BIOGRAPHY

Naoi Rei moved from Japan to Korea as a young teenager to train at Starship. Trilingual in Japanese, Korean, and English, she brings a refined, detail-oriented sensibility to IVE — both in performance and in the fashion-forward image the group projects. She is known among fans for the methodical, perfectionist approach she applies to learning choreography.

Beyond K-pop

Fashion (she is IVE's most visible fashion obsessive), anime and Japanese animation, music listening across genres, and skincare.
