로제, 미 타임지 '올해 가장 영향력 있는 100인' 선정

Bella, today we start with some impressive news on BLACKPINK member Rosé.

Rosé has been named on TIME magazine’s list of “The 100 Most Influential People of 2025.” On Wednesday, TIME magazine revealed the “2025 TIME 100,” an annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Rosé, whom the magazine classified as a “pioneer,” was one of the 100 people to make this year’s list.
TIME magazine’s guest contributor, actress Lily Collins, shared the reasons behind Rosé’s selection. She said that Rosé is a dynamic performer and songwriter, and is able to captivate arenas full of people both as a member of the biggest girl group in the world and also as a solo artist.
Meanwhile, Rosé’s “APT.,” featuring Bruno Mars, continues to maintain its spot on Billboard Hot 100 for the 25th consecutive week.

Another proof for K-pop artists' global influence.
Back in 2019, listed among rising stars, BLACKPINK was part of "Time 100 Next".
And now THIS milestone. Big congratulations to Rosé!

Now on the other side of K-pop, the lawsuit between NewJeans and ADOR is still on-going. Please fill us in with the latest updates.

On Wednesday, the Seoul Central District Court dismissed objections filed by NewJeans against an earlier ruling that banned the group from independent activities outside of the agency ADOR.
Immediately after the court’s decision, NewJeans appealed, taking the legal battle between the two to the appeals court. The legal representatives of NewJeans said that they will continue to try their best to reveal fact relevance.
To give a quick recap, NewJeans began pursuing independent activities in February after accusing ADOR of violating the terms of their exclusive contract. However, ADOR claimed that the contract with the group remains valid until July 2029.
Earlier in March, the court accepted the injunction sought by ADOR, to prevent the five members from independently signing advertising contracts and pursuing separate music activities.
In response, NewJeans filed an objection against the injunction, but the court rejected it during this Wednesday’s hearing, upholding its previous ruling. Now what’s left is the appeals court’s decision.
Meanwhile, a separate trial is ongoing over ADOR’s lawsuit regarding the validity of its exclusive contract with NewJeans and the second hearing for that is set to take place on June 5th.

Please keep us updated with the results. For our last story today, we are going to talk about a new Korean Netflix series?

Korean Netflix series are doing amazing these days, not only in Korea, but globally, so it’s very exciting to hear that another series is about to be released. This time it’s a mystery romance series, “Dear Hongrang”.
It’s from a novel of the same title by writer Jang Da-hye. The story follows a son, Hongrang, who returns after a decade-long disappearance with no memory of his childhood. His half-sister, Jae I, who has been close to him since childhood, seeks the truth behind his sudden disappearance.
The new series stars Lee Jae-wook, Cho Bo-ah, Jung Ga-ram, and Uhm Ji-won.
“Dear Hongrang” will premiere on Netflix on May 16th.

Will add that to my list of things to watch on Netflix. Thank you Bella for today’s stories.
