NewJeans' Minji recently opened up about her thoughts on the group’s popularity, sharing how her perspective changed thanks to their fans.

In a new photoshoot and interview with Dazed magazine, Minji showed off her versatile charm, effortlessly pulling off different styles, from bold black and white to soft pastel tones. Her natural elegance and fun personality shined throughout the shoot, capturing everyone’s attention.

During the interview, Minji got candid about how she felt when NewJeans' popularity skyrocketed. She said, "At first, I thought it was too much, more than we deserved. But when I looked into the eyes of Bunnies (NewJeans' fans) during performances, I saw how sincere their support and love were."

She went on to explain how this shifted her mindset: "At some point, I realized that it wasn’t right for me to think that way. There are people who love me no matter what, and it started to feel like there wasn't enough time to waste just worrying." This realization helped her see things differently and motivated her to keep pushing forward.

Minji also shared how this connection with fans made her want to become someone they can continue to be proud of, saying, "So now I want to work even harder to become someone I can be proud of, no matter where I am." She then added, “Saying 'thank you' doesn’t feel enough to express how grateful I am,” showing her deep appreciation for their love and support.

Fans can find the full pictorial and interview in the November issue of Dazed, as well as on their official website and social media channels.

Minji’s heartfelt words are a reminder of how much her fans mean to her, and her dedication to always giving her best shines through!

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!
