K-Pop fans worldwide are buzzing about a potential feud between two popular girl groups, (G)I-DLE and LE SSERAFIM.

The controversy centers on lyrics in (G)I-DLE's latest English mini album, HEAT. But is there any truth to these claims?

When (G)I-DLE dropped their title track, "I Want That," some fans thought they heard a dig at LE SSERAFIM.

This misunderstanding stemmed from a misheard lyric in the chorus, with people thinking it said, "I want that remix, ain't no serafim."

However, it was later clarified to be "I want that, oui, merci, no, c'est la vie." So, how did this connection between the lyrics and the groups emerge?

Firstly, some fans pointed out similarities between "I Want That" and LE SSERAFIM's track "Eve, Psyche, and The Bluebeard's Wife."

Given that LE SSERAFIM's song made waves earlier in the year, it's not unreasonable for fans to draw comparisons between two songs with a similar vibe and genre. But drawing inspiration from popular trends is a common practice in the music industry.

Another reason for the speculation may be Source Music's promotional strategies for LE SSERAFIM. Even though "Eve, Psyche, and The Bluebeard's Wife" was a B-side track, it gained significant attention.

To capitalize on its unexpected popularity, Source Music released a series of remixes with well-known international artists like Upsahl, Rina Sawayama, and even Demi Lovato, all within a month.

This strategic promotion might have led fans to find the misheard lyrics amusing and claim they were a "diss."

Some fans are taking the supposed diss lightly, suggesting that the resemblance in the lyrics is just a playful joke since they sound alike.

Misinterpreting lyrics or blowing things out of proportion is not uncommon among fans.

While the music industry does see friendly competition and occasional feuds, it's essential to ensure that rumors don't get exaggerated. Misheard lyrics can lead to misunderstandings, as seen in this case with (G)I-DLE and LE SSERAFIM.

With the actual lyrics of "I Want That" by (G)I-DLE now confirmed, it's safe to say that the claims are untrue for now.

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.
