• NewJeans Shocks Fans with Plans for a New Temporary Name — "We Want to Hear From You"

    NewJeans (Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, Hyein) surprised fans by announcing they’ll use a temporary activity name and are asking their fans, “Bunnies,” to help choose it!

    On January 23, the group took to their newly launched social media account, sharing, “Bunnies! We’re accepting suggestions for a new activity name that we’ll use for a certain period of time. Please participate in the comments!” They added, “Please share lots of good name ideas, and we’ll pick one!” Fans were thrilled by the announcement and flooded the comments with creative ideas.

    This announcement comes after a major dispute last November, where NewJeans held an emergency press conference to demand the termination of their exclusive contract with ADOR and announce their decision to leave HYBE.

    During the press conference, the members didn’t hold back, stating, “The reason we are leaving ADOR is very simple. NewJeans is an artist under ADOR, and ADOR has a duty to protect us. However, ADOR lacks both the willingness and the capability to protect NewJeans. Staying here would be a waste of time, and the mental anguish would only continue. More importantly, we see no professional benefit to remaining under ADOR. The five of us see no reason to stay.”

    Since then, NewJeans has been taking steps toward a fresh start. In December, they created a new social media account under the name “jeanz for free,” signaling their independence from ADOR and HYBE. On January 23, the group also announced that they had appointed law firm Sejong as their legal representative to handle the ongoing legal battle.

    In a firm statement, NewJeans declared, “We want to be clear. The five of us have no intention of ever returning to HYBE or ADOR, where even the minimum expectations of good faith cannot be met. Through legal proceedings, we will expose the wrongdoings of ADOR and HYBE, reveal the truth, and fight confidently in court.”

    Fans are standing strong behind the group, eagerly waiting to see what their temporary name will be and how their journey will unfold. Bunnies, what name would you suggest?

  • Former S.E.S Shoo brings her twin daughters to a night market and reveals emotional story: “I once sold clothes just to get by”

    Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

    On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

    The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

    Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

    Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

    Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

    Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

    Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
