Singer and actress Jung Eun Ji visited "Problem Child in House" and shared the secret story of a smoking scene filmed with a smoke-free plant.

On the afternoon of February 15th, KBS 2TV's entertainment program "Problem Child in House", Apink's Park Cho Rong , Jung Eun Ji, Kim Nam Joo, and Oh Ha Young challenged a quiz on the 10th anniversary of their debut.

Jung Eun Ji, who gained a lot of attention for her reckless profanity in the drama "Work Later, Drink Now", which recently ended with a lot of love, nailed it, saying, "It's a scene that came out with thorough practice". She acted according to the script without ad-libs, but she was satisfied with her performance of a swear word to the extent that even the director was embarrassed.

In addition, Jung Eun Ji said, "I contacted my parents in advance about the smoking scene in the drama, 'Don't worry, because it's a smoking cessation'".

However, her parents forgot about the story and stopped acting without saying anything in shock while watching the drama while eating. Jung Eun Ji added, "My parents said they couldn't get angry and only watched TV without saying a word".

On the other hand, KBS 2TV's "Problem Child in House" is a quiz program in which Kim Yong Man, Song Eun I, Kim Sook, Jeong Hyeong Don, and Min Kyung Hoon solve common sense problems with the 'power of collective intelligence'.

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.
