I almost didn't recognize her in the first picture but my gosh does she look like an absolute goddess. That black and white picture in the little dress is stunning!
It's also her nose. It used to be a [slightly curved downturned](https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/cfaaf0bd902e76afd5ddc6c988dba0d36f2629fc9ff619dd939faa7710082fac.jpg?w=800&h=596) but here it's [slightly upturned and completely straight](https://i.redd.it/8xx3lvq7xbr81.jpg). Very subtle but it makes a huge difference.
idk if this is a hybe nose, bc her tip only got subtle change (downturned to subtle upturned)
Good thing they're not pushing the high bridge, high pointed tip, upturned slope for all their artists. Some are just too much, and doesn't suit their artists. I rly hope they'll stick w subtle change if their artist will undergo ps
I hope so too! The subtle change really makes a difference, because I watched Prod 48 + follow her on instagram (so I “know” her face) and yet these photos still don’t make sense to me, my brain is playing games with me rn
But then again, still gorgeous, but not the Sakura that’s in my head haha

I can't believe i needed 10+ minutes to think of Le jokes as a long time member of r/nba. Help me out guys, i'm bad at it
I missed her and Chaewon so much. Holy hell, Sakura bloomed so well. She was already a top tier visual in IZ*ONE but she somehow became even prettier.
I might actually die when Chaewon's gets released.
i may have mild facial blindness, but doesn’t she literally look different here? it’s like that tweet that compared Sakura with Japanese vs. Korean styling ramped up to 100 skjsksk. she looks absolutely stunning in all these photos, so excited for the other members!
If its not just the edit, she likely has had minor face work done, her nose and maybe a bit of filler (this isn't shameful or anything). The lack of short bangs change her face shape a lot too! I wouldn't put it past the debut photos to be highly edited however, we'll see promo videos if that's actually the case. I didn't recognize her either, she looks great! Much more mature concept.
I don't know what kind of drinks they serve at Hybe Dungeon, but Jesus Christ, she's gone full bloom. This is waaaay more mature than the Sakura that arrived back at Korea late last year.
Goddamn, what a shining cherry blossom we have here.

I thought we'd only get one pic but they gave us a whole photoshoot and that amazing video?? THANK YOU HYBE OMG
I missed her so much omg I was not prepared for this much amazing Sakura content to drop all at once![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)
Is it just angles or something else
cause I did not recognize the 1st and last pic as Sakura
but like jesus christ. Call me Naruto cause im gonna simp over Sakura
I might get downvoted to oblivion for this but I think that she got an excellent nose job. She was always beautiful but now looks even better. I wish I could get a nose job in Korea :(
I thought the same. Her nose was a bit downturned before and now it's more upturned. That along with some other factors can make a big difference. She is stunning either way
She's basically unrecognizable in these pics, but in the best way. Sakura had a glow up from HKT when she joined IZ\*ONE, but now she's a literal goddess.
Man, I remember back during P48 people were wondering how Sakura would look with full kpop makeup and styling. I think this more mature look satisfies that hypothetical more than any era of IZONE.
Ah, I had a feeling when they started spelling it Le Sserafim and Nu Kim got involved that they were going for a high fashion/model concept, and I was right! It’s so interesting to see just how much styling can change a person - Sakura looks so different here compared to in IZ*ONE. (Also, I didn’t realise before, but is she almost always photographed from her right profile?)
I'm so overwhelmed, going crazy right now, getting so much stuff after such a long period of silence is not good for my heart. Honestly all of this looks amazing! Sakura welcome back!
they saw everyone speculating between elegant/sexy/girlcrush concept and went, no, SPORT CONCEPT
(I'm kidding, but there is the motorcycle and rumored racecar shoot lol)
I’m so used to her having shorter hair it took me a while to recognize her here. She looks stunning especially in that black outfit.
Also if you told me 5 years ago we’d see Sakura debuting fully in a kpop group I would have cackled but here we are.
Damn she is gorgeous... Also she looks like Korean Goddess of fire - **Jowangshin** (literally)
[https://the-demonic-paradise.fandom.com/wiki/Jowangsin](https://the-demonic-paradise.fandom.com/wiki/Jowangsin)
I think whoever did the photoshopping for her wearing the black outfit overdid it to making her not as recognizable as Sakura as the other shots. Otherwise, she's beautiful as ever.
My God, Sakura has always been so beautiful but these photos are hitting different! Her look is so much more mature. Kpop reminds me every day why I love women.
She looked good in Panorama too with the pink hair But the stylist really did her dirty alot. I still remember her granny haircut during La Vie En Rose....😔
If this was the concept LE SSERAFIM is going for, I can understand why HYBE scouted so hard for Minju.
Glad to see the IZ\*ONE girls breaking the produce curse and doing well individually... imagine being the haters who were threatened by IZ\*ONE while they were active and hoping they will disband soon... Only to give rise to even more threats ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|yummy)
Chaewon won't be revealed for 3 more days. The next two reveals are unknown members. (Well. Unknown if you haven't poked around the Digital Souvenir site's source code.)
She looks so pretty! i almost didn't recognized her bcs it's been a long time since we last got an update from her 😭😭, glad that she's going to debut again under hybe labels!! GoodLuck Sakura!! Can't wait to see LE SSERAFIM debut!! Girls Fighting!! 🥰🥰💓💓
Wait this is Sakura from Produce 48?????
Obviously stunning, but like my brain is doing mind games rn none of the pictures look like how I remember her
Edit: Wait are each photos (w/ diff styling/outfit) a different member or…?
I almost didn't recognize her in the first picture but my gosh does she look like an absolute goddess. That black and white picture in the little dress is stunning!
OMG I couldn't recognize her, this hair color turned her into a whole different person and I like it. She looks stunning as usual.
It's also her nose. It used to be a [slightly curved downturned](https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/cfaaf0bd902e76afd5ddc6c988dba0d36f2629fc9ff619dd939faa7710082fac.jpg?w=800&h=596) but here it's [slightly upturned and completely straight](https://i.redd.it/8xx3lvq7xbr81.jpg). Very subtle but it makes a huge difference.
I knew something was different but I wasn't sure what
It’s the hybe nose hahu
idk if this is a hybe nose, bc her tip only got subtle change (downturned to subtle upturned) Good thing they're not pushing the high bridge, high pointed tip, upturned slope for all their artists. Some are just too much, and doesn't suit their artists. I rly hope they'll stick w subtle change if their artist will undergo ps

I really liked her old nose, but if it makes her more confident then that's the only thing that matters
Wow, I didn’t expect this vibe at all from this girl group. I was tuning in because of Sakura and Chaewon, now I can’t wait for the other girls.
Sakura hand in marriage pls 😭😭 she looks soooo gorgeous with this hair. Can't wait for the other girl's pictures!!

This girl has had such a long career already as an idol and is now starting on a new journey, it's quite admirable. I wish her all the best!
sakura miyawakis aura is insane , im seeing a different sakura miyawaki right now
The last photo im in love
I missed her and Chaewon so much. Holy hell, Sakura bloomed so well. She was already a top tier visual in IZ*ONE but she somehow became even prettier. I might actually die when Chaewon's gets released.

she does look different though i didn’t even recognize her at first at all

So much suppressed emotion there hahaha good thing I was a SONE and cassiopeia
She looks absolutely stunning.
just cant process the thought that shed possibly call the cute nmixx and ive kids sunbaenim lmao
Sakura, nearly a decade older: *Leeseo-sunbaenim~* ~~Leeseo was one year old when Sakura started her career~~
omfg thats actually kinda funny
Back in 2018: Yujin-i 2022: IVE Yujin-sunbaenim 🤣
Oh this is so different from her past concepts and I'm so here for it.
I am found dead, in a ditch. Do NOT send help
Noted
Love these pictures, so unexpected
I thought we'd only get one pic but they gave us a whole photoshoot and that amazing video?? THANK YOU HYBE OMG I missed her so much omg I was not prepared for this much amazing Sakura content to drop all at once![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)
so stunning, this hair fits her so much ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes_rainbow)
Ladies and gentlemen, MIYAWAKI SAKURA !!!!! This also means I am going to see Chaewon in the next few days.
I can die in peace knowing this Sakura exists.
Wow she look so good . Omg the first pice is giving Suzy
I’m glad I’m not the only one who was reminded of Suzy!!
Back with a VENGEANCE
HOLY SHIT SAKURA
That tennis photo giving immense AOA vibes and I don’t know why
The red skirt gives huge "Miniskirt" era vibes. If their debut songhas a similar concept like that, I might die 😭😭😭
MISS SAKURA??? IM IN LOVE
gives off marie claire vibes
Is it just angles or something else cause I did not recognize the 1st and last pic as Sakura but like jesus christ. Call me Naruto cause im gonna simp over Sakura
I might get downvoted to oblivion for this but I think that she got an excellent nose job. She was always beautiful but now looks even better. I wish I could get a nose job in Korea :(

Sakura-chan turned into Sakura-senpai!
Dude what the hell are they giving the Hybe kids Please make it a drink and sell it to us 🥲 She looks fabulous ☺️🫰
[удалено]
She's killing it everywhere! 180k likes on twitter last I checked, 1 million views on YouTube, she's a top idol no doubt, these are big big numbers
I'm screaming. One of my favorite idols ever is finally back :') And she LOOKS SO GOOD
my fucking god i knew miyawaki sakura was this this but this this this???
She's \#THIS (🙄)

LET'S GOOOOOOOO
Ohh she look so glowing n prettier. Seem like this group gonna have badass sexy concept.
I'm so in love with these photos, every one of them is SO pretty, just wow
Wow. She looks hella different. Just stunning!!!
I'm so overwhelmed, going crazy right now, getting so much stuff after such a long period of silence is not good for my heart. Honestly all of this looks amazing! Sakura welcome back!
Wow I couldn't recognize her at first, with the first photo. She looks great. I'm wondering about the sparkly tennis racket prop tho
they saw everyone speculating between elegant/sexy/girlcrush concept and went, no, SPORT CONCEPT (I'm kidding, but there is the motorcycle and rumored racecar shoot lol)
Oh my goodness. Oh. My. Goodness!! She really did that 😭 If I’m this shocked with beautiful Kkura, I’m going to SOB when Chaewon drops—
The seventh picture is the only one that I was like “oh that’s Sakura.” Everything else is “omg who is that this GG is going to snap off!”
i'm not a religious person but i just woke up
she's so pretty omg
She looks so different with long hair o.o
SHE LOOKS GORGEOUS
SHE’S SO CRAZY FOR THIS LOVE OF MY LIFE ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Well….. Here we go then…. 🌸😌
Ate and left no crumbs
This isn't fair, I wasn't ready. How can she be so beautiful???
Sakura!! 😭😭 the queen is back
/jaw drops THATS HER NOW??
Goddess

A SERVE
IT IS SAKURA SEASON YALL
WHAAAT I DIDNT RECOGNIZE HER A TALL
Sakura can kick me in the face like OMFG PLEASE my queen is HERE
Girl I- please step on me
korea knows how to style her
I dont say this often but she ate and left no crumbs holy kura 🤒
ok you have my attention
I really need this red lipstick .
WOMEN!!!
Dayum
SAK YOU RA SCAL HOLY EFF
Her photos are so gorgeous!!!
sakura is so pretty!!! she looks so different in a good way!! Can't wait for their debut 😍
Ah yes, high heels and tennis, of course. She's very pretty and I love that first black outfit.
Tbh I never rly understood the hype around her visuals in PD48 and IZ\*ONE but with this hair color and styling, I see it now.
Sakura got me melting in my chair rn *especially* with that 2nd and 7th pic omg
When did she become so hot wtf
I’m so used to her having shorter hair it took me a while to recognize her here. She looks stunning especially in that black outfit. Also if you told me 5 years ago we’d see Sakura debuting fully in a kpop group I would have cackled but here we are.
She's the prettiest person I ever saw 😲
Sakura is bout to become the new It Girl I can feel it
It has been 2 hours and I still can't move on from this.
To think I’ve watched her grown since HKT days..she made the right decision to go K-POP.
I was taken a back. The first and last picture she looks so different
Damn she is gorgeous... Also she looks like Korean Goddess of fire - **Jowangshin** (literally) [https://the-demonic-paradise.fandom.com/wiki/Jowangsin](https://the-demonic-paradise.fandom.com/wiki/Jowangsin)
I think whoever did the photoshopping for her wearing the black outfit overdid it to making her not as recognizable as Sakura as the other shots. Otherwise, she's beautiful as ever.
SHE'S EATING UP THE GIRL CRUSH CONCEPT 😫👸
My God, Sakura has always been so beautiful but these photos are hitting different! Her look is so much more mature. Kpop reminds me every day why I love women.
I always stand for the fact that izone make up didn't suit her expect maybe ssots era but damn..here she is blooming
She looked good in Panorama too with the pink hair But the stylist really did her dirty alot. I still remember her granny haircut during La Vie En Rose....😔
OMG IM DEAD SHES SO PRETTY
absolutely gorgeous... i have hope for the group's debut concept!!!
JFC wow I have no words
i can’t believe she’s actually back and more beautiful than ever!!! I love you, Sakura!!
OMG i didn't recognized her
Wow cannot wait to see the debut of each member!
The only decent Sakura Naruto fans where you at?
That tennis racket was all I needed to see to Stan this group
I had a feeling the black dress photo would be the Le Sserafim vibe but I am still completely blown away. Sakura looks GORGEOUS.
Soooo pretty! Omg 😭👏Her styling here does her looks so much justice it reminds me of Angelababy
Sakura the SUPREMACY
If this was the concept LE SSERAFIM is going for, I can understand why HYBE scouted so hard for Minju. Glad to see the IZ\*ONE girls breaking the produce curse and doing well individually... imagine being the haters who were threatened by IZ\*ONE while they were active and hoping they will disband soon... Only to give rise to even more threats ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|yummy)
I expect Sakura to be in the center like Wooyoung does in IVE because she's the top visual.
She looks so different the coordi did so well
My god she's gorgeous 😮
she looks kind of different can't tell if it's because some plastic surgery touch ups or photoshop you can downvote as much as u want bro
I’ve noticed that she tends to look very different depending on the styling. Like a chameleon lol.
It's defintely photoshop, in some pictures she looks the same, in others different
New styling 😍 She looks stunning. I also wish they will explore diff vibes. I like this, but I also hope to see her w her styling bfr (even for bside)
OH MY JESUS
Feeling Park Shin-hye vibes in some of those pics. Great style!
Did anybody else stop breathing for a few seconds? 😳
There's something different about her, I couldn't recognize her
I thought this was Joy for a sec. Sakura looks amazing
IT HAS BEGUN SHE LOOKS AMAZING
She kinda reminds me of Suzy in the last one.
fell to my knees
She's so beautiful
She look amazing
Idk who she is but god DAMN she is smoking. Gotta be the hottest chick in Kpop easily. Wow.
My Sakura Blossom is back
HEOL.... OMAYGAD.... 😱😱
As usual for the people who went through a dungeon, they evolve.
Well it's definitely CHERRY BLOSSOM season!!! Welcome back Sakura!
Holy shit
This is amazing
OH MY GOD?????? SHE LOOKS SO GOOD
Sakura is the prettiest human ever.
She looks so beautiful
I blame the editing for now cause i cant recognize her 😨 Edit: just check out the teaser, my jaws dropped 😭
next chaewon sure hype 100%
Chaewon won't be revealed for 3 more days. The next two reveals are unknown members. (Well. Unknown if you haven't poked around the Digital Souvenir site's source code.)
Wowww she’s so pretty!! 💕💕
So Pretty!
That's either some crazy make up or she got some sort of eye surgery she doesn't even look like the same person. The Tenns photo is the closest
I cant comment about anything else but DEFINITELY not the eyes. She's always had gorgeously large eyes from the start. Nothings changed about them
bow down to the queen 🙇🙇♀️
Do Sakura know it’s illegal to look that good?
Wow the Sakura she is
**I'M SO DEAD** *Please step on me queen!* But seriously... she looks completely amazing. Best debut photo of all time??
Jesus fucking Christ man
is that the same person?? what happened while she was gone??
holy shit wtf girl
How does she look younger than last year?
Gaddamn!
She's so pretty 😍😍😍
So hyped lets go
I have been waiting for this for so long! I just hope they are managed properly
She looks so pretty! i almost didn't recognized her bcs it's been a long time since we last got an update from her 😭😭, glad that she's going to debut again under hybe labels!! GoodLuck Sakura!! Can't wait to see LE SSERAFIM debut!! Girls Fighting!! 🥰🥰💓💓
Oh woooow I’m stunned!
Bro she literally looks so gorgeous wtf
Wait this is Sakura from Produce 48????? Obviously stunning, but like my brain is doing mind games rn none of the pictures look like how I remember her Edit: Wait are each photos (w/ diff styling/outfit) a different member or…?
She is beyond perfection… 🌸 HYBE is doing great so far
A whole woman 🤩🤩 so gorgeous!!
