One scene from "Twenty Five Twenty One" has sparked debate.

On April 2nd, the latest episode of tvN’s Saturday drama “Twenty Five Twenty One”, depicts a long-distance relationship between Baek Yi Jin (Nam Joo Hyuk) and Na Hee Do (Kim Tae Ri) because Baek Yi Jin left for New York as a correspondent.

Na Hee Do turned on the TV just in time for the news, and was pleased to see Baek Yi Jin reporting. Baek was at the spot of the September 11 terrorist attacks.

On the other day, Na Hee Do missed Baek Yi Jin‘s report.

On some days, she was disappointed when she could only hear Baek Yi Jin‘s voice during the “September 11th terrorist” report.

Baek Yi Jin called Na Hee Do and explained, “I called because I think you would be disappointed because my face wasn’t shown today”. Na Hee Do was surprised, saying, “How did you know?” Baek Yi Jin delighted Na Hee Do by answering, “I want to look good for you so I take a stand shot”.

On the other hand, another netizen showed a different position, saying, "Let's watch the drama only as a drama".

The scene became a serious controversy as it spread to various SNS and online communities after the broadcast. This is because the tragedy of “911 Terror” was used in Baek Yi Jin and Na Hee Do‘s romance narrative.

Netizens responded that they could not understand, such as “I don’t think this is right”, “How did no one stop this?” “I’m really disappointed”, “What on earth are they thinking?”, “They can’t just do that” and “I’m really embarrassed”.

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.
