Fans talk about Sakura's image change over the years and chose which one they like best

AKP STAFF

Many might know Sakura from the popular Mnet idol survival program 'Producer 48' which gave birth to IZ*ONE and the K-pop group LE SSERAFIM.

But Sakura's music career started way before 'Produce 48' as she debuted with the Japanese girl group HKT48 in 2011 and was part of the sister group AKB48. She took a 2-year hiatus from the Japanese girl group after she placed second on 'Produce 48,' which led her to promote with IZ*ONE. 

Through her promotions with IZ*ONE, she received immense love and popularity in Korea. After IZ*ONE disbanded in 2021, she also graduated from HKT48 in the same year. In 2022, Sakura took a leap and started a new chapter of her career with LE SSERAFIM.

Although Sakura is part of the rookie idol group LE SSERAFIM, she has many years of experience in the entertainment industry. 

So recently, Korean netizens brought to attention Sakura's image change as she promoted with different groups over the years.

K-netizens joined the online community where the discussion about Sakura's best look took place, and shared their thoughts. They commented, "I think she was so cute on AKB but I love her styling when she's with LE SSERAFIM," "I love her pink hair when she was with IZ*ONE," "I pick LE SSERAFIM," "I pick LE SSERAFIM," "I think I first realize Sakura is pretty when I saw her promote with LE SSERAFIM," "I love her look when she was with IZ*ONE," "I can't get over her pink hair when she was with IZ*ONE," "I think she looked the most like a K-pop idol with IZ*ONE," "For me, IZ*ONE and LE SSERAFIM styling is the best," and "I love her with all of them."

Honestly, its really cool seeing the consistent evolution of Sakura and the way she presents herself on stage now vs the days of AKB48.

Sakura is an angel and so kind even with so many vocal haters in over 10 years. Love to see her shining these days.
