An idol colleague whom singer G-Dragon met at the exhibition drew attention.

On the 23rd, G-Dragon posted photos on his Instagram story to commemorate his first solo exhibition visit by American architect and sculptor Tom Sachs. The picture was mainly taken from the back of him looking at the work.

On the same day, an Instagram account of a girl group member also showed his back. It was T-ARA's HYOMIN.

On the same day, HYOMIN shared photos and works taken side by side with Tom Sachs. Among the photos were G-Dragon's backside, who was listening to Tom Sachs' daughter in person.

Tom Sachs is a sculptor who is attracting attention as a "brick collage", an act of fixing and making something using various materials or tools.

In Korea, G-Dragon made his name known for his "Nike X Tom Sachs Masyard" shoe work worn by G-Dragon.

Shoes, which were 239,000 won when they were first released in 2017, were sold with more than 10 million won after wearing G-Dragon.

Perhaps because of this special connection, Tom Sachs also shared G-Dragon's appearance on his Instagram.

The exhibition will be held at the Art Sunjae Center in Jongno-gu, Seoul, and Tadeus Lopak Seoul and Hive Insight in Yongsan-gu.

Meanwhile, G-Dragon has recently been rumored to have split up after rumors of a romantic relationship with BLACKPINK's Jennie. The two did not offer any position on the issue.

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.
