Since her debut, REI has stood out by popularizing various signature poses like “Ribbon Peace”, “Kongsuni Pose”, and “Chapssaltteok Pose”, attracting notable attention. On her social media, she engages the MZ generation with her unique “사꾸 (saku)” (photo decoration) aesthetic and led the viral “Attitude / Furious Guinea Pig” challenge released last February, establishing herself as a trend-setting icon.
REI also showcases her versatility every Thursday on her solo YouTube web show “따라해볼레이”, collaborating with idols, actors, and entertainers while demonstrating witty and confident hosting skills.
Last May, she hosted her first awards show as MC at the Asia Star Entertainer Awards 2025, leading the long live broadcast with poise and receiving praise. Global fans are now eagerly anticipating her appearance as special MC on Music Bank.
