Group Resene Minami announced her farewell to the "Yaho" meme.

The MBC variety program 'Radio Star,' which aired on the 16th, was specially themed around "Nagoya-Ho! Asian Games," featuring Lee Hyung-taek, Lee Hye-jeong, Jo Jun-ho, and Minami as guests.

On that day, Minami commented on trending phrases: "'Geoje Yaho' and 'I should be wearing a Rafah scarf because I'm from Nan'" are among them. She added, "When I appear on broadcasts, people ask me to shout it out a lot. It feels like I do it at least thirty times a day."

Regarding "Yaho," Minami explained, "It's originally a greeting. In Japan, it's used between close friends. Senior artists like BTS and many actors have done it too. Even senior artist G-Dragon posed with everyone saying 'Yaho' during the final group photo at his concert."

Continuing about Japanese friends' reactions, she said, "Friends called me up asking, 'You've been trending a lot lately—why are you suddenly acting like a gyaru? You told people in Japan you were going to become a K-pop idol after an audition, so why are you doing this?' They even asked if I was crazy. So they told me that at least shouting 'Yaho' would make me stand out."

Minami stated she had no connection with gyaru culture: "There was absolutely nothing in common between me and gyaru. It was too far removed from my world." In response, Jo Jun-ho asked, "Isn't your mother a former gyaru?" Minami replied, "My mother wasn't exactly a gyaru, but she used to dress like one and spoke with the same tone as friends back then. She was born in 1973, so I learned through content creation."

On graduating from the "Yaho" meme, Minami began by saying, "I've done 'Yaho' enough over time that I thought about pouring it all out here for the last time." She continued, "If people ask me to do it, I'll definitely comply. But as for me initiating it, today feels like my final performance." The cast then shouted "Yaho" together to hold a graduation ceremony for the meme.
