A shocking incident has been revealed that a Korea Railroad Corporation (KORAIL) employee illicitly accessed the personal information of BTS member RM.

On the 1st, SBS News at 8 reported exclusively on the KORAIL employee who illicitly accessed the personal information of BTS RM.

According to the report, the employee accessed not only RM's riding information but also his personal information.

The employee, A, allegedly accessed RM's address and phone number, as well as the device model he registered when he joined KORAIL, in addition to his riding information. This happened 18 times from 2019 to 2022.

Customer personal information can only be accessed by authorized departments for work purposes, but the employee, who worked in the IT department that developed the reservation system, was able to access it.

A told others, "I checked RM's reservation information and came to see him in person," and "I gave someone information about riding so they could book a seat nearby," but was caught.

KORAIL conducted an internal investigation after receiving a tip-off and stated, "We have confirmed that A illicitly accessed personal information, but we have not confirmed any external leakage."

In addition, it was revealed that A also accessed the personal information of male KORAIL employees who became a topic of discussion after appearing on a broadcast.

The KORAIL audit committee recommended that A be subject to appropriate disciplinary action. SBS reported that A stated that they "accessed the information out of simple curiosity and regret it."

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.
