• "Fan Love Knows No Boundaries" Taeyeon's Fans Make Her Birthday Extra Special

    Singer Taeyeon was moved by the love of her fans.

    On March 30th, Taeyeon uploaded a video titled "How to Celebrate TY day," on her YouTube channel "TAEYEON Official."

    On this day, Taeyeon visited a cafe where an event was held on her birthday, which was on March 9th.

    Taeyeon showed off a cup holder with a photo of herself and said, "Even though the event is over to feel your love, I came to visit again" and was touched by her fans' love.

    Next, Taeyeon found a subway station where a birthday congratulatory advertisement was posted. It was time for an essential photo shoot.

    Taeyeon expressed her gratitude to her fans, saying, "Thank you, fans," and conveyed her appreciation once again.

    Taeyeon then visited another subway station to see another birthday advertisement and laughed, saying, "It's been a long time since I rode the subway."

    She then said, "Thank you for congratulating me on my birthday even though it passed on March 9th. Fortunately, there was an advertisement near SM, so I came to see it quickly," and greeted her fans with a "Thank you."

    Later, Taeyeon moved to the company cafe and said, "When I went to the subway station earlier, nobody recognized me. So I went back and forth easily," and laughed, saying, "So I thought, 'Oh, I can come around here often, can't I?' Everyone was just looking at their phones and walking while looking at the ground."

  • 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.
