Former DIA member Somyi has been causing a stir online after she posted a smoking selfie on her Instagram account.

The singer, who is now an internet broadcast BJ, posted the photo on the 27th, with no particular caption.

In the photo, Somyi can be seen holding a vape in one hand and exhaling smoke from her mouth. While some fans were supportive of her choice, others expressed disappointment and concern about the potential negative effects of smoking on her health.

One fan left a comment saying, "Cigarettes… it's getting worse. Som unnie," expressing their disappointment. However, Somyi showed a defensive attitude in response, saying, "Whether I smoke or not is up to me."

The fan expressed disappointment, saying, "It seems like you've changed a lot from before." This comment sparked a debate among fans about the singer's image and whether or not it has changed over time.

Meanwhile, Somyi debuted as a member of DIA in 2017 but announced her departure in January last year.

Since then, she has been pursuing a career as an internet broadcast BJ, gaining a following for her entertaining and engaging live streams.

While it is ultimately up to Somyi to make her own choices about her health and lifestyle, her fans have expressed concern about the potential negative effects of smoking on her well-being.

Hopefully, Somyi will take these concerns to heart and make decisions that are best for her health and happiness.

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.
