'Extraordinary Attorney Woo' PD highly praised Park Eun Bin's acting skills.

On the afternoon of July 26th, at the ENA channel Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo' director and writer press conference held at the Stanford Hotel in Mapo-gu, Mapo-gu, Seoul, PD Yoo In Sik revealed the reason for casting Park Eun Bin.

PD Yoo said, "There were not many actors who could play Woo Young Woo. Even when Park Eun Bin said that it would be difficult after review, I thought that the project would be difficult if (she) did not do it. I waited because I didn't have this, and I'm doing better than that... Once again, Park Eun Bin, Forever," he said, making everyone laugh.

'Extraordinary Attorney Woo' is a drama depicting the survival of a new lawyer Woo Young Woo (Park Eun Bin), who has a genius brain and an autism spectrum at the same time. It depicts various episodes in which the protagonist of the autism spectrum works as a lawyer.

The story of Woo Young Woo, a client, and the people around her, who stepped into society as a lawyer without hiding her autism spectrum, gives a warm resonance to many people. 

Thanks to this, the audience rating broke through 13% (broadcast on the 21st, based on Nielsen Korea's nationwide paid households) and is gaining popularity as a syndrome.

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.
