[@wegotmonkey444]

This series' name has never been more appropriate

[@random_teengirl]

Is it just me or does rei look exactly like those jelly artsyle drawings ? Like for real 😭 her facial features hairstyles etc She is the personalization of jelly artsyle

[@jibb1es]

Rei is the best. She's so cool and genuine. We love her so much!

[@lindiweramokgadi1120]

You could just say REI is a Rei of sunshine 😭☀️

[@traumatizedbysmile8399]

I’m not a long term dive, I started stanning in their I AM era but I have went to two of their concerts. One was the fan concert, prom queens, the other was the world tour, show what I have. I had swapped biases a lot but mostly Leeseo was my ultimate bias. I never seemed to have any interest in Rei until I went to their world tour. Rei was very interactive with my side of the standing pen and even completed my friend’s hand heart. She would always look at us, wave and even smile. After that concert, I felt like Rei had gone up my bias list by a lot. She was so friendly and just the best personality a person could ever have. Rei is just an amazing and interesting person. I’m happy to see that she has a massive amount of fans.

[@HyperAB]

i absolutely adore Rei, even more so after seeing her in Oakland this last weekend. She absolutely SHINES on stage, i hope she knows just how loved she is. hope this series never stops, it’s so fun!

[@fluffyoreo6275]

ive is one of my favorite groups. but i never got into their variety content. im so happy to see another infj. nobody is ever one. i have a whole new respect for rei because i can totally relate to how she thinks.

[@gigglehertz]

Wow I just thought she was really cute, but she's really thoughtful and introspective. She moves up in my IVE ranking.

[@gvynkii]

omg i would love a wonyo ver next 😭🎀

[@lalmalsawmi0537]

Rei is just the sweetest being!! She always writes long letters to Dives..she’s that friend who you’d feel comfortable to tell ur deep thoughts and she’d empathize with you..she is truly a gem🤧 The fact that she writes her own rap parts even tho she’s not korean and is still in the process of learning the language 🤧🤧

[@watercreatures5]

I love the idol deep dives so much!

[@joonoval]

I recently went to their concert in oakland and it was THE GREATEST concert I have ever been to.

[@bewdeyeswhitedragon]

She's the one that caught my eye and heart the moment I was exposed to IVE ❤

[@dks13nic]

thank you for explaining our rei of sunshine, this is very good. i hope you can make one for yujin

[@zevphe]

Omg I didn’t realize you put a poll! Even more excited that I saw NMIXX on there… looking forward to the day you do any of the members

[@tm5brown520]

Not you just doing all my biases for this series so far 😂 I love literally love this I can feel closer to my favorite people in kpop tysm ❤

[@Suprise.dlamini]

For me it's the opposites😭 He chooses the my least biased in the groups

[@ifoundtheimposter1652]

LIZ IVE PLEASE!!!

[@Smoses_senpai]

In a very different way with a very different Rei. Is such a good sentence

[@SkittileSkelanimal47]

I love this series so much! I would love to see a deep dive on TripleS’ Chaeyeon. Hearing how she grew up, her time when she was in Busters, to where she’s at now. Her personality and tenacity of being an idol is amazing

[@johnthedude5080]

I SEE REI CONTENT I CLICK! ! !

[@SigningWithRayyy]

Please I'll love to see huening bahiyyih or Kang taehyun

[@yuyudive]

As a dive, I loved your deep research about her and how you told her story. Rei has such a unique persona, and I loved your point about her bond with yujin! they truly teach and aspire to each other to be better. Just like Joy, she heals people's hearts with a smile 🤧

[@socialllinks]

LET'S GOOO great video! I swear the editing is just getting better and better also the model came out SO GOOD major props to the artist!!! and whoever did that rei edit with the bear pretty cool or whatever 🙄

[@dooh]

[@aegiskcc]

[@Smoses_senpai]

great job with the video it looks really nice^^

[@uuwa_09]

Out of context but I can’t wait for you to deep dive Katseye members. Especially Daniela.😊

[@johnsthetic]

eXcUsE me 💀 😂6:40 are you serious ; rei yujin shippers are gonna love you for that apart from that I really always start getting emotional how rei always say how thankful she's for yujin and like reinis so good with words and expressing her emotions towards other people and she's just so good at that and me as a infj looks up to her even though I am twi years older than her; that's a quality of her I really admire and her way of being herself is that makes her loved by fans ❤ I requested you to make Wonyoung and I got rei😂 either way I am good if you are planning to do more of Ive members I would be very glad.

[@cliffyandmiffy]

Can you do Wonyoung or did you already do it?

[@johnsthetic]

No not yet I am also asking 😂❤I hope to see all Ive members gradually now that I got rei

[@pathongofaustralia]

[@user-dj6ey6pz5v]

[@miemellow]

CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT CAMERA SHE USES

[@cloudybrains]

Why does she not get a cool title in the thumbnail like the others though? T_T Like The Soft Baddie, idk

[@benatmos]

I had "The Blooming Butterfly" for a little bit but I wasn't the happiest with it so I decided to experiment a little 🙏 Maybe I'll add something back after a little bit. I like soft baddie, that's cute!!

[@cloudybrains]

@@benatmos Woah you changed it! I was just looking forward to what creative title you were going to come up with for her haha

[@benatmos]

@@cloudybrains I'm glad someone likes the titles haha it's my hidden passion

[@laurellee6674]
