Idol Deep Dive: Shin Ryujin (ITZY)

[@50phiaa]

finally someone giving credit where credit is long overdue!! pls do all the itzy members i love this vid 😭

[@zerx70]

The industry is filled with so many role-models like her it's so amazing to see

[@farhanaferdouszaman]

i really admire ryujin for her down to earth and chill personality. shes like funny and cool at the same time and honestly i love her for that

[@aywa3007]

there will never be another idol like ryujin

[@nsn6272]

Yes I agree

[@za_wavbit]

The first time I heard about Ryujin was watching Mixnine (for LOONA). As soon as the beat hit in her audition and her expression changed, I knew she was going to be a big deal.

[@merphul]

she's a ruthless competitor but is the first person to be supportive when she senses someone else is down. it's a rare blend of swag and sweet.

[@khplaylistyt9729]

It's not rare in kpop at all

[@biohazard3554]

She acts highly professional, while also being a bit goofy and having a lot of fun, much respect for her!

[@anneyoungpark]

Clever Ryujin!

[@youknowitsme-nj3os]

Ok now we want ryujin in kdrama ❤❤❤

[@mdo_4578]

“What happened with that college degree” “OK, RUN AWAY RUN AWAY….”😭😭😭💀

[@MrDragos360]

Imagine Ryujin working as laywer or a doctor

[@mdo_4578]

@@MrDragos360 she’d probably be successful cuz she’s pretty smart….

[@acebase555]

@@mdo_4578not to mention terrifying.

[@cjc363636]

Ryujin just has 'IT" - star ability and the drive to get better, in her DNA. Gonna be fascinating to see what's next with her career. Thanks for this essay!

[@moonwinmin]

this is my first time seeing someone do an actual deep dive and SUCCESSFULLY capture ryujin's story. i can feel that this was researched well and done with a lot of admiration and respect. majority only focuses on one aspect about her (and usually it's just about her being a woman attractor), but she's definitely more than that. as a long time ryujin fan, this made me really happy because she really is a great person to look up to. she's not perfect (no one is) and she's so aware of that fact. she's very real and humane and i love that she doesn't shy away from that fact, rather she uses that awareness to improve herself and it's gotten her to the top while still remaining humble. she's more than a pretty face. she is extremely talented. a true ace who is good at dancing, rapping, singing, acting (she's even started to write and composed her own songs, please support "run away"), and has a good heart. she treats everyone arounds her with so much love and it shows with how much people support her. thank you so much. this is a great video to introduce ryujin to those who don't know her yet. i hope you make more videos about her in the future. good luck!

[@dabrah3421]

She's goofy and funny but also very wise for her age... A deep thinker indeed....A very different and unique personality compared to her idol counterparts....She's very introspective and always open for correction.

[@wehave0219]

Tbh I’m highly a itzy girly and I’m a ryujin biased, among her own members i feel such a strong connection to her. She is someone worth admiring, I mean she was worked since 15-16 and she still finds her own ways to keep improving herself physically and mentally, she embodies itzy message so well and is proud of it (personally o think being proud of your work is something really hard when you are working on the music industry) and on top of that she is someone really down to earth and chill.

[@Highlandslowlands]

Ryujin since mixnine has consistently endeared herself to us I think because she thinks very deeply and also seems extremely kind. She comes across as someone who will tease you but is loyal and has a strong sense of justice. I do believe jyp has held her back from fully sky-rocketting the way she could but she's a group first kinda girl even as she constantly improves (her singing in runaway was lovely). She loves her friends first and foremost and i admire and appreciate her for it. Thanks for this!

[@Chaestial]

I love Ryujin alot! She’s alone such a vibe, she’s sometimes playful, funny, chaotic and everything in between, but my favorite part of her is her clam side. Her passion for what she’s doing fascinates me everytime! Also the way she sees everything and the way she never gives up helps me at times. She really gives her best, and of course how she has about 1 million girlfriends (i’m one of them). I love how you explained every detail about her! Also uhm you better make one about Chaewon soon or else i’m gonna explode into ashes

[@ryjswife]

she's a god tier idol

[@cyliemyrus]

During the pandemic was when I was introduced to Ryujin, that vlog of her walking and having a picnic on the Han River popped up on my feed. Her fucking smile drew me in, she has a great fucking smile.

[@ekuniverse1]

I'm an ISFP, but Ryujin's personality aligns a lot with mine. I like competing and training with people who are better than which gives me motivation. So that I'm certain of my position. Also being pessimistic and hating uncertainty and failure.

[@khplaylistyt9729]

She's istp

[@nsn6272]

Ryujin is my ult bias in all kpop❤ thank you so much🙏🏻

[@Jeilatin143]

FINALLYY!!! LESGOOOO SHE'S MY ULT IN GGs. I love her so much~~~ ever since their debut.

[@Stormycloud88-og]

Bruh just discovered I'm an INTJ aswell! Aw that's so cool!

[@unklmonk651]

S-rank idol Ryujin got her 2nd awakening.

[@ZtevanAustere]

As an INTJ, the gaming to get cast is expected. I would have done the same if I were younger and korean hahahaha.

[@DUNGSTA]

Bet on RYUJIN 🤩

[@jaythongsuwan9881]

I like her because of who she is got nothing else to say

[@forer1906]

I've been following ITZY since pre-debut, without even knowing they were going to be ITZY, I have hundreds of reasons to love every single one of them, but Ryujin and Yeji have all my heart, they are >almost< pollar opposites, but still work amazingly together. I love Ryu cause at the same time she reminds me of myself, she's became a role model to me, I want to be able to look at myself and tell what I'm good in, I've learned to accept myself more cause of my favorite groups, it's hard, but seeing how they work so hard to achieve their dreams, I always fight for that too. I see myself on her, and I want to be able to be like the other part of her that I'm not, yet. The same goes for Yeji, I love how she isn't afraid of complimenting herself and getting herself hyped up to do better. I want to be like that, want to learn how to give myself a chance and become someone I'm proud to say I am, as I'm proud to say I'm a MIDZY cause I'm insanely proud of all of them.

[@y2kriz06]

Ryujin is exceptionally talented and smart

[@nmitzyxx]

Ryujin is so talented, she got everything for her + she’s really pretty, we love her and we will always love her for who she is💗💗

[@brunna.silva02]

Thank you for this incredible video of my girl Ryujin! I love her so much and she is such a wonderful human being ❤

[@warren_r]

That fan meeting thing she did a couple of months ago is honestly one of the most touching things I've seen any idol do in recent memory. Another great video, Ben, keep it up.

[@DUNGSTA]

What she do?

[@moonwinmin]

@@DUNGSTA please correct me if i'm wrong, but for an episode with Dingo, she met up with a fan and spent the day with her! even gave her gifts and such :]

[@dessu8967]

Yay! Thanks so much!! Finally one of the ITZY members! Love them so much!!

[@wehave0219]

YES YES I LOVE YOU RYUJIN

[@milkenwood6150]

first time i saw/heard about ryujin was the bts highlight reel. actually kinda surprised you didn't mention that, i'm so curious about how and why she (and yuna) was picked for this

[@davidcohn3347]

I started following Ryujin because of her close friendship with JiU from DREAMCATCHER. Shes now one of my top biases

[@zfeazcesd1047]

besides the obvious of being beautiful and a good dancer, from the videos ive seen she seems to have an interesting personality....almost 'american' ...like a boldness where i see a lot of koreans being kind of..reserved...i dunno...can't articulate it well.

[@burbujadeamor007]

Gorgeous gorgeous ❤ Thank you for this beautiful content about our Ryujin 😍💐

[@maryalthene]

[@armymoo6967]

Can you do Soyeon, Rose or Jennie? I am not a big fan of them or group, but I find them very aspiring, esp. their journey through and with music.
