Netizens were completely blown away by the stark difference between LE SSERAFIM’s Huh Yunjin in the US and her now.

As the main vocalist of HYBE Labels’ first girl group LE SSERAFIM, Huh Yunjin quickly drew attention from both domestic and international fans. As a result, old photos of the female idol also became the talk of town, and netizens can’t help but express their shock at Yunjin’s total transformation.

Born in 2001, Huh Yunjin made her first public appearance in the Mnet survival show “Produce 48”, as a trainee from Pledis Entertainment. She, along with her senior Lee Kaeun (former After School member), soon gained popularity with their chemistry, and Yunjin was even voted to be the Top 3 visual by other trainees in the program.

Having moved to New York, USA, since she was 8 month old, Huh Yunjin is a fluent English speaker with various past photos taken in this country. During her time in the US, Yunjin looked super fierce with heavy makeup and highlighted hair.

*With this Asian baby girl kind of style, nobody expected Yunjin to become a Kpop idol.*

*Some even compared the female idol to famous pop star Ariana Grande*

*Huh Yunjin looked like a whole badass in her old photos.*

Upon returning to Korea, Yunjin had her signature mole removed and her style changed to be more sweet and feminine.

Huh Yunjin in Korea and in the US look like completely different people. It seems that Source Music (subsidiary of HYBE Labels and agency of LE SSERAFIM) knows how to highlight the idol’s best feature, and create the visuals that we get to see today.

This transformation between pre-debut and after has become a hot topic on pann, which is full of netizens expressing their shock.

Below are some comments from netizens:

When did she come to Korea? Late 2017 or early 2018? I remember her being a 3-month trainee on “Produce 48”.
Wow, she looked like a real American.
Did she remove her mole? That makes her look so much better. Huh Yunjin truly shines on stage.
Those brows were totally on fleek! I truly love women with thick brows!
This kind of visual improvement… We have a whole masterpiece now.
Ever since her teaser with the water dropped, I’m unable to take my eyes off her. The new style totally fits Yunjin!
Seriously, how can that be the same person?
Her face shape and sharp features… truly a world’s wonder.
Such a change. Her visuals now remind me of Japanese actresses.
Her vibes completely changed, she really suits the Korean style.
