P1Harmony is reaching for the stars with their new release, aiming for a spot in the Billboard Top 10!

On the September 18th episode of Weekly Idol, the group talked about their goals for their upcoming mini-album SAD SONG, which is set to drop on September 20.

During the show, the host brought up their past achievements, saying, "P1Harmony's first full album DISHARMONY: FIND OUT helped them reach 1st place on a public broadcast and rank 39th on the Billboard chart." He then asked what new records they wanted to break with their latest comeback.

Theo shared, "I want to win 1st place on a public broadcast again." Jongseob added, "I want to perform on a big stage like the MAMA awards."

But Intak had an even bigger dream in mind. "Since we reached 39th place on Billboard before, I want to aim for the top 10 this time," he boldly declared. The other members quickly agreed, with Boom encouraging them, "You have to make it!" and the group confidently replying, "We have to!"

Fans are excited to see if P1Harmony can achieve their ambitious goals with SAD SONG. Stay tuned!

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.
