    Kim Soo Hyun brought his signature energy to MBC’s Good Day, and he didn’t hesitate to let everyone know just how close he is with Jung Hae In!

    On the February 23 episode, the '88 Friends' group—featuring stars born in 1988—gathered for the first time. While some members felt a bit awkward, Kim Soo Hyun had no problem breaking the ice.

    As soon as he arrived, he confidently introduced himself, saying, "I’m Kim Soo Hyun, born in 1988!" His bright personality immediately lightened the mood in the room.

    But what really caught attention was how comfortable he was with Jung Hae In. While some of the other members hesitated in conversation, Kim Soo Hyun casually greeted Jung Hae In like an old friend—and even made a surprising statement.

    “We’re close enough to travel together,” he declared, making it clear that their friendship is strong.

    Jung Hae In, who seemed a little shy earlier, relaxed instantly when talking to Kim Soo Hyun. The two were seen naturally chatting, proving they really are close friends in real life.

    With Kim Soo Hyun leading the way, the rest of the group gradually loosened up. Even Kwanghee, a variety show veteran, admitted he was nervous about being back on TV, but Kim Soo Hyun’s playful energy helped ease the tension.

    As the show continued, the group bonded over casual conversations, games, and personal stories.

    Fans are already loving this episode, with many commenting on how Kim Soo Hyun’s fun and confident personality stood out. With his natural charm, it’s no surprise he was able to bring everyone together effortlessly.

  • NewJeans' Fandom Divided Over Lawsuit — Truck Protest Outside HYBE Raises Concerns about Massive Financial Penalties

    The NewJeans contract dispute is getting more intense, and now, some fans have started a truck protest urging ADOR to talk things out.

    On March 27, trucks were spotted in front of HYBE’s headquarters in Yongsan, Seoul, displaying messages like “We respect NewJeans, but we can’t let them walk a dangerous path” and NewJeans has 6 members, but the penalty is for 5.”

    These protesting fans are worried about NewJeans’ decision to keep fighting the lawsuit despite the court already ruling in ADOR’s favor. They warn that if NewJeans loses the main case, the financial penalty could be massive.

    The court previously dismissed the group’s claims for contract termination, raising concerns that the members could face even bigger disadvantages in the next trial.

    NewJeans first notified ADOR of their contract termination last November and later rebranded as NJZ, preparing for independent activities.

    However, the court sided with ADOR, stating there was "not enough reason to justify ending the contract." Despite this, NewJeans has filed an objection, and a new hearing is set for April 9.

    The group firmly claims that “trust with ADOR is completely broken, and we cannot work together anymore.” But inside the fandom, opinions are split—some want to support the members no matter what, while others worry that “this fight might only hurt them in the end.”
