For Yulie, Rara's distinctive characteristic is in every genre of song, she has her own version, if it's dangdut, her cengkok is different and not too excessive, but it sounds good.

"It can be said that the cengkok is simple but addictive, and in other genres, she also has her own version, especially when it comes to high notes, when Rara sings, it's not forceful but the high notes are still reached," explained Yulie.

The story of Rara's family struggle apparently impressed Yulie. Yulie was also motivated, one of which was Rara's story that apparently came from a humble family, not from a wealthy family. What made Yulie even more impressed was that although the family had economic limitations, it did not reduce their spirit to achieve their dreams.

"Rara's mother's struggle is extraordinary, since Rara was 1 year old her father was already sick, so her mother took over the position of the backbone of the family, and what's even more impressive is that Rara and her sibling never complained," said Yulie.

"If her mother says that the family has difficulties, there is no need for people to know, the important thing is that the family supports each other," she continued.

For KLovers who are confused about what a spender is? So, in live streaming applications, there is something called a gift spender, and that's what Yulie and her friends on Rara's support team do. People give small tips through gift spending.

"This is Rara's real bigo account, and what I circled is called Family Bigo, which is officially registered at the Bigo headquarters. If I'm not mistaken, Rara, an alumni artist from LIDA/DA, is the one who has her own Family Bigo. We TSRs created and manage it," said Yulie.
