I fell in love with K-pop the moment I first heard BLACKPINK’s music. I happened to see the MV of “Boombayahon YouTube and I still remember how amazed I was when I first saw it. I thought, ‘What is this new world?

I also saw BLACKPINK perform live at their concert in Osaka’

Kazuha also explained how she was inspired to pursue K-Pop by attending BLACKPINK’s concert:

When I saw their performance with my own eyes, I was so impressed and moved that I broke down in tears. Until then, I had seen many ballet performances, but BLACKPINK’s performance was great in a completely different way than ballet.

That’s when I thought I wanted to be on stage too.

The members of BLACKPINK are all very pretty, cool and charming, which made me feel like I wanted to be like them. Not the image of a pretty girl, but a cool woman“.
