However, people are not overjoyed with Yoona's performance.

Yoona is without a doubt the hardest working idol on the Korean television today. In 2022, she appeared in four projects, two films and two television dramas, all of which were collaborations with a number of popular male actors on the Korean screen. As a result, the audience dubs Yoona "the luckiest girl of the year".

Concerning these four collaborations, Yoona has a drama named "Big Mouse", in which she co-stars with Lee Jong Suk, slated to debut in July.

Another drama that has just ended casting is "King The Land," in which she co-stars with popular male idol Lee Jun Ho.

Two films have already been recorded: "Confidential Assignment 2: International", starring Hyun Bin, and "2 O'Clock Date," starring Ahn Bo Hyun.

In "Big Mouse", Lee Jong Suk and Yoona will play a married couple.

The husband is the worst lawyer; his case success record is exceedingly poor; the wife is ambitious; her only goal in life is to make her husband worthy of her.

"King the Land" is about a conglomerate heir named Goo Won (Lee Jun Ho) who is lured into a conflict for King Group's succession.

Yoona plays Cheon Sa Rang, a girl with a talent for constantly maintaining a positive attitude in any scenario, even the most tough.

"Confidential Assignment 2: International" picks up where part 1 left off, promising more lovelines for the Yoona - Hyun Bin couple.

Kim Seon Ho's replacement is Ahn Bo Hyun, who co-stars in "2 O'Clock Date" alongside Yoona. The film is a lovely fairy tale about what happens when a guy upstairs meets a woman downstairs who has a secret beyond belief.

Before the information about a series of projects of "the lucky girl", besides the expected comments, many people think that Yoona should spend time learning more about acting instead of accepting projects massively.

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.
