Despite the terrible reviews from netizens, however, the popularity of Japanese trainee Chiba Erii has been skyrocketing, with Korean netizens falling in love with her charm.

 

The idol is, in fact, only 15 years old and because of her young age, her sometimes tactless honesty is being accepted by netizens in a positive way.

Erii’s mother: “They’re asking how Produce 48 is going.”
Erii: “It’s no fun. It’s scary. It’s not entirely bad, but it’s like hell every day.”

 

When Chiba Erii’s group was chosen to perform “Boombayah”, she burst into tears along with the other members and sounded like she had already given up in her heart.

“It’s too hard.”

 

Even during practice, she looked as if she had lost all hope.

 

But during the actual performance, Chia Erii did the very best that she could and netizens were proud and intrigued.

 

The clip of Erii performing “Boombayah” has now reached over 800,000 views and over 13,000 comments, many of which praise Erii for her strong will and eccentric charm.
