Producer Ishida Mina (Rei) congratulated Park Ji-soo (Kim Jae-kyung), the producer of "TORINNER," who has decided to make his debut in Japan, saying, "The rising star of the K-POP world is finally making his debut in Japan!"
Ishida, who approached TORINNER about appearing on the show on the day of their debut, explained, "If they could sing on live TV, I think it would be beneficial for both our numbers and TORINNER's promotion."
When Park showed a positive attitude, Ishida skillfully invited him, saying, "Actually, we're planning to have NAZE (TORINNER's rival) appear as well. They're debuting on the same day, right? If they appear together, I'm sure it'll be a big hit."
This is Rei's first appearance in a film since leaving the Takarazuka Revue in 2025. On social media, comments such as "Rei shone brightly in the drama," "Rei Makoto was too cool," "Rei in the drama is not only beautiful, but more than anything, her voice is amazing! She has a great voice," "I'm watching a drama where Rei Makoto is given the luxury of not singing and dancing," and "TBS, can't you have Producer Ishida appear again?" have attracted attention.
