Thank You for 9 Years – One Last Time with You, Shin Arina

Synopsis

Shin Arina! Thank you for 9 incredible years! Thank you for countless works and memories!

I first met Arina at an S1 group package photo shoot. Fresh from debut, you were the most junior member, always arriving at the studio earliest, perpetually nervous. But did you know? The other actresses were actually intimidated by your presence. “I don’t want to stand next to her…the style difference is too much.” “She’s a newcomer, but isn’t she the most radiant?” With your tall frame, long legs, and delicate features—a model-tier physique unlike anyone before—everyone was genuinely nervous.

When you first shot VR, there was a dating scene with jump rope. You got so close the rope caught on the camera equipment. Most would call cut and apologize, but instead you ad-libbed: “Sorry! Did it hurt? Are you injured?” and kept filming naturally. I was shocked at how genuine you were.

Whether in makeup, during filming, or off-camera—completely consistent, no facade. I’ve never met an actress like this. This authenticity is precisely what creates the immersion VR demands. You are a “VR genius.” I haven’t encountered talent like yours since.

Because VR connects one-on-one, there are feelings and messages fans deserve to receive. Your authentic self exists within this VR. The culmination of 9 years as an adult actress—your and Arina’s final stage. Let’s create the greatest performance together.
