    ADOR shared, "NewJeans will be vibing with the crowd, performing their new bops 'How Sweet' and 'Bubble Gum'. We're asking for all the love and support from the fans to keep this going."

    NewJeans is kicking off their university tour starting from Korea University today, followed by Chosun University on May 27th, Dong-eui University and Busan University on May 28th, Dongguk University and Sejong University on May 30th, and wrapping up at Central University on May 31st.

  • Girls' Generation’s Choi Soo Young new photoshoot has everyone doing a double take — even her longtime boyfriend

    Girls' Generation’s Choi Soo Young is turning heads and making hearts race with her latest sizzling photo shoot!

    The stunning idol-turned-actress recently teamed up with W Korea for their June issue, and the results are nothing short of stunning.

    Posing in bold summer outfits like a daring denim crop top, mini skirt, and bodysuit, Soo Young showed off her flawless figure and next-level confidence.

    Fans couldn’t stop praising her strong model vibes and perfect proportions — she’s truly in her photo shoot queen era!

    Soo Young didn’t just look amazing — she also opened up about her latest acting challenge in the tvN drama “Please Send Me a Fan Letter,” where she plays the lead role.

    She shared, “I wanted to do a kind of acting that shows everything clearly. While filming, I focused on making people feel my emotions just by looking at my face.”

    She added, “When you act in a way that keeps people from changing the channel, it means adding just one more expression or emotion. So I told myself, ‘Let’s go all out.’ That helped me let go of some fear.”

    Talking about her character Han Geum Joo, she said, “Every actor prepares differently. For me, I think about their job first. Since Geum Joo is a car mechanic, I imagined her moving fast, doing tough work, and having a strong will to win from a young age.”

    She continued, “She works with machines and spends a lot of time with men, so I thought maybe she’s good at drinking. I pictured her as someone who might need a drink to relax. That helped me really understand her personality.”

    Choi Soo Young currently stars in tvN’s “Please Send Me a Fan Letter”, airing every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 PM KST — and with this kind of charisma, it’s no surprise fans are glued to their screens!
