• Producer Yoon Sang's Son's Past Photos Go Viral, Fueling Rumors of Him Joining SM Entertainment's Next Boy Group

    Yoon Sang's son is gaining significant attention as more photos of him surface on various online platforms.

    According to media reports, the musician/producer's son is set to make his debut as a member of SM Entertainment's highly-anticipated 7-member rookie boy group.

    Back in 2018, Yoon Sang, also known as Lee Yoon Sang, introduced his family to the public on the SBS program, 'Single Wife 2'.

    During the show, it was revealed that Yoon Sang's wife, actress Shim Hye Jin, along with their two sons, was living in New Jersey, United States. Despite being far from them, Yoon Sang has been supporting his family while pursuing a successful career as a music producer in Korea.

    Born in 2003, Yoon Sang's eldest son, Lee Chan Young, captured viewers' attention during 'Single Wife 2' with his captivating "flower boy" looks, even at a young age. Some netizens even hailed him as a strong contender for the title of "the most handsome celebrity son".

    In 2020, Yoon Sang mentioned on the MBC program 'South Korean Foreigners' that his son had given up swimming to follow in his footsteps in the music industry. Yoon Sang commended his son's songwriting skills, acknowledging his talent as a high schooler.

    Meanwhile, SM Entertainment's upcoming rookie boy group has been generating buzz after filming two music videos in Los Angeles, California.

    Scheduled to debut in September, the group comprises former NCT members Sungchan and Shotaro, S.M.ROOKIES members Eunseok and Seunghan, and three undisclosed trainees, one of whom speculations suggest might be Lee Chan Young.

    With the public eagerly awaiting more information about Lee Chan Young's involvement in the new boy group, a representative from SM Entertainment promised to reveal further details on August 1. This has only heightened the excitement among fans for the group's debut.

    Comments from netizens about Lee Chan Young:

    "His shoulders look pretty nice, probably because he was a swimmer."

    "Both his mom and dad are so good-looking, they've got it all!"

    "He reminds me of a mix between Hyungwon and Na Inwoo, especially in the last picture."

    "He's handsome, and I can see some resemblance to Mark."

    "Wait, so his name isn't Yoon Chanyoung? Interesting!"

    "I see traces of Mark and Jeno in him."

    "He's so handsome, he gives off Na Inwoo and Hyungwon vibes, with a hint of Jungkook in between. My heart feels warm just looking at him."

    "He brings back memories of Mark, Jungwoo, and Jeno."

    "Getting some Mark vibes from him!"

    "Am I the only one who sees a resemblance to Jungkook?"

  • 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.
