• Netizens Discuss Song Kang's Best Acting Work So Far

    Song Kang has become a hot topic because of the comments he received from his previous works.

    On August 30, a critical post about Song Kang began trending on instiz‘ community board under the title, “Song Kang's strongest acting performance“.

    The netizen who posted said, “Other than Sweet Home, there is nothing else that comes to mind“.

    The netizen then listed all the comments as the following:

    He simply lacks the ability to act, even today.

    In Navillera, he seemed fine.

    Forecasting Love and Weather

    Love Alarm 1 was his first time as the main character. He was a little awkward, but he was Hwang Seon Oh.

    >I believed he sucked there like crazy… It is at least 100 times better to predict love and weather.

    I believe like Sweet Home had been his best work. And I was shocked by how terrible he had been in Love Alarm

    In "Sweet Home," where he played a nerd, he was the best.

    I saw Forecasting Love and Weather, and he's really not it… Even though he didn't have many lines in "Sweet Home," he was a good fit for his role.

    It's correct that Sweet Home was indeed the character that was the easiest to play.

    Nevertheless for me... 

    > In Nevertheless, he was so bad that it was difficult to watch him… He was really bad, and he didn't even fit his role. He was more like the dumb puppy role.

    Sweet home. 

    Which do you think is Song Kang's best 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.
