To say that rino nakasone is busy would be an understatement. Despite juggling her responsibilities as a mother to two adorable fur babies, Gatchan and Milo, hosting several dance workshops and conceptualizing NCT 127's Tokyo Dorm performances, Nakasone was gracious enough to take some time out for this feature. Her reason? Fans. "I’m getting ready for NCT 127's concert," she informs me. At the time of our conversation, she is at her Los Angeles residency, preparing to fly across the world to direct NCT 127's highly anticipated Dome tour. "But since the fans have been super nice to me all these years, I'll try my best."
