Recently, a popular Korean online community was buzzing with astonishment over the youthful appearance and remarkable talent of LE SSERAFIM's Sakura during her promotional activities with HKT48 in Japan.

Sakura began her music career at the shockingly young age of 13 with the Japanese group HKT48 in 2011. Since her debut, she has consistently built up her career as a singer, participating in the group AKB48, IZ*ONE, and finally finding her permanent place in the group LE SSERAFIM.

On July 18, one fan shared a photo of Sakura when she was active in the Japanese girl group and focused netizens' attention on Sakura's youthful appearance.

They wrote, "It's the photo when she was active with the Japanese girl group...She's so darn young,"  in a post titled, "Miyawaki Sakura's shocking past photo." 

Other netizens joined the community and wrote, "She's so adorable," "That was when she was a total baby," "She looks like an anime character," "She kind of looks like Park Shin Hye," "This was 10 years ago," "This is the first time I am seeing her young photo, she really looks like Park Shin Hye when she was young," "She was such a pretty baby," "Her career is so crazy," "Her career resume is so crazy," "Heol, she's a complete baby," "So cute!" and "She was in elementary school."
