• "Are they okay now?" — G-Dragon's recent Instagram 'Like' sparks speculation

    G-Dragon recently hit the 'Like' button on an Instagram post.

    The post was from chef Hisato Hamada, who shared a picture of V from BTS during their visit to the restaurant WAGYUMAFIA last week. In the photo, V looked stylish in a white jacket with leopard prints, showcasing his unique fashion sense.

    People on the internet started talking about this 'Like' from G-Dragon. Some fans cautioned against jumping to conclusions or creating stories about G-Dragon and V based on this simple action. They mentioned that G-Dragon often interacts on Instagram by liking various posts.

    Furthermore, netizens pointed out that G-Dragon and V were both at the Frieze Seoul event, which took place at Paradise City Korea and was also attended by WAGYUMAFIA.

    Some netizens even shared screenshots of G-Dragon's 'Likes' from previous years. There were rumors that he might be using a bot to automatically like fan account photos and posts related to sponsorships every 2 to 3 seconds.

    In other news, G-Dragon and V have been linked to dating rumors with BLACKPINK's Jennie.

    Here are some reactions from fans:

    "Let's not read too much into it since G-Dragon was at the same event."

    "I know a friend who runs a G-Dragon fan account, and he liked her posts like three times, so don't take it too seriously."

    "G-Dragon seems to like posts with his name and BIGBANG in the @s and hashtags, so the rumors about him using a bot make sense. He attended that event and even DJed there."

    "No need to speculate about G-Dragon's likes."

    "We don't even know for sure if G-Dragon and Jennie dated."

    "I would have been more convinced if he had liked V's own post, but this is just an event."

    "I actually believe that G-Dragon and Jennie may have never dated."

    "G-Dragon is handling this so coolly."

    "The comments are funnier than the actual situation. Why are people denying that G-Dragon and Jennie dated?"

    "G-Dragon, the Instagram bot, haha!"

  • 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.
