• Lee Seung Gi Receives Praise For His Flawless Live Vocals In "All The Butlers"

    Lee Seung Gi, a singer, and Sumi Jo, a soprano, both showed flawless singing abilities.

    Sumi Jo appeared as a daily master on the June 26 broadcast of "All The Butlers" on SBS, and the members had time to learn vocal music.

    The members of "All The Butlers" showed their singing abilities by holding a tenor contest on this date. A tenor is a male musician who plays the highest pitch in music.

    During the broadcast, Lee Seung Gi displayed a high note to the accompaniment and raised his voice up to three octaves, causing shock.

    Even Sumi Jo, the "World's Third-Greatest Soprano", was moved to tears by Lee Seung Gi's ear-piercingly high-pitched voice. Sumi Jo jumped to her feet, applauded her, and selected Lee Seung Gi as the best tenor in her group.

    The members also praised Lee Seung Gi's great high notes, saying, "It's neat" and "This is really acknowledged."

    Kang Seung Yoon, Lee Seung Gi's junior in the music industry, remarked, "That is really high."

    Following this, Sumi Jo and the members of "All The Butlers" performed "Champions" together on stage, a song that Sumi Jo sang and that gained national popularity during the 2022 World Cup in Korea and Japan.

    Lee Seung Gi stood next to Sumi Jo and gave the viewers a thrill by playing the tenor role nicely.

    After the song ended, all the members applauded and complimented the performers on a job well done.

  • 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.
