Recent film camera shots of SHINee during their "Hard" promotions have captured the hearts of fans, but the revelation of the photographer's identity left them even more astonished.

As SHINee engaged in activities for their 8th full album's title track, they treated their fans to intimate behind-the-scenes photos through social media.

Fans were captivated by the distinct and stylish atmosphere of these photos and eagerly speculated about the photographer's identity.

In a recent Instagram post, SHINee member Key unveiled the answer by giving a special mention to the photographer herself, Ji Hyang.

He expressed his wishes for her well-being, indicating that the remarkable film camera shots of SHINee members backstage were the work of this talented female dancer.

Ji Hyang, who can be seen in the top left of the accompanying photo, had previously caught the attention of K-Pop enthusiasts due to her beauty resembling that of an idol. Now, her photography skills are garnering her fame once again.

Netizens took to the comments section to express their thoughts:

"SM should give her a bonus for these amazing pics."

"She's incredibly skilled at capturing moments. I wonder what camera she uses."

"They should consider hiring her as their official backstage photographer, haha."

"I hope she gets the chance to take photos of my favorite idol if she collaborates with them."

"These photos possess a professional quality that is truly impressive."

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.
