Actor Kim Soo Hyun is all set to lend his voice for the OST of his popular drama, 'Queen of Tears'.

As confirmed by both the drama's production house and Kim Soo Hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, on April 18th, the actor has indeed participated in the OST of his tvN weekend drama.

'Queen of Tears' is a captivating tale of love rekindled amidst a whirlwind of crises faced by a married couple of three years.

The story revolves around Hong Hae In, the reigning queen of a department store and the third generation of the Queens Group, and Baek Hyun Woo, the son of a market leader and the prince of a supermarket. Kim Soo Hyun is seen passionately portraying the character of Baek Hyun Woo.

It's been nearly a decade since Kim Soo Hyun last graced an OST with his voice. His previous contributions include the tracks 'If I' and 'Promise' for the SBS drama 'My Love from the Star' back in 2014.

He has also showcased his vocal prowess in the OSTs of KBS 2TV's 'Dream High' and MBC's 'The Moon Embracing the Sun'.

The team behind 'Queen of Tears' shared with Star News, "Kim Soo Hyun recently participated in the OST recording. Both the production team and Kim Soo Hyun are eager to give back to the viewers who have showered the drama with immense love."

They further added, "Stay tuned to the broadcast to find out which scene will feature which song."

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.
