Singer Gummy showed her dedication as a mom by turning down drinks to take care of her child!

On May 9, a new video was uploaded to the Jip Daesung YouTube channel, featuring Gummy and hip-hop duo Dynamic Duo as guests.

When the food arrived, the staff told Dynamic Duo they could order alcohol, with Daesung adding, "This is all for the guests' comfort!"

Choiza then politely offered Gummy the choice, saying, "Let’s drink whatever Gummy wants." But the singer quickly declined, explaining, "I can’t drink today—I have to pick up my daughter."

Things got a little awkward when Daesung, the youngest, brought out soju. As he hesitated over who to serve first—Choiza or Gaeko—Gummy playfully scolded him like a mom, asking, "How do you even survive like this?"

Choiza joked, "Gummy got over her awkwardness after having a kid," but Gummy clarified, "I was never like this to begin with!" Laughing, Choiza admitted, "Actually, Daesung seems even more awkward than Gummy."

Daesung then shared a funny confession: "My sister says I have ‘beggar’s disease’—if I mess up on stage, I can’t stop thinking about it."

Choiza teased, "People around those with ‘beggar’s disease’ have it easy because they’re always reflecting on themselves."

Gummy disagreed, saying, "No, it’s actually hard to deal with them!"—only for Choiza to fire back, "You have it too!"

As Daesung kept goofing around, Gummy groaned, "Ugh, why are you making me want to drink so badly?"

Choiza suggested, "Just let your husband handle pickup today!" Though Gummy admitted, "Jo Jung Suk could do it," she still stuck to water, proving her commitment to mom duties!

Fans loved seeing her responsible yet relatable side—what a queen!

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.
