    In the midst of the controversy surrounding the premature cancellation of the show "The Idol," there is growing concern among fans as witnesses reported seeing Jennie in tears during her performance with BLACKPINK at the British Summer Time Festival in Hyde Park on July 2nd and 3rd.

    Taiwanese media outlet ETtoday released a report on July 9th (local time) detailing the incident.

    It was apparent that she was struggling to hold back tears, and she eventually sat down, trying to compose herself while her fellow members continued singing.

    Although she resumed singing during her part, she was unable to regain her composure due to overwhelming emotions.

    Media sources explained that Jennie has recently been caught up in various scandals, including dating rumors with BTS member V and receiving criticism for her debut drama, "The Idol."

    These negative experiences have exposed her to malicious comments, which have deeply affected her.

    Fans, witnessing Jennie's apparent difficulties, expressed their worry and left comments such as:

    "It seems like she's going through a tough time lately."

    "Did something happen to Jennie?"

    "I think she might be dealing with panic disorder."

  • 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.
