The K-Pop girl group NewJeans became famous all over the world overnight. Their arrival was so important and successful that they now hold the record for the most albums sold in the first week of an album's release. This is true even though their first single, "Attention," came out of the blue.

Some might say that no one could have known how big NewJeans would become, but the members had unwavering faith in themselves and their company's CEO, Min Hee Jin, who was in charge of branding famous SM Entertainment groups like Girls' Generation, SHINee, f(x), EXO, and Red Velvet.

When asked on the variety show "You Quiz On The Block" how they felt when they heard that "Attention" and "Hype Boy" were at the top of the charts, Minji said, "We heard "Attention" two years before the debut. We did it every day for two years, but we never got sick and tired of it. So we knew that "Attention" would be popular."

Yoo Jae Suk's eyes and mouth opened wide when he heard that the girls had been practicing the same song for more than two years.

Min Hee Jin said that when she went to "You Quiz On The Block" in December 2021, all of NewJeans' songs were already done, but she couldn't talk about them.

In the long run, the NewJeans members and Min Hee Jin's hard work and patience paid off. Some people might not have seen it coming, but the girls had worked hard for years, so they were sure they would do well.

Min Hee Jin told them that she hoped they would keep doing well and be happy now that they were out in the world.

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.
