Myrtle's outfit for Nami were an orange wig, a teal bikini top, and jeans, topped off by the blue tattoo that Nami has on her left arm.
"Nahiya ako tapusin 'yung sayaw," Myrtle admitted of her short performance in the video's caption, adding that she would livestream playing "Garena Call of Duty: Mobile" while dressed up as Nami.
