Pop star Post Malone responded to the cover of group Mamamoo's Hwasa.

Post Malone posted a video on his Facebook on August 4th with the words "Thank you for the wonderful video, Hwasa." As a foreigner, he is surprised by his non-abstract Korean usage. He even tagged Hwasa's Instagram account.

The video is a cover of Post Malone's 'I Like You', which Hwasa released on her birthday on the 23rd of July.

In the video, Hwasa showed off her excellent singing ability and digested 'I Like You' with her own feeling. The skillful facial expressions and relaxed gestures also draw admiration.

In addition, Hwasa showed off her lean body by matching a brightly printed white jacket and trousers with a sky blue crop top. His cute two-pronged gold ring earrings also added a fashionable feeling.

In response, Hwasa captured and posted Post Malone's post on her Instagram. At the same time, he expressed his joy by releasing messages of conversation with someone, such as "Oh my God", "Is this really Post Malone?", and "Then I'm holy."

Meanwhile, Post Malone is an American singer-songwriter and hip-hop artist. Hwasa released a collaboration single 'Somebody' with rapper Loco on the 26th of July.

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.
