IVE’s An Yujin has sparked buzz online after unexpectedly sharing photos from 10 years ago.

On January 19 KST, An Yujin posted several photos on her Instagram along with the simple caption “2016.” The images show her during what appears to be her first year of middle school.

In the photos, An Yujin exudes a fresh and youthful charm, yet her distinct facial features already stand out—looking remarkably similar to her present-day appearance. Many fans noted how seamlessly her childhood visuals connect to the confident image she has today.

Netizens reacted enthusiastically, leaving comments such as “She was already a finished visual in middle school,” “She looks exactly the same,” and “She looks like a baby.”

Meanwhile, An Yujin’s agency Starship Entertainment announced on January 17 that IVE is set to make a comeback in late February. Following their comeback promotions, IVE will meet global fans through their second world tour, "Show What I Am".
