Statement by Irene's MUA since debut:

#MyBambooForestIrene
[bamboo forest means someone you can be vulnerable to, tell secrets, show emotions to, etc.]
Irene who's younger but always was a bamboo forest to me~

I've been and grown with Red Velvet since debut for 6 years now. -

-After I gave birth in 2015, so many things in my life changed as a MUA. It was full of first-time experiences and difficulties. But Irene who's incredibly shy and quiet became a bamboo forest for me who I could reveal my secrets/emotions to.

-

-One day she visited my shop & said she came to say hi as she was passing by. She sat beside me & we talked and left. On the way home, I put my hand in my pocket and there was a card in my jacket pockets. She had given me a card with Irene-like content, in an Irene-like method
-

-Just that one card seemed like Irene herself. She has the warmest heart. I don't know what went wrong and how this situation came to be but I trust that this will also pass and that the truth will win in the end!

-

-Just as she was like a bamboo forest to me and gave me strength when I was going through a hard time, I will be a source of strength for her too. -

- "Irene you remember right? Recently you said you didn't know how to comfort me, and what to say, so you couldn't say anything but I was touched when you said 'thinking about it I think you must be going through a really hard time...

-

- At that time, were you feeling what I'm feeling right now? I don't know what words to say, can't say how you must be feeling... I couldn't even send you a message...

-

Irene~
We are next to you and we will always be next to you so let's overcome/get through this together!

My bamboo forest Irene~
I wanted to tell you I'm thankful too~
And you are a warmer person than anyone I know I trust! "
