• Hyun Bin to Have His Own Wax Figure at Madame Tussauds

    Actor Hyun Bin joins Madame Tussauds family.

    The world-famous wax museum, Madame Tussauds, announced the news of actor Hyun Bin joining the Madame Tussauds family through the official channel on May 27th.

    Madame Tussauds is a world-class wax museum, and 23 museums around the world exhibit wax figures of celebrities in each field.

    The news of Hyun Bin joining Madame Tussauds spreads rapidly through various social media and other online channels, proving the global fans' keen interest. Interest in the country where Hyun Bin's wax doll will be shown for the first time is also high.

    Hyun Bin said, "I think it's a great honor to be invited by Madame Tussauds, who have hundreds of years of history. Also, the waxwork process, which took a lot of time, was a different experience. I'm looking forward to the day when my wax figure stands in front of Asian fans", he said.

    Meanwhile, Hyun Bin's wax doll is currently in the process of being produced, and after making its debut in one of Singapore, Hong Kong and Bangkok, she plans to move to Madame Tussauds in another country to meet many Asian fans.

    Also, Hyun Bin married actress Son Ye Jin on March 31, and chose the movie "Harbin" as her next work.

  • 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.
