"IVE" finally debuts, Japanese member Rei "My Korean improves thanks to members"

Rei, a Japanese member of the Korean girl group "IVE" finally made her debut, showed off her fluent Korean and revealed the "secret" to improving her language skills.

Rei said in a showcase to commemorate the release of debut single "ELEVEN" on the 1st, "When I first entered the office, I could only say simple Korean greetings. I did my best to study Korean while living as a trainee. Member Gaeul-Onni (Korean for older women), Yujin Onni, and Wonyoung speak a little Japanese, so they taught me a lot (Korean)."

"Thanks to the members, my Korean has improved" said Rei, "thanks to this, I've become accustomed to Korea and I don't feel that it's difficult anymore."

"IVE" is a new girl group that STARSHIP Entertainment unveiled for the first time in five years. The 1st single "ELEVEN" will be released at 6 pm on the 1st and they will officially debut.
