Previously, Yuk Junseo had revealed through various platforms that he broke his nose during a boxing match. On his Youtube channel, he explained, "My nose was broken during a real boxing match. Because I delayed the surgery, my nose has bent into a C-shape now. This isn't for cosmetic purposes, it's a reconstructive surgery to make my nose straight again."

At the time, he also shared that he suffered an eardrum and elbow injury, drawing sympathy.

Yuk Junseo is a former UDT member who first gained recognition through the show 'Steel Troops' and later became even more popular after appearing on Netflix's 'Single's Inferno 4.'

'She was called 'Kim'' NewJeans' Minji finally left South Korea? ... Fans speculate over a single blurry photo

Rumors that NewJeans' Minji was spotted in London is becoming a hot topic online.

Recently, a post by a netizen who claimed to have seen Minji in London spread through online communities. The poster wrote, "I ran into two Korean women in the morning. One of them, wearing a black beanie and a leather puffer jacket, looks just like Minji. Her eyes and mouth especially looked similar, but I couldn't confirm it directly because they were far away."

The poster continued, "I heard the person next to her call her 'Kim.' If it really was Minji, I think I was very lucky."

The photo released in the post shows two women looking at their phones. Because the photo is blurry and taken from a distance, it's hard to tell if it's actually Minji. Nonetheless, fans are expressing their excitement as this is the first rumored update about Minji in a while.

Last month, there were also multiple online people on the internet who claimed to have spotted another NewJeans' member, Hanni, in Australia.

Meanwhile, following the legal dispute with their agency ADOR, the public is now focusing their attention on the members' future activities. As some members have expressed their intentions to return, the public is also looking forward to Minji's next move. 

TOP COMMENTS:

1. [+356][-129] Just let them flop so Min Heejin can pick them up and start over. The girls definitely look much better and prettier when Min Heejin handles the concepts and styling.

2. [+154][-62] Even if Min Heejin made a big mistake, they should have solved it internally or disciplined her for the sake of NewJeans instead of exposing it to the media. In the end, despite the company hiring dozens of high-level lawyers, the police found no evidence of breach of trust, and the court ruled in Min Heejin's favor... So, it's a shame. And isn't this whole 'uncle' controversy just a butterfly effect from when Min Heejin resigned?

3. [+354][-97] Well, the group is ruined now anyway... They each have to find their own way to survive.

4. [+146][-48] Who is the one that blocked NewJeans' future?

5. [+69][-40] Do they even have kalguksu restaurants in the UK too????

On the 14th, Keumjo personally shared the news of her pregnancy through her social media account, saying, "I would like to carefully share the news of my pregnancy with all of you."

She shared the special story behind her pregnancy as she wrote, "I developed a habit of sending text messages to my father, even though I know I wouldn't get a reply. We started planning for a baby in April, but it didn't happen easily. We were both very healthy, so I wondered why. Around the time I started to feel exhausted of trying, I asked my father for the first time, 'You feel sorry for leaving me alone, right? Then please send me a baby.' And then, on my birthday, December 17th, I saw the two lines on the test like a gift."

She revealed that the baby's nickname is 'Parang' (NB: Blue), adding, "Blue has always been my favorite color, and I really wished for my first child to be a son who resembles my husband, so I added a spoonful of hope. Just as I wished, the Genu test results show that the baby is a boy."

Keumjo also wrote, "Parang-ie, let's meet healthily in the fresh and green August," expressing the joy of an expectant mother.

Keumjo was active as a member of Nine Muses from 2015 to 2019. In 2022, she married musical actor Baek Kibum.

At the time of her wedding, Keumjo shared her feelings, saying, "The wedding ended well with many congratulations! The thing I heard most today was, 'Why are you so strong?' while my husband kept crying next to me. An auntie suddenly handed me tissues, and when I said I didn't need them, she told me to give it to the groom. Thank you so much to everyone attended and made today shine."

Minnie personally addressed the rumors of her being from a wealthy family in Thailand and confirmed that her family's wealth is beyond imagination.

On the 5th, a video titled '[EN] I didn't know she'd reveal this much (ft. lie detector) | EP.03 i-dle Miyeon Minnie | Truman Show' was uploaded to Youtube. In the video, comedian Lee Youngjin appeared as the MC, with Miyeon and Minnie as guests.

Lee Yongjin asked Minnie, "I heard your family members are very powerful. Is it true that you own three houses in Thailand, complete with gyms, parks, and even a private fortune teller?" Minnie humbly replied, "Some parts of the articles were a bit exaggerated." However, when pressed for specific facts, she eventually nodded in confirmation. She admitted, "It's true that we have three houses," but clarified, "Rather than a park, it's more like a large garden. And instead of a gym, we have a separate 'fitness room' in the house for working out."

Regarding the 'private fortune teller' in question, Minnie said, "Not personal, but a dedicated fortune teller for my family." She also confirmed that her mother runs a resort and her uncle is a famous pianist in Thailand, proving that she's from a 'chaebol-level' family. Lee Yongjin then jokingly asked, "Did you become an idol just as a hobby?" Without hesitation, Minnie replied, "Absolutely not," and the lie detector showed her answer was 'true,' proving her sincerity toward her idol and music career.

Meanwhile, i-dle made a comeback on the 27th of last month with the digital single 'Mono (feat. Skaiwater)' and proved their influence by taking first place on Mnet's MCountdown in the first week of February.

'I didn't go because I overslept' Song Mino missed 102 days of work ... Faces 'up to 3 years in prison' instead of re-enlistment

SOURCE: "늦잠자서 안 가요" 송민호, 102일 무단결근…재입대 대신 '최대 징역 3년'

Song Mino, a member of the group WINNER, has been sent to trial for being absent without leave for a total of 102 days while serving as a public service worker, drawing attention to the potential level of punishment.

On the 13th, according to legal sources, the Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office stated in the indictment that while working as a public service worker, Song Mino was absent for a total of 102 days without valid reason.

The total service period for a public service worker is 1 year and 9 months, with approximately 430 working days. If the prosecution's claims are true, it means that Song Mino was absent for about 1/4 of his total service days. In particular, the data showed that the number of his absences increased sharply as his discharge date got closer.

From March to May 2023, Song Mino was absent for only one day. However, in July 2024, he was absent for 19 days. In November 2024, just one month before his discharge, the investigators found that he was absent for 14 days without permission.

Prosecutors believe that whenever Song Mino said he wouldn't come to work because he 'overslept' or was 'tired,' the supervisor in charge, identified as Mr. A, approved the absences and processed false documents to make it look like he had actually come to work. The supervisor has also been charged with a crime.

Under the Military Service Act, if a public service worked is absent for eight or more days without valid reason, they can be sentenced up to 3 years in prison. It is also possible to receive an extension of service, which means serving five extra days for every one day missed.

However, legal experts are saying it is unlikely for Song Mino to 're-enlist.' Laywer Kim Kangho, who appeared on YTN's radio program 'Lawyer Lee Wonhwa's Case X File,' explained, "Since Song Mino has already been officially discharged from his service, it is legally impossible to convert him to active-duty soldier."

In the past, PSY had to serve again as an active-duty soldier after his status as an industrial technical personnel was revoked. However, experts say that case involved a different institutional structure. Unlike industrial technical personnel, there is no legal basis to change the type of military service for public service workers.

Previously, Song Mino's side stated, "The sick leave was just an extension of medical treatment he had been receiving before his service. Other leave days were also used according to the rules." Song Mino's first trial is scheduled to be held on April 21.

Depending on the result of his trial, the social standards for how celebrities complete their military service are expected to come under scrutiny once again.
