'Na Young-seok Pick' Oh My Girl Mimi, runs again as a singer [TEN People]

Oh My Girl's Mimi, who entered 'hardening' through entertainment, returns to her main job this time. Mimi, who has been showing outstanding performance as a fixed panel in 'Arcade 2', 'Heart Signal 4', and 'No Entry Except Related Persons', will make a comeback as a singer after 1 year and 4 months.

tvN's 'Hot Pyoong Earth Arcade 2' (hereafter referred to as Ground Room 2) is a stepping stone that helped Mimi solidify herself as an entertainment show. Mimi's erratic and unpredictable appearance brought laughter to viewers, and in the most recent broadcast on the 14th, the appearance of pouring out incorrect answers in a quiz with Lee Young-ji, who was appearing together, was so good that it recorded its own highest viewership rating.

In particular, Mimi's words and actions in 'Groundbox 2' boasted a high topic. Recently, when Park Bo-gum pointed out Oh My Girl's Mimi as the runner-up after the Ice Bucket Challenge, netizens left funny reactions such as "Park Bo-gum must have seen the basement".

Previously, on tvN's entertainment show 'Hot Pyoong Earth Arcade 2', which aired on the 2nd of last month, Mimi made the mistake of saying "Kim Bum-soo" after seeing a picture of Park Bo-gum in the character quiz. Lee Young-ji drew the line, saying, “I can’t hit this shield,” and Mimi said, “I love you, Taek-ah,” in agony.

Producer Na Young-seok also said, "By the way, Mr. Bo-gum likes our program so much that he even called writer Lee Woo-jung", further driving Mimi into a corner. Embarrassed, Mimi looked at the camera and said, "Don't you like me?"

In response to Mimi's performance, Na Young-seok PD, who recently directed 'Ground Room 2', said in an interview that there were about 50 candidates at the time of casting, and said, "'Ground Room' was really well chosen." It was to the extent that I said that I had used up all my luck.”

Next, Na Young-seok PD said, "Mimi was the most unexpected casting. Compared to rapper Lee Young-ji, Ive An Yu-jin, and comedian Lee Eun-ji, Mimi's characteristics have not yet been revealed to people."

Regarding the casting of Mimi, he said, “My friend Mimi was on YouTube, and after watching it, I really liked the mindset of this person who, despite being an idol, has the idea of pioneering his own path while living in reality.” has been mentioned several times.

Mimi, who broke through '50 to 1' and showed an active role to the extent that PD Na Young-seok caught the eye, did not stop at this, but began to solidify in earnest by going all over the place in entertainment. Mimi solidified her position as an entertainer by taking the celebrity judges of Channel A's 'Heart Signal 4' and fixed panel positions of SBS's 'Restricted Access to Persons Except for Personnel' following 'Geo Arcade'.

Mimi, who has established herself as a 'entertainment cheat key' by making her face known as a fixed panel in a number of entertainment programs, announced that she will return as a singer, her main job. Oh My Girl, to which Mimi belongs, announced that they would release their 9th mini album on the 24th. This is a comeback to the main job after 1 year and 4 months. Thanks to Mimi's performance, Oh My Girl announced that they finished recording JTBC's 'Knowing Bros' on the 13th.

Earlier this year, Mimi appeared on the Lunar New Year special of 'Knowing Bros' and drew attention with her outspoken gestures that embarrassed Kang Ho-dong and the panelists. As Mimi, who has been active in entertainment, I look forward to seeing what she will look like and whether she will be able to achieve good results in her main job as a singer.
