IVE Wonyoung, video from her elementary school days released! Working hard on a presentation

A video of IVE's Wonyoung from her elementary school days has been released.


In the video, we see a cute Wonyoung. Her face has a resemblance to her current appearance, but her height is shorter than her classmates. She gives a fresh impression.


Wonyoung went to an English kindergarten and graduated from Shinyongsan Elementary School in Seoul. She says that when she was little, her dream was to become an announcer or a lawyer. In the video, she seems to be giving a presentation.


Yes, she's so cute. This girl is what makes the area so lively.


She was a lively, active, and positive girl.
Seeing Wonyoung here, I truly understand what Wonyoung is like now.


Her facial features, aura, and outward appearance make her seem like a shy and very sensitive girl.


Ever since her audition for "Produce 101," I'd wondered where her cheerfulness and generosity came from.


So I'd always seen her as a quiet girl who spent her time alone at home and only spoke when necessary with her family.


Because of this preconceived notion, I'd switched gears when she appeared in front of her fans or on stage and seen her as an excellent talent who was full of brightness and playfulness.


Well, I liked the Wonyoung I saw on the surface, so I didn't really mind if the reality was different.


To digress a little, there may be quite a few talents who don't show their real lives and work as singers or actors/actresses with two faces like that.


Now, when you show old photos of active talents and play "who is this girl?" there are quite a few talents who you have no idea who they are.


In the case of Wonyoung, even though my memory and imagination are rapidly declining, I was able to smoothly overlap the image of the girl in this photo with Wonyoung.


I don't mean to brag, but if you get this wrong, it's not "WIZONE".


Oops, I was wrong. It was "DIVE".


I get the impression that Wonyoung has just gotten older and bigger.


And I also thought, "Is this even possible?"...


I admit that Wonyoung is this girl, but I'm sure there are many fans who can't believe that she has grown into the Wonyoung of today.

Wonyoung's face is not much bigger than it was back then (?), but her limbs and torso have grown long and slender, and she has proportions that would put any model walking down the runway at Paris Fashion Week to shame.


If you showed pictures of Wonyoung and this girl to an ordinary person who isn't from "DIVE", would they be able to match the two...?
