Kim Chaewon, the leader of LE SSERAFIM, wrote some words for a fan on Weverse. These words have moved a lot of fans on SNS and in online communities.

About a month ago, Kim Chaewon was seen responding to a fan who seemed to be dealing with depression and feelings of not being good enough.

The fan wrote in, "I am having a terrible day. I made a mistake today. I'm not happy with myself. I'm so sad that I don't even want to live anymore. So, what about you?"

Kim Chaewon replied by first sharing a quote by Steve Maraboli that said, "We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regret things in our past. But you are not your mistakes, you are not your struggles, and you are here now with the power to shape your day and your future."

Also, the idol had written in Korean, "It's okay. You did good. Everyone makes mistakes. We learn from the things we do wrong. I make numerous mistakes. Still, we have to live. We have to live if we want to meet each other. Don't you want to know what our next album will be like? I promise it won't be a joke."

Many netizens agreed with both the fan as well as the LE SSERAFIM member's comment threads and said:

I've also been really sad and just waited for my favorite artist's next album. Even now, it hurts me to think about how that time just went by.

Yes, that kind of thing helps a lot when you're feeling down. I went through something like that, and all I could do was wait for the next season of my favorite show. After a while, I started to feel better.

I'm also interested in your next album, so I'll try to be happy so I can cheer you on when you come back.

For fans, the reason we live is to wait for the next comeback, the next episode, or the next book.

I'm still holding on too, TT.

This is sad and moves me, TT.

She thinks in a very healthy way. I like her because of that.

She is so nice and caring.

Wow, I used to be like that… I thought to myself, "I'll just live till the next comeback, until the next concert."

What are your thoughts?

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.
