the most recent pre-debut pictures of korean celebs circulating around the net are of SeeYa’s Nam Gyu-Ri and SMer’s Go Ara, Yoona (SNSD), and SeoHyun (SNSD) [group pic].
netizens are saying that Nam Gyu Ri is unrecognizable because of the difference in “image.” in her pre-debut pics, she’s sporting that k-popper wanna-be hip-hopper fobby look i.e. dyed orange hair and red lipstick. this has got to be circa the late 90’s. (sheepishly admitting: i can kind of relate to this look).
i don’t think she looks that different from her present day self compared to the pre-surgery pics i saw of miss nam floating around.
taken during her dance team days. (i didn’t know she can dance?!) vs. most recent cyworld sel-ca pics.
vs.
SNSD & Go Ara (SM)
these pre-debut pictures show the young teens during their even younger single digit years – possibly when they were under 10 yrs! geez… i feel old.
어리다고 놀리지말아요
수줍어서 말도못하고
어리다고 놀리지말아요
스쳐가는 얘기뿐인걸
어리다고 놀리지말아요 .

enjoy!

;0 looks like it could be around 2002~
kangta’s pine tree poster and shinhwa’s 6th album poster is on the wall~
which means go ara was around 12 at that time (she’s a 1990er, no?)
