QWER Fans Trace Siyoung's Footsteps in Osaka

On Saturday, February 21, 2026, three QWER fans known as 'Bawigeul' visited Osaka to trace the footsteps of member Siyoung, who recently joined QWER. Siyoung previously worked as an NMB48 member in Osaka and left various marks during her time there. The fans visited significant locations including the maid cafe 'At Home' where Siyoung worked, 'Cafe Anon' where she frequently enjoyed chocolate parfaits, and the NMB48 theater in Namba. Notably, some older male fans of Siyoung from NMB48 were spotted at the theater entrance after attending a QWER concert, demonstrating the overlapping fandom between her previous and current activities. The article notes that Osaka's well-developed regional culture and entertainment facilities are reasons why Japanese people don't need to travel abroad as much, with only half the passport ownership rate of South Korea. The pilgrimage concluded with a visit to 'Wanaka' takoyaki chain, recommended by Siyoung. This article captures the intersection of K-pop fandom culture and Japan's regional idol culture in an engaging manner.
