In the midst of a tense situation between HYBE and ADOR, the girls of NewJeans have shown their unwavering strength.

Despite facing tough times, they've put their fans, affectionately known as Bunnies, first and continue to cheer them on.

NewJeans' Minji took to the fan community on May 18th to reassure their supporters, saying, "NewJeans is tougher than you Bunnies might think."

She added, "We're like bouncy rabbits with grit. And the gun? That's just a joke. It's a love bullet."

Earlier, Danielle from the group also reached out to fans directly to comfort them.

Last month, on April 8th, she shared, "I know some Bunnies are worried because I've been quieter than usual. I'm really grateful for your concern and support," expressing his heartfelt thanks.

She went on to say, "Even though things are tough right now, we're all working hard and getting ready for you Bunnies, so don't worry," and hinted at future plans, "We have a lot we want to show you, so stay tuned."

In other news, HYBE recently underwent an audit, alleging that ADOR's representative Min Hee Jin and other executives were trying to take over.

HYBE claimed to have found evidence of embezzlement by Min and ADOR's board of directors through the audit results, and accused ADOR of business embezzlement.

Min held a press conference last month on April 25th, denying the allegations of embezzlement. She stated, "I never tried to take over," and "I'm just a salaried president, I have no reason or motive. There's no embezzlement."

However, HYBE viewed this as an attempt to take over and proposed the dismissal of Min and the board of directors at ADOR's temporary shareholders' meeting. Since HYBE owns 80% of ADOR's shares, if the proposal is accepted, Min will be dismissed.

During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

“I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

“In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
