On January 18, An Yujin shared a series of photos from her middle school days, captioned simply with “2016.”

The photos, believed to be taken when she was in her first year of middle school, reveal a youthful and radiant An Yujin. In one snapshot, she’s smiling gently under the sunlight, showcasing her natural side profile. Another selfie taken up-close highlights her fresh, innocent charm.

One playful photo stands out, showing Yujin holding a giant red lips-shaped cushion in front of her face while posing inside what appears to be a store, reflecting her fun-loving and cheeky personality even back then.

An Yujin first entered the spotlight in 2018 as a member of the project group IZ*ONE, formed through Mnet’s audition program Produce 48. After IZ*ONE’s disbandment, she re-debuted in 2021 with IVE, quickly rising to fame again with chart-topping hits like LOVE DIVE and I AM.

Fans are touched not only by the sweet throwback but also by how her beauty and charisma were evident even in her early teens. The photos serve as a heartwarming reminder of her journey from a bright young student to one of K-pop’s leading idols.
