Actors Kim Se Jeong and Ahn Hyo Seop's tiki-taka, the drama 'A Business Proposal', is popular.

According to Nielsen Korea, a rating research company on March 16, episode 6 of SBS's ' 'A Business Proposal', which aired on the previous day, recorded an audience rating of 10.1% based on households nationwide.

'A Business Proposal' recorded a rating of 4.9% at the time of its first broadcast, but it showed a steep rise through word of mouth as 'Honey Jam' broke the 10% barrier in 3 weeks.

Kim Se Jeong made a promise of ratings on SBS Power FM's 'Choi Hwa Jeong's Power Time', which aired on the 25th of last month.

At that time, she focused attention by saying that she would sing the OST for 'A Business Proposal' if the ratings exceeded 10%.

Kim Se Jeong said in detail, "With a very grateful heart, I like the OST lineup, so I will rewrite it as the other version and sing it, and my brother Ahn Hyo Seop will sing the original version."

Afterward, through her Instagram account, Kim Se Jeong said, "I don't believe in a real God, but with God's blessing, I wonder if the promise will come true. The day has come."

When Kim Se Jeong mentioned the rating promise she made in the past again, viewers and fans expressed their excitement, saying, "I will be able to listen to the OST soon."

On the other hand, 'A Business Proposal' is an office romance filled with thrills between Kang Tae Moo (Ahn Hyo Seop), a talented man with a face, and Shin Ha Ri (Kim Se Jeong), an employee who cheated on her identity.

In the 6th episode, Kang Tae Moo and Shin Ha Ri, who quickly became close while going on a sea trip under the guise of work, were drawn.

At the end of the broadcast, Kang Tae Moo approached Shin Ha Ri, shouting "Baby," in surprise, and introduced himself to Shin Ha Ri's friends as Shin Ha Ri's boyfriend, causing a 'heart attack'. 

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.
