“The two years have flown past,” began Minji. There is always a new stage set waiting for her and she will continue to take on new challenges, she said, and will be able to make it as long as she is with her bandmates.
The past two years have been like a dream, said Danielle. There were trying moments, for sure, “but I could mature and learn exchanging lots of love and energy as Bunnies have been there for us,” she added, thanking the group’s fans.
Hani -- as did the other members -- picked their recent fan meeting at Tokyo Dome as their most memorable moment, but confided that practicing and preparing for different performances also leave deep impressions on her.
