In the midst of a tense situation between HYBE and ADOR, the girls of NewJeans have shown their unwavering strength.

Despite facing tough times, they've put their fans, affectionately known as Bunnies, first and continue to cheer them on.

NewJeans' Minji took to the fan community on May 18th to reassure their supporters, saying, "NewJeans is tougher than you Bunnies might think."

She added, "We're like bouncy rabbits with grit. And the gun? That's just a joke. It's a love bullet."

Earlier, Danielle from the group also reached out to fans directly to comfort them.

Last month, on April 8th, she shared, "I know some Bunnies are worried because I've been quieter than usual. I'm really grateful for your concern and support," expressing his heartfelt thanks.

She went on to say, "Even though things are tough right now, we're all working hard and getting ready for you Bunnies, so don't worry," and hinted at future plans, "We have a lot we want to show you, so stay tuned."

In other news, HYBE recently underwent an audit, alleging that ADOR's representative Min Hee Jin and other executives were trying to take over.

HYBE claimed to have found evidence of embezzlement by Min and ADOR's board of directors through the audit results, and accused ADOR of business embezzlement.

Min held a press conference last month on April 25th, denying the allegations of embezzlement. She stated, "I never tried to take over," and "I'm just a salaried president, I have no reason or motive. There's no embezzlement."

However, HYBE viewed this as an attempt to take over and proposed the dismissal of Min and the board of directors at ADOR's temporary shareholders' meeting. Since HYBE owns 80% of ADOR's shares, if the proposal is accepted, Min will be dismissed.

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.
