"I'm so grateful for all the love we received, especially with our content videos surpassing1 million views. I think it's about time to slowly say goodbye to the Gyaru character. Since I'm not actually a Gyaru, I'm goin to show a lot of my real self from now on."

Minami added, "To be honest,I don't even know exactly what a Gyaru is. There are so many different styles of it. I thought some people might feel uncomfortable seeing someone imitate it," and continued:

_"The Gyaru image I've shown so far was something Icarefully researched and prepared for those who enjoying the videos. Rather than seeing it as contents meant to promote Gyaru culture, I hope people view it as content showcasing different sides of me and the great chemistry I have with Woni Unnie." _

Lastly, Minami said, _"Still, so many people seemed toenjoy the Gyaru character, so I'm glad I did it. I'm also grateful to the PD-nim. I'll work harder on my singing and dancing so that people can come to like the real me as well." _

Previously, Minami drew significant public attention through content on fellow member Woni's personal channel , when she appeared with a unique Gyaru makeup and an eccentric alter-ego character. Videos such as their trip to Geoje Island became popular online memes and contributed to a rise in recognition for RESCENE as well as resurgence in the group's performance on music charts.

On the other hand, a scene in a video posted on the 19th to the channel 'Hello I Am Woni Nice To Meet You' sparked concern among fans when a man was captured intentionally trying to bump into Minami and Woni as they walked through the streets of Shibuya in Tokyo , Japan. Fortunately, Minami reacted quickly, preventing any physical contact. However, the footage sparked outrage online , with some speculating that it may have been an attempted case of the so-called**'Butsukari,'** a form of intentional collision targeting women or children in Japan.

Following the conclusion of her 'Gyaru' character, RESCENE is set to make a comeback on July 8 with 'Pretty Girl,' a remake of hit song by KARA.
