• BIGBANG's Daesung says he wants to get married before turning 40 with "separate rooms"

    BIGBANG's very own Daesung has spilled the beans on his dream of getting hitched.

    On April 12th, a video uploaded in Daesung's YouTube Channel. The video featured Daesung, Taeyang, Beenzino, and Joo Won, all sharing a variety of stories.

    Daesung opened up about his YouTube journey, saying, "I'm always at home, so the production team is the one pulling me out. I want to meet people and explore the world." He also admitted, "If I step out like this today, I actually won't have any connections for the next episode."

    He added, "I'm trying to widen my circle through this," but Joo Won was quick to point out, "I don't think it will expand that much. We do meet, but there's nothing after that. To get close, you have to keep in touch, but that's not your style."

    Beenzino, who's always on the go, confessed, "I envy being at home. It's also nice to see my husband working. I recommend it," hinting at marriage.

    Daesung expressed, "I want to do it before I turn 40," and Taeyang suggested, "Through this, Daesung will find a partner and truly settle down when he gets married."

    Daesung pondered, "We've been together for a year and a half, what kind of woman would be good for me to meet?" and revealed that "having separate rooms is a marriage dream."

    In response, Taeyang said, "There is a house, but each room is separate, and it's good to live separately outside of the set time. If I do that, I don't think I can get married."

    Beenzino, who is married, shared, "Values shatter before marriage. There are things that need to be aligned, so both the other person and I have parts that break."

    Taeyang revealed, "Daesung gets exhausted because he tries too hard to adjust. There was no problem when we lived together in the BIGBANG dormitory, but he struggled alone. Daesung might want to be alone at home because he pours out energy when he goes out and meets people."

  • 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.
