The story of Angie, known as "Global We;Na," highlights the deep bond that can form between K-Pop fans and their idols.

Angie, a dedicated supporter of We;Na, initially ran a global fanbase account, providing updates, translations, and news to fellow fans.

Her unwavering commitment didn't go unnoticed, catching the attention of We;Na's members and the CEO of their agency, RBC Amusement.

This unexpected recognition led to a groundbreaking announcement: Angie was officially appointed as the manager of We;Na's global marketing department.

The news sent shockwaves through the K-Pop community and was shared through an official notice from RBC Amusement, We;Na's parent company.

Angie's journey from devoted fan to a key figure in We;Na's marketing team is a heartwarming tale. She became a fan of the group before their debut, offering her support during their pre-debut phase.

Initially, the group interacted with her by liking her direct messages, but this escalated when CEO Rebecca Han of RBC Amusement started following Angie on social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram.

Their interactions moved beyond social media to KakaoTalk, where Angie received exclusive information about the group and sneak peeks of their upcoming songs from agency staff members.

CEO Han expressed her desire for Angie to be a part of We;Na's journey long-term, extending a formal offer for her to become the global marketing manager.

What sets this story apart is not only the fan-to-manager transition but also the heartfelt appreciation Angie received from the members' parents.

They expressed gratitude by sharing childhood photos of the girls who now pursue their dreams as members of We;Na.

The group itself also showed their gratitude, with promises of delicious food from Member Wony's father and offers to send Angie the members' autographs from Yeonseo's mother.

In a touching conclusion, Angie reflected on how We;Na had positively transformed her life and expressed excitement about their ongoing journey together.
