BTS RM shares news of eye injury, got 5 stitches while filming
RM recently revealed that he had suffered an injury while filming. During a live broadcast on the fan community platform Weverse, RM surprised fans by showing up with medical tape near his eye.
During the broadcast, RM explained, "I had to get five stitches. It happened while I was filming, and the camera got too close, causing it to rub against my eye and cause the injury. I had to stop filming right away and seek medical attention, where I received the stitches. Fortunately, it's completely healed now."
In addition, RM mentioned, "Although there is some bruising, it seems like there might be a scar," indicating that there was bleeding and the injury could potentially leave a permanent mark.
RM debuted as a member of BTS in 2013, and the group has gained worldwide recognition with chart-topping hits such as 'Dynamite,' 'Boy with Luv,' 'Spring Day,' 'Butter,' 'Fake Love,' and 'DNA.'
Currently, the BTS members are fulfilling their mandatory military service obligations in a sequential manner.
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.
