• NewJeans' Minji Opens Up About Min Hee Jin's Dismissal: "I Couldn't Do Anything"

    NewJeans' Minji has shared her feelings following the recent dismissal of ADOR's CEO, Min Hee Jin.

    On September 2, Minji took to NewJeans' app, Phoning, to express her thoughts. She said, "The weather is so nice. I wanted summer to end quickly because of the heat, but now that autumn is coming, I feel unsettled."

    She continued, "There are things that happened recently and before that I wanted to share, but I haven't been able to. It's already been about a week. I wanted to tell the Bunnies who comforted and supported me that I'm okay and give them comfort in return, but I just couldn’t this time."

    With the ongoing conflict between HYBE and ADOR, Min Hee Jin was dismissed as CEO of ADOR, and Kim Joo Young, an internal director, was appointed as the new CEO. Minji’s words seem to reflect her struggle with these changes.

    Minji expressed her frustration, saying, "There aren't enough hours in the day to talk about good things, so it feels so unfair to go through these unnecessary hardships. I’m really sorry, and I’m so frustrated that I can't solve anything. Even as I’m writing this now, just like yesterday, there’s nothing I can do, and nothing has been resolved."

    She added, "I don’t know how long these anxious days will last, and saying this might be selfish, but I hope that our Bunnies and we don’t have to go through any more tough times."

    Meanwhile, HYBE conducted an audit in April, accusing Min Hee Jin and Vice President A of trying to take control of the management. They even filed a complaint against them for breach of duty. However, Min Hee Jin has denied these allegations, holding an emergency press conference, and the conflict is still ongoing.

  • Shim Hyung Tak Reveals His Son for the First Time—Even the Cast Says He Looks Like BTS’s Jungkook

    Shim Hyung Tak has introduced his newborn son, and people can’t stop talking about how much he resembles BTS’s Jungkook!

    On the February 26 episode of Channel A’s Men’s Life These Days: Groom Class, the show gave viewers an update on Shim Hyung Tak and his wife Saya after they welcomed their baby boy.

    During the show, Lee Seung Chul couldn’t help but notice how exhausted Shim looked from parenting duties.

    Shim explained, “I was up with the baby until 6:30 AM today. I take care of him from 11 PM to 7 AM while my wife sleeps. Then, when she wakes up, I sleep, and we take turns raising him together.”

    Shim also opened up about his wife’s tough labor experience. He shared, “She was in labor for 12 hours. A nurse even told me, ‘The mother was incredible. She endured the pain without even groaning.’” He expressed how grateful he was to his wife for her strength.

    As the couple moved into a postpartum care center, they finally revealed their baby’s face for the first time. The cast members were in awe, exclaiming, “He’s so beautiful!”

    Moon Se Yoon couldn’t hold back his reaction and joked, “He looks exactly like his mom and dad. Did he get a nose job before he was born?”

    Shim Jin Hwa then made a surprising comment, saying, “I think he looks more like BTS’s Jungkook than his dad.” To this, Shim Hyung Tak laughed and replied, “I hope so.” Moon Se Yoon added, “He’s definitely going to be more handsome than you.”

    Fans are already excited to see more of Shim Hyung Tak’s son, wondering if he’ll grow up to be as charming as Jungkook!
