"MZ wannabe icon" RAY introduced the second part of an online travel series to promote "fun city" Nagoya.
The agency Starship Entertainment recently revealed a new episode of the YouTube channel "Try It Out with Celsius Shipdo," featuring RAY.
Previously, RAY introduced her hometown through a video of an online travel series about Nagoya, and she noted, "I wanted to share some famous restaurants that I couldn't introduce in the last video and those I visited during my recent vacation," while introducing the second part of her online journey.
RAY said, "When I think of an online trip, I felt like I should introduce some special restaurants. But last night, I suddenly thought, 'I'm from Nagoya; what can I share? I really need to tell about the places I go,'" hinting at her recommended "authentic restaurants."
RAY started the online travel in full swing, introducing the restaurants featured in the previous video as well as those visited during her recent vacation using an online map. The first location was the "RAY-pick" udon shop introduced in the last video, where RAY added effort to her introduction by saying, "I couldn't properly introduce the menu last time, so I took photos this time," coupled with detailed descriptions and genuine reactions that evoked smiles while discussing the menu she shared with her grandfather and mother.
Next, RAY introduced a yakiniku restaurant she has been visiting since childhood, a casual eatery called "kissa-ten," and a place serving spicy ramen where customers can choose the level of spiciness. RAY enhanced the immersion of the online trip by recommending photo spots to create an SNS-friendly atmosphere along with menu photos.
In addition, RAY highlighted various chain stores. RAY mentioned, "I often visit chain stores. You might think that a restaurant must be beautiful, old, or have a special menu to be called a famous restaurant, but to me, these places are also famous restaurants," while introducing a cafe famous for its morning set, a cafe that changes its menu with the seasons, and a ramen shop notable for its cute restaurant character.
Through the online journey, RAY's influence was also evident. The reviews left by her fans were abundant for the restaurants RAY introduced in the first part of the online trip. RAY expressed disbelief at the production team's comment that "some fans visited after seeing your recommendations," but after discovering actual feedback from fans, she was pleasantly surprised and continuously expressed admiration. Later, RAY read the reviews left by fans with a satisfied smile on her face.
After concluding the second part of the online trip, RAY said, "People around me say Nagoya is a 'boring city,' but I don't understand why they say that. I want to let them know how fun it is." She added, "I hope you can refer to the restaurants introduced today when traveling to Nagoya. This time, it was mainly about food, but if I go to Nagoya again on 'Try It Out,' I want to introduce fun activities too" and emphasized, "Until the day I can spread how much of a 'fun city' Nagoya is, I will not give up."
Meanwhile, RAY delivers various entertaining content every Thursday at 7 p.m. through the YouTube channel "Try It Out with Celsius Shipdo."
