Tear him apart. He is of no help in your life,” showcasing her signature straightforwardness and empowering attitude.

Rei’s advice also encouraged a proactive approach to relationships. She advised, “You have a feeling you’re going to break up with your boyfriend…? Break up with him first. Thanks for your time thus far we’re lucky maybe we will meet in another life. Live with that mindset,” sprinkling her words with humor and practicality.
The response from fans was overwhelmingly positive, with many declaring their admiration for Rei’s unapologetic demeanor and praising her as the epitome of a “cool girl.” Some even confessed to developing a newfound crush on the IVE member, taken over by her charm and authenticity.
In an industry where idols often maintain carefully curated images, Rei’s unfiltered advice and unabashed personality have endeared her to fans. Her ability to combine silliness with sincerity continues to solidify her place as a true “baddie” in the eyes of her adoring audience.
