The recent press conference held by Min Hee Jin, CEO of ADOR, has stirred quite a buzz. What caught everyone's attention? Her outfit, which bears an uncanny resemblance to the one worn by NewJeans's Minji in her comeback teaser.

On April 25th, Min Hee Jin urgently addressed controversies surrounding her, including allegations of usurping management rights at ADOR. Alongside her legal representative, she faced the media head-on.

Min Hee Jin's attire that day featured a green striped sweatshirt and a blue baseball cap. This ensemble quickly became known as the "Min Hee Jin look."

Interestingly, the green striped shirt, sourced from a Japanese fashion brand, sold out on their official website right after the press conference. The blue cap also vanished from certain domestic sites.

On April 26th, NewJeans unveiled a double single jacket photo for their track "How Sweet." And guess what? Minji's outfit in the photo bore striking similarities to Min Hee Jin's press conference attire. Minji rocked a green striped T-shirt and a purple baseball cap.

Netizens are abuzz with theories. Was Min Hee Jin intentionally donning this outfit as part of NewJeans's promotional strategy for their upcoming album?

Despite the ongoing dispute with HYBE, Min Hee Jin actively supported NewJeans by sharing the "How Sweet" jacket photo on her social media.

Keep an eye out for NewJeans's music video release! "Bubble Gum," one of the tracks from their upcoming double single, is set to drop on May 27th via the HYBE Labels channel.

Actress Lim Ji Yeon is finally opening up about the unexpected backlash she received after showing support for actor Jung Woo Sung during his controversial return to the public eye.

In an interview on January 23rd, following the end of her drama The Tale of Lady Ok, Lim Ji Yeon spoke candidly about the situation that caused a stir at the 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards in November last year.

At the event, Jung Woo Sung made his public return after facing controversy surrounding an “illegitimate child” with model Moon Ga Bi. While Jung Woo Sung took the stage to apologize, Lim Ji Yeon was seen clapping and cheering for him.

Reflecting on that moment, Lim Ji Yeon shared, "It was a brief moment, so it’s hard to say whether it was right or wrong." She added, "I didn’t expect the public’s reaction. On the other hand, I was cautious since The Tale of Lady Ok was airing at the time."

For those who missed it, Jung Woo Sung and Moon Ga Bi, who had been in a relationship since 2022, revealed last year that they were expecting a child.

The actor took full responsibility for the situation and issued an apology during the awards ceremony, saying, "I’m sorry for causing concern and disappointment to everyone who has shown me love and support. I will bear all the criticism, and I promise to take full responsibility as a father to my son".

However, while Jung Woo Sung addressed the controversy, it was Lim Ji Yeon’s show of support that sparked controversy.

She cheered enthusiastically for Jung Woo Sung, while actress Hye Ri, who was seated next to her, kept a neutral, expressionless face. This led to a wave of criticism from some netizens who questioned Lim Ji Yeon’s reaction.

It’s worth noting that Lim Ji Yeon’s agency, Artist Company, was co-founded by Jung Woo Sung and actor Lee Jung Jae, both of whom currently serve as directors.

Could this connection have influenced Lim Ji Yeon’s public display of support? She’s still processing the response, and fans are curious to know how she’ll handle the fallout moving forward.
