An idol clearing up rumors that she's rich

TOP 4 misunderstandings about Minnie

Q: Is Minnie rich?

Jonathan: Just address it here for the last time!

Minnie: I'm not rich. I mean, going around saying 'I am rich' is weird. There are so many people out there who are incredibly rich, so how could I call myself rich?

Q: Do your grandparents own a resort in Thailand?

Minnie: My mom runs it now. My grandparents used to run it, but they recently passed it down to my mom.

-Jonathanㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Jonathan's face = My face

-Yeah, we generally call that 'rich.'

-Well, there were rumors about her being from a noble? royal? familyㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Just because there are people richer than you doesn't mean that you're not richㅠㅠ

-Rich people always be like, 'I'm not chaebol-level wealthy. Therefore, I'm not rich. I'm actually poorㅠ'

-In our country, we consider people who have something to inherit as rich.

-Well, she can't exactly go around saying she's richㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's probably better to deny it and get less hate. If she admitted to being rich, she'd get even more criticism.

-Jonathan's facial expression said everything that needed to be saidㅋㅋ

-? Her standards must be really high. Most of us would definitely call that rich.

-I love how Jonathan doesn't even try to hide his expressionㅋㅋㅋㅋ Just admit that you have tons of moneyㅋㅋㅋ

-I understand what Minnie is trying to say, but she's definitely richㅋㅋㅋ

-You own a resort, but you're not rich...???

-A resort is definitely not something that working-class people can ownㅠ

-She may not be chaebol, but she's definitely rich.

'Teach You a Lesson' star Kim Muyeol: "If there's a Season 2, I hope John Cena makes a cameo appearance"

Kim Muyeol expressed his gratitude toward John Cena for giving him a shout-out.

On the 12th, Kim Muyeol sat down for an interview with iMBC Entertainment in Seoul to discuss the Netflix series 'Teach You a Lesson.'

'Teach You a Lesson' tells the story of the Teacher Rights Protection Bureau, an organization established to protect South Korea's collapsing education system from students, teachers, and parents who cross the line. The series is directed by Director Hong Jongchan, who is known for works like 'Juvenile Justice' and 'Dear My Friends,' and written by Writer Lee Namgyu, who is known for 'Daily Dose of Sunshine' and 'The Light in Your Eyes.'

Always dressed in a black suit and appearing blunt on the outside, he consistently stands on the victims' sides and delivers justice to those threatening the school environment.

In response, Kim Muyeol responded wittily by leaving a comment, "Now you can see me."

During the interview, Kim Muyeol expressed his admiration for John Cena. He explained, "I've been a WWE fan since I was a kid, back when Hulk Logan and Warrior were champions. Watching John Cena succeed in WWE and then transition into acting, I felt that he wasn't just entertaining, but also very thoughtful and broad-minded." He added:

"When John Cena personally posted my photo, I thought a lot about how to respond. I wondered if I should post a photo of him too. After thinking about how to exprerss my gratitude, I decided to just leave a comment."

Regarding people pointing out their resemblance, Kim Muyeol nodded and said, "I agree to a large extent."

He also shared his hopes for John Cena to make a special cameo appearance if 'Teach You a Lesson' Season 2 gets produced, saying:

"It would be great if he could make an appearance (in 'Teach You a Lesson 2)."

Meanwhile, 'Teach You a Lesson' was released on June 5.

ADOR: "Danielle is different from the other NewJeans' members" ... Alleges breach of exclusive contract

According to a recent report by MyDaily, ADOR explained the reason why they filed a contract termination lawsuit specifically against Danielle alone.

On the 11th, the Seoul Central District Court held the second hearing in ADOR's damages lawsuit against Danielle, her family, and former ADOR CEO Min Heejin. During the hearing, ADOR stated:

"The reason why we requested the termination of the exclusive contract only with Danielle is because she engaged in independent activities that the other members did not."

They added, "Considering the role of Danielle's mother and the circumstances suggesting her involvement in this contract termination case, we concluded that it is difficult to maintain a relationship of trust."

ADOR continued, "Looking at the conversations exchanged by Min Heejin and others on the evening of the first injunction ruling regarding the suspension of the exclusive contact, there were discussions about filming an MV for Danielle's band feature project, contracts, and an album release following ComplexCon." They claimed, "We had invested approximately 240 billion KRW under the category of artist reorganization expenses."

Regarding to these circumstances, ADOR argued, "We had no choice but to conclude that there was absolutely no intention of accepting the injunction ruling," and added:

"There were also indications that Danielle's mother made comments encouraging the collaboration. The plaintiff only learned of these matters later and determined that they could no longer continue the contract with Danielle, therefore they notified her of the termination."

ADOR further stated:

"The defendant's side claims that this lawsuit has prevented Danielle from carrying out entertainment activities, but Danielle is completely free to promote as she wishes."

ADOR also revealed the reason why they are seeking damages from Min Heejin and Danielle's mother, saying:

"The Telegram conversations show that Min Heejin actively persuaded the members' parents to break the exclusive contracts, including planning things so they would not have to bear penalty fees and promising to prepare compensation funds."

ADOR added, "Danielle's mother played the most leading role among the parents who sided with Min Heejin's unlawful actions," and continued, "It is questionable whether this entire matter was carried out solely based on the NewJeans members' own decision-making."

Jay Park takes back his statement about joining LNGSHOT ... "It was just a joke for the haters"

According to TV Report, Jay Park took back his earlier statement that he would join LNGSHOT, the boy group he personally created.

On the 12th, Jay Park reposted a video that contained his recent remarks about joining LNGSHOT that was uploaded by an online magazine on his social media account and wrote:

"It was obviously just a joke for the haters. I can't believe it became a news article."

 

Previously on the 11th, Jay Park had stated:

"Next time, I will officially join LNGSHOT. That was my goal from the very beginning and nobody can stop me. I'm the one who founded the company and created the group."

He added, "I've been doing this for 20 years. Who would know better than me? All the narratives being created online mean nothing in real life. Just enjoy the music and their journey, or just sit back and watch from the sidelines."

He also added, "The LNGSHOT members respect and appreciate me, and I respect them as well and will take care of them when needed. We discuss and decide everything directly with LNGSHOT. That's a big honor and advantage early in a career."

LNGSHOT recently promoted their second mixtape '4SHOBOIZ Vol. 2: 4SHOVILLE,' which was released last month in collaboration with their agency's CEO, Jay Park. However, some critics pointed out that even considering it was a collaboration, Jay Park's presence was too dominant, noting that he often stood at the center spot on the stage, causing LNGSHOT's members to be overshadowed.

ADOR's side claims Min Heejin 'promised compensation if they left HYBE' to NewJeans' parents

According to a recent report by Ilgan Sports, ADOR claimed that former ADOR CEO Min Heejin (currently CEO of OOAK Records) actively orchestrated the termination of NewJeans members' exclusive contracts from behind the scenes.

During the second hearing of the damages lawsuit held by the Seoul Central District Court on the 11th, ADOR argued:

"It is undeniable that Min Heejin violated her duty of loyalty as an internal director and her duty of care as a manager. She encouraged the termination of the exclusive contracts."

ADOR's side presented social media conversation logs from October 2024 as evidence, emphasizing:

"The conversations show Min Heejin telling the NewJeans members' parents, 'I will personally design a plan so you would not suffer financial disadvantages' and 'I will prepare compensation if you left HYBE.' This prove that she actively persuaded and planned the termination of the exclusive contracts."

ADOR's side also pointed out that Danielle's family member also played a key role in the process. They raised suspicions by stating:

"They played the most leading role among the parents who sided with Min Heejin's unlawful actions."

ADOR further questioned, "In fact, it is questionable whether this entire matter was carried out solely based on the NewJeans members' own decision-making," adding:

"It appears that Min Heejin actively guided the process and Danielle's family member played the role as mediators between Min Heejin and the parents, as well as between the members themselves."

Meanwhile, ADOR is currently pursuing a damages lawsuit against Danielle, her family member, and former CEO Min Heejin on grounds of violating the exclusive contract. They have since reduced their claim from 43.1 billion KRW to 33.09 billion KRW.
