2. She is an all-rounder
Apart from possessing stunning visuals, NaRin is also a talented performer who slays in singing, dancing, and rapping. NaRin has a soulful vocal tone that perfectly embodies MEOVV’s chic and classy identity, and therefore she is mainly responsible for the vocal parts that are the highlights of the song. In MEOVV’s latest title track ‘DROP TOP’, NaRin took up the bridge part of the song, where she showcased her beautiful vocals.
3. She is a language genius
Besides being an all-rounder on stage, NaRin is also incredibly smart off stage. NaRin has never studied abroad, she can speak multiple languages. Apart from her first language Korean, she is also fluent in English and Japanese, and her Japanese teammate Anna even praised her Japanese skills. Besides being proficient in three languages, NaRin revealed on “Daebak Show” that she is learning Spanish and Chinese as well. She proved her Spanish skills by greeting her fans in Spanish during “M Countdown” interview when she first debuted (at 0:34), and many Spanish speaking fans commented that NaRin’s Spanish pronunciation was very accurate. How can we not stan a multilingual queen?
4. She is a sweet master chef
Completely different from her cool image on stage, NaRin is a master chef who enjoys cooking for her members. In one of the episodes of “INSIDE MEOVV”, NaRin demonstrated her cooking skills by making a feta egg guacamole tortilla for her teammate Ella as breakfast. Although Ella originally could not eat eggs, she successfully finished the whole tortilla while kept on saying that it was so delicious, and that even the egg tasted good. Ella also gave NaRin a new nickname “Chef Rin Unnie” (Chef 린 언니), and NaRin then told Ella to tell her if she wanted to eat it again. NaRin is such a sweet girl!
