RESCENE's Minami expresses appreciation and asks fans to embrace her beyond gyaru concept

RESCENE's Minami has moved fans with her heartfelt words of gratitude and honesty.

On an online forum, netizens discussed and reacted to Minami's series of messages recently shared with fans on Bubble. In her messages, Minami used heartfelt expressions to wholeheartedly thank the public for their love, while also saying that the time is approaching for her to "say goodbye to gyaru."

She wrote:

"So many people have watched Woni's YouTube channel. I am so grateful that it already has over a million followers. But I think it's now time for me to say goodbye to gyaru, haha. Because I'm not originally a gyaru. So now I should also show the real sides of myself, too!!"

Continuing, she acknowledged how much love the gyaru concept has brought to the group:

"But because so many people have loved our gyaru concept, I am so glad that we tried it. I am also very grateful to our PD-nim (producer)."

Courageously opening up about her future goals, Minami shared:

"I will try even harder through my dance and singing so that you can love the real me! Haha."

Minami also carefully shared that she never wants to offend any real gyaru individuals. She wrote:

"I never really knew very well what gyaru was, and there are many types of gyaru out there (beyond stereotypes), so I think it is perfectly possible that some people may dislike the way I try to imitate gyaru..! But what's true is that all the gyaru content I've created so far is based on learning about the kinds of gyaru videos that bring a lot of joy to those who watch them, and the staff have also prepared very fitting outfits for me..!!"

She further added:

"That is why I don’t just want to promote only gyaru culture, but also show my various sides. So I think it would be really, really great if you could also view those videos as showcasing the good chemistry I have with Woni unnie."

Lastly, she wrote:

"As much as so many people have taken an interest in us and shown us love, I will think more deeply about the kind of effort I need to make and do whatever it takes to become a better artist!! ♡"

Reading these messages, netizens overwhelmingly shared their love for Minami and left supportive comments such as:

“It's not just gyaru promo, it's RESCENE content, so stopping at the right point is smart, and she speaks so beautifully.”

“She doesn’t just speak well… she writes well too.....? Wait, she’s Japanese though, right? So that means a Japanese person used a smartphone to type Hangul using either a 12-key or QWERTY keyboard and formed those sentences??? Amazing”

“She really speaks so well lolㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I don’t think I could write like that even in Korean.”

“Minami is smart, so she’ll be good at everything!”

“She really speaks so well, she’s so sharp.”

"Honestly, the reason the gal thing went viral was because when she said slightly low-energy things in garyu style, and Won’s confused facial reactions next to her were so funny, so it is actually true how they went viral mainly because of the two members' good chemistry"

“She really understands what fans and the public want and what they might worry about, she’s really sharp.”

“Aw, she speaks so well.”

“She’s honestly so likable.”

“I just ended up loving Minami so much.”

“She speaks so well and she’s so smartㅠㅜ I’ll support you!”

“Wow, she’s really amazing.”

“Minami really seems like she has a very thoughtful and deep personality.”

“She speaks Korean better than me and writes better too.”

“She speaks so beautifully, I support her!!”

“She’s so well-rounded and seriously likable.”

“I love Minami.”

“She’s smart, sensible!! Fighting, Minami!”

“Minami will do even better~~~~”

“She seems like someone ready to be loved.”

“Even her ‘real self’ is charming, she’s so likable haha fighting”

“Let RESCENE get even bigger and more successful!”
