RINKA

"Also, I have really watched Rika Ando's HYLT, who dropped out in the first round of Garupura, hundreds of times, not as a metaphor. I still think that she truly understood that song."

I've been wondering while watching Waska, why is RINKA participating as an inexperienced contestant? She also appeared in Garupla and made it to the semifinals in the Thai version of Produce Camp, right? Doesn't participating in survival shows count as experience?

"I'm watching the HYBE audition, but how is it that RINKA-chan, who has appeared in both Girls Planet and Produce Camp, has no dance experience???"

This isn't a criticism, just a simple question: RINKA from WSKA is signed with Avex and has participated in Gal Pura and Creation Camp 2024, but does she really have no dance experience? She's not particularly skilled at it, so doesn't the agency provide lessons? She's been in three idol survival shows, yet she still hasn't improved her dancing? It's a mystery.

Here’s the translation of the tweet: "RINKA, who trained hard alongside RUAN at CHUANG ASIA, participated in the HYBE audition. Even Ayana and Jayla from Girls Planet 999 were there. Moreover, she passed the first round of auditions out of 14,000 people!! Amazing!! I just thought RUAN would suit being a member. #WORLDSCOUT #RINKA #RUAN #ガルプラ"

Here's the translation of the tweet: "I want to tell Rika-chan something. As a fan who has been earnestly wishing for her debut since she dropped out of Garupura, I am truly happy 💖 I'm so glad to have encountered such a strong group. I look forward to it every day! I will support you so that this feeling is clearly conveyed‼️ Every time I see you, I receive power that far exceeds my imagination‼️ Thank you always."

The tweet translates to: "Rinka is the girl who was in Garupla, right? Why isn't it written?"

The tweet translates to: "Garupla, Creation Camp 2024, the person who appeared on this show, Aratake Rinka. I thought she was the same person as Ando Rika, who debuted in the SM Japanese girl group after appearing on Garupla."

On the 19th, Kep1er, Ji-won, and GPP's Rika-chan will have a Girls Planet reunion 🥹!! x.com/hian_official/…

Here's the translation of the tweet: "#WORLDSCOUT #WORLDSCOUT_THEFINALPIECE #ワースカ RINKA is here! She was in Gals' Planet. I watched it on CHUANG Asia. She has great visuals, right? Back then, she had blonde hair and was with Avex. If I remember correctly, the one from Avex was named YU, and her performance was really good. Later, she ranked first in a survival show by JYP and was set to debut, but I wonder what happened after that."

"I thought there was an unusually sharp dancer in the collaboration dance with Sue, and it turned out to be Rika Ando from Garupla?? I just found out she debuted and I'm about to cry."

"I watched the performance of Rinka Ando (the blonde girl 👩‍🦳) from Garupura's group! Their live singing performance was incredibly high level 🥹🤍 #GPP #BringitBack #GPP_BiB #RINKA #安藤梨花"

"I'm so happy about the collaboration between Rika-chan and IS:SUE...! 🥹 (Garupla ghost)"

The tweet translates to: "Rika Ando, who appeared in 'Garuawa' and 'Garupla' before her debut, will be there!"
