Actress Seohyun showed incredible determination by hosting the 2024 KBS Drama Awards despite dealing with a painful leg injury.

On December 31, Seohyun took on the role of MC at the prestigious award show, even though she had hurt her leg while filming for a drama. Fans were left in awe when a video surfaced showing Seohyun using a cane at the event, proving just how committed she was to fulfilling her duties as the MC.

Reports confirmed that Seohyun has been focusing on treating her leg injury, but it didn’t stop her from showing up and giving her best. Despite the pain, she managed to complete the recording of the awards show without missing a beat!

Originally set to air live, the 2024 KBS Drama Awards had to be pre-recorded due to the tragic Jeju Air plane crash. After some discussions, it was decided that the event would be aired later.

In the meantime, Seohyun is currently working on her new role in the KBS2 drama The First Night of the Host (Namju-ui Cheotnalbam-eul Gajyeobeoltta), proving once again her dedication to her craft. Fans are cheering for her strength and wishing her a speedy recovery.

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.
