• BTS Jin’s ‘Tuna Headband’ Sells Out Again, Maintaining His ‘Sold-Out King’ Status

    BTS’s Jin has once again shown why he’s called the ‘Sold-Out King’ as the tuna headband he wore during a recent live stream quickly sold out.

    On the night of October 10, Jin went live on Weverse, celebrating fellow member Jimin’s upcoming birthday. Jimin, who is currently serving in the military, has his birthday just a few days away. During the broadcast, Jin shared exciting news with his fans, announcing the release of the full version of his viral hit “Super Tuna.” Fans were thrilled as Jin revealed a special video and mentioned that the full version, including the second verse, would be available the next day.

    Shortly after the live, the tuna headband Jin wore became a hot item. The seller shared that orders surged after Jin wore it, and they quickly sold out. They thanked ARMY for their overwhelming support and promised a restock by the end of October.

    This isn’t the first time Jin has caused a product to sell out. Last month, when he went live from Milan while attending a Gucci show, the pajamas he wore during the broadcast also sold out. Even earlier in June, after his discharge from the military, the hat and t-shirt he wore in a group photo with his fellow BTS members sold out within minutes.

    Even while serving in the military, Jin’s influence hasn’t slowed down. From fashion items to food and drinks, anything associated with him sells out almost instantly, showing the true power of the ‘Jin Effect.’

    As a global ambassador for Gucci and Fred, Jin has worn high-end jewelry pieces that also sold out quickly. During Milan Fashion Week in September, the necklace he wore during the Gucci show sold out in the U.S., proving once again that his star power is unstoppable.

    Jin’s thoughts on these constant sell-outs remain humble. He’s often surprised but always grateful for the love and support from ARMY, showing his deep connection with fans even through moments like these. His ability to effortlessly turn any item into a must-have proves that Jin’s popularity is still as strong as ever.

  • 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.
