• Clarifying the Misconception Surrounding NewJeans Vs. LE SSERAFIM Debut Party Photo Making Rounds Online

    Efforts have been made numerous times to take down posts about this issue. On April 25, 2024, ADOR’s Min Hee Jin held a press conference to share her perspective on the dispute with HYBE.

    During the conference, she claimed that HYBE had informed her of their plans to debut a girl group, now known as LE SSERAFIM, which consequently delayed NewJeans’ debut.

    She expressed feeling “betrayed” that LE SSERAFIM debuted first.

    Amidst the ongoing feud, a specific photo began circulating on various online community boards, alleging that NewJeans was treated unfairly.

    However, the original poster (OP) posted to clear up the confusion, revealing that LE SSERAFIM’s photo was of SOURCE MUSIC employees gathering to celebrate their debut. In contrast, NewJeans’ photo only included the members as they were being filmed for original content.

    Caption of the photo: This just shows how much NewJeans was ostracized within HYBE, due to Bang Si Hyuk.

    Most netizens were perplexed that people actually believed this was neglecting NewJeans and praised the OP for correcting the misunderstanding.

    Comments from netizens included:

    “That’s just their labels congratulating them…who are these idiots that believe this.”

    “Wow, how are people seeing this as ostracism? So childish…this is just something the labels prepared for their own groups.”

    “Why are they talking about neglect…NewJeans received so much through the impact of BTS.”

    NewJeans’ fans continued to correct this misunderstanding, saying it was filming for original content, yet they didn’t take it down.”

    “What do they mean neglect…you need some sense knocked into you.”

    “This is too much.”

    “Anyone can tell that NewJeans is filming something. Those who aren’t even fans getting mad over this, these types of people are useless for girl groups.”

    “But isn’t this not neglect from HYBE, but neglect from ADOR.”

    “Thanks to the OP for the correction.” “Yeah, that picture is just of SOURCE MUSIC congratulating the girls…”

    Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

    On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

    During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

    She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

    She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

    When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

    "It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

    However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

    She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

    Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
