Brown Eyed Girls’ Narsha leaves a message of encouragement for Miryo

Brown Eyed Girls‘ Narsha recently gave a few words of encouragement to fellow member Miryo, who got eliminated on the latest episode of Mnet‘s ‘Show Me the Money‘.

On July 28th, the singer took to Twitter and wrote, “Don’t judge a mistake as ability. You’re just taking a break since you still have a long way to go, so you should catch your breath and set off once again. I’m forever your fan. You’ve worked hard, Miryo!”

Miryo unfortunately got eliminated during the third round on the hip hop survival program ‘Show Me the Money’. The rapper and contestant failed to impress the audience with her arrangement of Kim Wan Sun‘s “The Dance in Rhythm“, ending with an elimination.

Upon seeing the broadcast, fans and netizens also left supportive messages for the rapper commenting, “Miryo, don’t be discouraged“, “It was still a great performance“, “Cheer up“, and more.

Brown Eyed Girls’ Miryo confesses she struggled after releasing her 1st solo album

Brown Eyed Girls‘ resident rapper Miryo, a former member of hip-hop group ‘Honey Family‘, recently sat down with reporters for an interview related to Mnet‘s hip-hop program ‘Show Me the Money‘

The interview took place at the Time Square M-PUB in Seoul on July 20th and was joined by the cast members from ‘Show Me the Money’, as well as the amateur rappers.

When asked whether her fellow members (Ga-In, Narsha, JeA)  monitor her appearance on the program, Miryo replied, “They all just enjoy watching the program itself. Because they love hip-hop, it seems like they aren’t watching it for me. They just watch it because the program is fun.”

Regarding her latest performance with hopeful rap contestant Iltong (Seo Sung Jo), in which they had to sing a song related to ‘love’, Miryo expressed her thoughts stating, “It was really difficult.” Without finishing her sentence, she continued, “It’s been so long since I last fell in love…”

In addition, Miryo confessed that she felt traumatized after her solo activities, realizing her shortcomings when standing solo and losing confidence on stage. Miryo had stepped out on her own as a solo artist with her first solo album, ‘MIRYO aka JOHONEY‘ on February 1st.

“To be honest, I struggled after releasing my first solo album earlier this year and I’m still struggling with it. Now that I think about it, I have always been in a group (Honey Family) even in the past and never had a solo career. I realized my shortcomings after leading a stage on my own for the very first time. That was a trauma for me and it eventuallly led me to become extremely nervous.”

“I ended up losing confidence on stage. But now, the survival aspect of the program, ‘Show Me the Money’, added to my stage fright, so I’m disappointed. However, I think I know what my problems are now. I just need to work harder and fix my flaws.”

The rapper also shared her thoughts on performing as a hip-hop artist saying, “A lot of people still only view me as Brown Eyed Girls’ rapper. However, I have a mindset similar to a non-idol member. I’m currently doing what I enjoy. I’m working with hip-hop musicians, rather than idols, so it doesn’t feel awkward at all.”

Mnet’s ‘Show Me the Money’ airs every Friday night at 11PM KST.

Brown Eyed Girls’ Miryo sheds tears after a regretful performance on ‘Show Me the Money’

Brown Eyed Girls‘ Miryo shed tears after putting on a performance she was greatly disappointed with on the latest episode of ‘Show Me the Money‘.

On the July 13th broadcast of Mnet‘s new hip hop program, Miryo was paired up with hopeful rap contestant Iltong (Seo Sung Jo) and prepared their arrangement of Park Jung Woon‘s “If It’s Like Tonight“.

But once Miryo took to the stage in front of the large audience, the rapper suddenly blanked out in the first few seconds of the performance, forgetting the lyrics and beginning to rap in freestyle. Miryo eventually stopped and apologized to the crowd before restarting the performance.

While her second attempt went smoothly, Iltong fumbled the lyrics to a portion of his rap. After the performance, Iltong stated in the interview, “After Miryo made a mistake, my mind just went blank. I think I was extremely nervous.”

Upon seeing their score, Miryo blamed herself and said, “I’m terribly sorry. I feel like it’s all my fault. I thought I’d be able to put up a great performance, but my mind just went blank.”

The rapper then burst into tears back at the waiting room and expressed her disappointment stating, “I was so nervous that my mind went into panic mode. Everything was fine until I began forgetting the lyrics during the rehearsal. I couldn’t continue like that so I stopped during the middle of the performance, but I know I shouldn’t have done that. I only thought about myself which led me to make that mistake.”

But after I saw the amount of followers (460,000) the Twitter account had, I was positive that it was her so we immediately went into discussion that night.”

He continued, “Although Lee Hyori expressed her desire to appear on the program on Twitter, it must not have been easy for her, so I was surprised to see her gladly accept the cast offer. I’m happy knowing that her appearance on the program will be an opportunity to spread the genre hip hop.”
