TRIVIA / Mieko chose her stage name because of one of the meanings of the name, which is 'smile'. She wants to brightens her fans day and she herself wants to be with them with a smile on her face and bring them happiness. However, when she was younger, she had been tormented by her classmates. Considering her heritage, Mieko seems completely unreal with the amounts of talents she has and how perfect she seems to be. They were envious of her and thought she was arrogent, so they bullied her. When she was older, she once agreed to a 3-way relationship because the guy couldn't decide and she could feel his pain and he persuaded her. She started to draw mangas when she was 12 and founded a doujinshi circle when she was 14 during her years abroad. She even started writing her own songs when she was 13 as an outlet for all her emotions she kept inside because she doesn't want to worry people. She hid them and never told anyone about them. She had started voice acting when she was goofing around with friends, but then they suddenly decided to make a cartoon show and everyone took part in it. When she notices people being bullied, she becomes a different person, turning cold and scary. Oh, she absolutely adores any dessert with apples, especially the ones with fruit parts in them.
Turning Point/Trainee Life: Life was going well for the then 16 1/2 year old, she became more cheerful and was content with life. Her friends were aware how talented she was and accepted her for herself, but there was one thing no one was aware of, simply because she was too shy to do that in front of people. That was her love and talent for music. She had started composing and writing lyrics when she was 13, it was one of the things that helped her cope with her experiences. It didn't mean that they went away, but she learnt how to suppress them and concentrate on other things. On a rainy afternoon, while waiting for her friends to work on the cartoon, she was singing quietly to herself. Ayumu who had been in a hurry to get there due to the rain, heard a beautiful singing voice, but couldn't pinpoint whom it belonged to. His surprise was big when it turned out to be Mieko. He just knew that this voice should be shared with the world. He tried to persuade her to audition, but she kept refusing, thinking she was really bad. This was one of the times she was more stubborn than easily manipulated, but after even her brother joined their force, she gave in. She was aware that K-Pop seemed to be more strict in auditions than the American ones, so she went to (previous) New York headquarters to audition for JYP. However, once she actually auditioned, she was astonished how much she loved singing for people, moving them. She got through the auditions and then came the time,where she had to decide. Was she going to stay there or go to Korea? She had difficulties to decide. She wanted both, but knew it was impossible. In the end her friends helped her. They knew a new dream was sprouting inside of her and let her go with their blessings. They made up a reason why her character had to leave and thus started her new life and one of her fears. She is aware how often she changed careers, despite having been successful in all of them. Mieko also believes that with each job change, she slowly changes as well. She started to fear that she doesn't know what she wants anymore, but she shook those doubts away at first.
Debut Life/Now: At first Mieko was scared that they will flop big time, considering they decided to choose her song as their cover track, but her worries were squashed at their success. It seems that people liked their idea for the MV, the melody, the lyrics, but most importantly the different messages she wanted to send with the song. She was happy with their debut, but she was hesistant to do more. She didn't want to seem greedy somehow. Nevertheless, she enjoyed helping her other members fill their schedules, rehearsing with them. She was also glad to try out different activities without disguising herself since she herself wasn't that known. She also had time to write more songs for the group and continue her hobbies and help others behind the scenes. Still, her members were persistent and persuaded her to do more. They promised that things wouldn't change. They said that her being more recognized will help the group, so she started to take part in sitcoms, variety shows, auditioned for movie roles as well as drama and even musicals, but the only voice acting auditions she visited were for Anime in Japan, thinking it will help the group. As she got more screen time and showed her various talents as well as her amiable personality, she started to gain more fans as well as fame. However, since she was already experienced due to her childhood, it was only natural that she received lots of awards (she's still humble). Although she hadn't acted with her body in years, she still remembers everything, which surprised her. As she observed that each of her members started to focus more in a certain direction, aside from music, she felt the need to do the same. However, there was just one problem. She had no idea what to choose. This caused her to remember her past, she kept hearing them sing 'The monster, the monster, the oh so perfect monster, she's too perfect, she's a robot, she has no personality, she's no human~ No one can see her, no one can see her for who she is because she's too perfect~ The monster, the monster will be left alone because she has too many abilities, she will die alone since no one wants that perfect monster~'. She keeps suppressing those memories, letting no one see her inner conflict.

One of the biggest mysteries in the world of idols is finally being lifted! Sky Flowers' Emi's origin, heritage and past projects finally came to light! Although it's known that Emi is very friendly and encourages the people around her, there are barely any facts known about the idol herself. Even since Sky Flowers' debut, her real name has never been revealed, until now.
As previously mentioned, we managed to find out, where popular girl group member Emi's origins lie and thus finding various interesting information about the enigmatic idol. A sudden surprise visit from Japan reveals that the singer's acting abilities aren't just hard work and talent, but it seems the DNA also played a great role in it, as well as experience. The pair mentioned that they were in Korea for private reasons but it turns out that they were visiting their daughter and grandchildren. Emi's real name is Minami Mieko, daughter of the famous Japanese power couple, Minami Akihiko and Reika. Her father is the CEO and founder of 'Mirai Talent Agency' and owner of 'Namika Rai', whereas her mother is popular and famous actress Reika! Not to mention absolutely confirm and destroying any doubts that the twins she adopted, were her own children. They are indeed the children of her late brother.
This may certainly not be a surprise, seeing as her family being very involved in showbusiness, but Emi had been working as a child actress since birth before taking a break to study abroad when she was 11-12. There, Emi not only honed her language skills, but apparantly also her acting skills. She and her friends had started their own webcartoon, which quickly gained in popularity before her friends encouraged her to pursue a career in singing. This explains her amazing acting abilities of all kinds! We certainly are grateful for her friends encouragement and are looking forward her future projects. What do you guys think? Were you surprised to find Emi's real name, family or parts of her past?
Is Emi leaving Sky Flowers to become an actress in Japan? Is being a mother taking a toll on her? (2019/02/27)
Sky Flowers' Emi seems to be unable to catch a break from getting caught in rumours. Last year people found out about her family, the adoption, her relationship and recently, even about her artistic work.However, this time the topic is quite serious.
According to an anonymous informant, there had been quite a lot of arguments between the members of Sky Flowers, not only about their schedule and work, but also the children. It seems that apparantly taking of care of the children is finally taking a toll on her. Stress seems to be piling up as does her workload. Now people speculate that Emi will leave the group to return to her roots in Japan, by pursuing an acting career.
There seem to be quite a lot of people wanting her to return, but let us hope it's just an ugly rumour. What do you guys think? Should Emi leave or not? What's your opinion on this situation? Will Emi betray her fandom and group? Or just another big misunderstanding?
Sky Flowers' Emi's secret love children! A teenage mother? (2018/01/21).
Shocking news! It seems that Emi had an incredible secret as she has been seen with 2 children as they entered the dorm. They three of them seemed too close for mere babysitting service for friends.
The suspicions rise that they are actually Emi's own children! Thus raising many other questions, like who is the father, were the kids neglected with the idol's busy schedule, who had taken care of them and so on. However, it is incredibly important here to note the fact that the children seemed to be around 3-5, which means that the singer had to have them in either her teens or early twenties!
What an irresponsible and cruel decision if she had decided to abandon them, seeing as they were created while she was active! This may explain, why she had been so reluctant to start her own schedule. Did Emi really avoid getting more screen time and work because she actually wanted to rest for the children and hide her pregnancy? We don't know yet, but we will find out.
Emi's unbelievable decision (2018/01/24).
First of all, we want to apologize to Sky Flowers' Emi for being disrespectful and any grieve we may have caused. It was not in our intention to open old tragedies again and throw salt on the wounds. Therefore, we apologize deeply and hope this apology will be accepted.
It seems that the articles suggesting, including ours, the children were Emi's were wrong. In a press conference Emi had explained calmly and clearly as to who the children were, their parents and why they are currently with her. The idol had started taking care of them in 2015 due to the unfortunate accident her brother with his wife had. Sadly, they had both passed away shortly after the impact. The twins who had been staying with a friend during that time, were unaware of the circumstances. During the reading of the will, it turns out that Emi had been appointed as their guardian.
For the singer there was no moment of hesitation, They were the children of her brother and she couldn't possibly send them away or to her parents since she doesn't want to trouble them. She already loved the children before as if they were her own and now she will definitely protect them from harm and give them as much love as she possibly can. Just like her brother did for her. Emi plans on trying to reduce her schedule and spend time with the children. She also requested that the press will hold back from the childen as she doesn't want them to get caught up with that world until they are old enough. What do you think? Isn't this a heartwarming story?
Sky Flowers' Emi loving support for labelmate GOT7's comeback (2019/03/16).
There may have been a big misunderstanding in the past few months about Emi's relationship with two members of the group, but luckily it resolved quickly and didn't deter their friendship. As if to show off their close friendship, the idol posted a poster consisting of drawings of each member as they fly around a collage made up with private photos as well as pictures from fan meetings. Beneath everything are the adorable GoToons as they all get ready to fly, surrounding the sentence 'Give it your all GOT7 and fly together with Agahse!', giving a past reference towards their 2016 comeback and the celebration between them, Sky Flower and their fans. Isn't that a sweet support? It seems that Emi had spent quite some time to work on it, let's wish that GOT7 will do very well!
Behind Emi's seemingly innocent facedé! She is really a ert? (2019/02/02).
During a spontanous visit at the Japan's yearly Comiket, a convention, where people are crowding the area to get their hands on products of their favourite doujinshi circle. Therefore it's not uncommon to find a large amount of BL on the market, raging from innocent fluff to hardcore R18 rated comics.
However, an unexpected and very surprising discovery has been made! It seems the saying 'Don't judge a book by its cover' is a very wise and true sentence, since no one would have expected this idol to be here, despite her motherhood. We found Sky Flowers' Emi here in one of the selling booths, but not only that! It seems that she may not only be in the circle, but they might be her own work! Despite the circle's popularity, we were shocked with what we found. We had decided to take a look and the contents certainly weren't for the faint-hearted people.
After having confirmed that Emi seems to actually be part of that doujinshi circle, this discovery made us think. Was everything an act Emi had donve so all these years? Is the adoptive mother in reality an unbelievable ert? Are we jumping to conclusion or are we onto something? What is your opinion!
Big shock! Sky Flowers' Emi's sudden emotional outburst of rage (2018/12/22).
It has been nearly a year since it has come to light that Emi had adopted and taken care of her late brother's twins for 3 years now. Society slowly accepted this fact and the majority respected her wish for the children to be left out of the media.
However, this doesn't mean that everyone will respect that. One persistent reporter kept following Emi and wanted to take pictures of the twins, but she kept denying his respect and let the children hide their faces. She tried to get a cab to get away from the man, but he didn'T seem to know the words 'give up'. As he called out to the children, trying to make them stop and even tried to grab them. He accidentally made the girl fall, causing her to hurt herself. As if that wasn't enough, he just blatantly told her to get over it, saying it wasn't a big fall and even had took pictures of the crying child.
Of course it's natural for Emi to get mad, but no one would have expected her to react like that. She seemed like a different person from her normal self. Fire seemed to be in her eyes as she picked up the child and gave him to her brother, who had hid her again and tended to the wound. The young mother then marched up to the reporter and ripped his camera from him with a strength, no one would think she has. She proceeded to throw it on the ground, smashing it and trampling on it, completely destroying it. While the man started to yell at her and was about to attack her, she turned the tables on him by flipping him and pinning him to the ground. She then slaps him twice as she starts to yell at him, questioning his sanity and common sense, hurting her children. She even spouted vulgarities, one would never hear from her, she warned him about the consequences if that will happen again. Afterwards she left, leaving dumbfounded bypassers.
People are saying the reporter was at fault, but there are also a lot who say she may have overreacted. What do you think?
GOT7's Mark continues to support Emi by surprising her baskets full of apple treats (2018/12/28).
After her recent scandal with a persistent reporter, Emi has encountered some hardships, but luckily there are still people who continue to stay on her side and support her. For example GOT7's Mark, a close friend of the same label, who visited her during her filming for a new drama, surprising her with several baskets full of apple treats, her favourite kind of dessert. He even brought enough for the other cast and staff. What a close friendship, let's hope this will continue to be in the future as well!
Emi's going to be the new voice of Hani in the new rerun of the old loved animation 'Run, Hani, run' (2019/05/14).
Many years have passed since the old animation was finished, but now it's being renewed. New art, some differences in the plot and new characters, everyone has mixed reactions about this. Some are worried that this will ruin the classic, while some are are excited to see what these changes will bring. Another reason is Emi's first Korean voice acting debut, as lead to boot! It is known that this will not be Emi's first time to voice act, she had her own cartoon with her friends and taken other dubbing jobs in America, even after she debuted, she took various Seiyuu jobs in Japan. People are excited to find out how she will be in Korea.
Is Emi playing with the hearts of labelmates and same group members Mark and Junior? (2018/12/31).
It's a known fact that Emi is close with GOT7, especially Mark and Junior. However, lately it seems that there's more to the relationship between Mark and Emi. It has been speculated for quite some time that these two are actually a couple. Though neither of them confirmed or denied the relationship. However, it seems there is a new person in this relationship and it's Mark's own group member. Emi's other Sky Flowers members weren't in Korea due to different schedules and filmings, meaning that the Japanese child actress had been staying alone. Her niece and nephew seemed to have been at a friend's. Despite all those facts, Emi still welcomed a man into her home, GOT7's Junior. Was there more to their relationship than it seemed? Is she playing with both of them or is there mmore to the story?
Sky Flowers' Emi and GOT7's Mark confirm to be in a relationship and clear up misunderstandings (2019/01/04).
After the controversy, the company has confirmed the relationship between GOT/'s Mark and Sky Flowers' Emi. A lot of hearts must be broken by now, but what is with Junior then?
Well, it turns out that there has been a misunderstanding. While it's true that Mark and Emi are dating, she and Junior are just friends. He had been there to help her with some projects. Also, it turns out that the two weren't alone, as not only her niece and nephew were at home, but so were her parents, who had been staying with her during their visit.
