  • Rakuten Girls cheerleader Li Enfei has released her first physical photobook, titled “Han Ni Fei,” after a production trip to Busan, South Korea.
  • The project features a range of looks and was designed to show sides of Li beyond her familiar sweet image at the stadium.
  • The production team also reported unexplained incidents involving a missing swimming ring and footsteps heard near an empty bathroom, which Li later described as a memorable experience.

Li Enfei’s first physical photobook marks a deliberate break from the sweet image that made her popular as a Rakuten Girls cheerleader. The book, titled “Han Ni Fei,” was photographed in Busan, South Korea, and includes traditional Korean clothing as well as more mature and sensual looks.

Li said the book could be her only physical photobook, which made the project especially important to her. She took part in discussions about the clothing, locations and visual style, hoping to preserve the version of herself she currently likes most and show fans more than her on-field persona.

This is my first physical photobook, and it may also be my only one, so I put a lot of thought into preparing it. I hope to preserve the version of myself I like most right now.

— Li EnfeiShe explained why she treated her debut photobook as an important personal project.

The cheerful Busan shoot also acquired an unsettling side story. A swimming ring used as a prop disappeared from a room and was later found inside a wardrobe. Staff members said none of them had put it there.

At the time it was a little creepy, but looking back, it is also a rather special memory. Maybe it came to give Han Ni Fei a boost, and I hope it is a good sign that the photobook will sell well.

— Li EnfeiShe reflected on the unexplained events during the Busan shoot.

Later that night, the team heard sounds resembling footsteps coming from the bathroom. When they checked, nobody was there. Li said the moment felt frightening at the time, but she now laughs about it and suggested it might have been a lucky sign for strong sales.

She described the photobook as containing “sweet, bitter and spicy” elements, spanning a fresh natural mood, a more confident style and mature sensuality. For Li, the project records what she considers her best current image and offers supporters a different view of her life beyond the stadium.

Sweet, bitter and spicy.

— Li EnfeiShe used the phrase to describe the photobook’s varied visual styles.
