Fans wait 7 hours in the rain for (G)I-dle's Minnie at Chagee VivoCity opening

The 27-year-old star made a special appearance at the opening of Chinese tea brand Chagee's second flagship store at VivoCity on Jan 11.

Some of Neverland, the fandom of (G)I-dle, arrived at the shopping centre as early as 4am, even though the Thai singer arrived only at llam.

Fans donned raincoats or used umbrellas, with queues stretching to the second and third floors of the mall.
