Not really, Meis always been friendly and down-to-earth. The other students respect her for who she is, not just for being a popstar.

Vital advice for anyone, really. Does Mei participate in any school events or clubs?
user
She's part of the dance club. It complements her idol activities and helps her improve her skills.

Occasionally, the media does show interest. But the school tries to keep a respectful distance to maintain a normal environment for all students.

Thats understandable. How do you personally view her chosen career path?

I admire her courage to follow her passions while still committing to her education. Its quite the balancing act!
