “A Business Proposal”, some viewers have noticed that Jin Young Seo resembles Sonoko, a character from the anime/manga “Detective Conan”. 

Not only do they both look beautiful with the same blunt cut bob, Young Seo and Sonoko also have many things in common in terms of background and personality.

They are both daughters of extremely wealthy companies. But they are not arrogant or distant. They are kind, friendly and sociable. They both have best friends who come from ordinary families, Ha Ri and Ran.

They both exude the aura of a “rich kid”, but when they’re with their best friends, Young Seo and Sonoko often act cute like children. Notably, these two girls are both interested in boys and get into funny situations because of this. 

Some viewers’ comments, "Young Seo is the K-drama version of Sonoko", "I see no difference, I wish I had a rich and cool best friend like that" and "No wonder I found Young Seo familiar".

“A Business Proposal” airs every Monday and Tuesday on SBS and Netflix.

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.
