Netizens gushed over ATEEZ San's changed physique.

On a popular online community, a netizen created a post that shows the idol member's physical transformation.

Originally titled, "This man who was complexed about his slim body bulked up and became legendary", the post shows how San had gone from a slender figure to a more muscular figure with a much wider shoulder. 

The netizen who wrote the post stated, "Now, he eats well and works out, which has made him look even better. He also knows not to do too much, so the way he takes care of his body is impressive".

The below photos are shown as his before transformation pictures. 

Netizens reacted:

"I don't usually like guys with muscles, but Choi San-goon does it so well."

"His dance line got better as well ㅋㅋ"

"I used to hate men who put on muscle, but after I met San, I found that I kind of like them."

" Even before he got bigger, his waist was always small, so he looked fine… But it's good to see that he's been eating well and working out ㅋㅋㅋ"

"I think that his face and the shape of his face suit him more. He had a lot of boyish charm before, but he looks better now, and it's cool that he can take care of himself."

"He's looking much better."

"Aside from getting bigger, his face got sharper, and he really turned into a man."

"Omg he is so fine"

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.
