Female singer who kicked the first goal for her hometown’s football team as soon as she returned to Korea

IVE An Yujin appeared at Daejeon Hana Citizen’s home game in the 22nd round of “Hana 1Q K League 1”.

Hana Financial Group’s new advertising model An Yujin kicked the first goal and prayed for Daejeon’s victory at the home game held at Daejeon World Cup Stadium on July 12th.

When the news of An Yujin’s appearance spread, all seats on the first floor were sold out within 5 minutes of ticket sales opening, and the heat poured out even before the game.

When An Yujin, who returned from IVE’s first concert in Bangkok, Thailand, appeared on the ground, exclamations poured out from the audience. The commentators and referees could not hide their joy.

As if to repay this, An Yujin succeeded in kicking the first goal and enjoyed the joy of the goal with a bright ceremony.

Born in Seo-gu, Daejeon, An Yujin is the “daughter of Daejeon” who spent her elementary and middle school days in Daejeon.

An Yujin, who went to see the Melon Music Awards held at Gocheok Dome in Seoul with her friend when she was in middle school, said she dreamed of becoming an idol after watching the singers’ performances.

She sent photos and songs that she sang without accompaniment to Starship. After passing the first round, she went through a second face-to-face audition in Seoul with her mother and finally passed.

An Yujin made her debut by appearing in a music video just a month after joining the company.

Soon after, she made her face known in earnest by appearing in a Clear Teen commercial with Cha Eun Woo as well as an Acuvue lens commercial.

In 2018, at the age of the third year of middle school, she challenged the girl group survival audition program “Produce 48” hosted by Mnet and debuted as a member of girl group IZ*ONE.

After project group IZ*ONE’s disbandment, An Yujin debuted with IVE in 2021 and has been active since then.

An Yujin, who has outstanding abilities in various fields such as vocal, dance and entertainment, has been standing tall as IVE’s leader.

An Yujin became a representative of 4th-generation girl groups with her solid basic skills, beautiful voice and excellent dance moves.

In addition, she is receiving a lot of love with the nickname “crazy girl with bright eyes” for showing off her easy-going charm and great sense of entertainment in seasons 1 and 2 of the entertainment program “Earth Arcade”.
