• If I haven’t known, I would think that she’s Korean. She looks like she can star in a K-drama. 
• Such a natural smile… Kazuha really brightens the stage
• Wow this is the first time I noticed a female idol this hard. Her visuals are so impressive.
• HYBE should kick out Kim Garam and make this one the center instead.
