The Words Lee Hyori Said When Her Friend Yoon Hye Jin, Who Came To visit Jeju Island, Filmed A YouTube Video
Yoon Hye Jin and her husband Uhm Tae Woong met Lee Hyori and Lee Sang Soon.
On July 28th, a video titled 'We went to Jeju and played like this' was uploaded on the YouTube channel 'Yoon Hye-jin's What See TV'.
In the video, Yoon Hye Jin and Uhm Tae Woong, and their daughter Ji-on left for Jeju Island and met Lee Hyori and Lee Sang Soon.
When Uhm Tae Woong was filming, Yoon Hye Jin said, "I'm not the kind of person who will appear on 'What City TV' now. Turn off the camera."
She then introduced Lee Hyori, saying, “I have one friend in Jeju Island.” “We originally didn’t want to film Hyori, but Hyori told her to use her to eat and take pictures. Why are you doing that kind of consideration?” she explained.
Lee Hyori joked, "Anyway, my interest has disappeared after 'Seoul Check-in' is over."
Together they visited a vintage shop. Yoon Hye Jin said, "This is a vintage shop that Uhm Tae Woong's favorite IU came to. She was there, and now Hyori is giving her IU experiences,” making her laugh.
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.
