RESCENE’s Minami succeeds spectacularly after Japanese classmates dismissed her K-pop idol dream: “It brings me to tears” (Radio Star)

RESCENE's Minami shared the story of how she fulfilled her dream of becoming a K-pop idol and was able to show her Japanese classmates how successful she had become.

On September 16, Lee Hyung-taek, Lee Hye-jung, Jo Jun-ho, and RESCENE's Minami appeared as guests on episode 981 of MBC's variety show 'Radio Star.'

Minami revealed that she had written “I want to become a K-pop idol” as her future dream in her elementary school graduation album, but was teased by her friends at the time, who called it unrealistic. She said she had dreamed of becoming an idol since the third grade of elementary school and practiced for hours at a dance academy, often until dawn, even while being teased.

Minami continued by saying that her friends were surprised when she actually went to South Korea. She also explained that the school she attended continued through university, and that when her friends became high school students and graduated, she visited the school to perform as RESCENE's Minami.

Minami said she did not do it specifically to show one particular friend, but wanted to show how hard she had worked. She added that she was reminded of the person who had guided her this far and began to cry as she recalled how she felt at the time.
