Most normal?? Dude he competes with Riki ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜‚

Riki still wins the chaotic childhood pics. I thought my childhood pics were embarrassing until I got into ENHYPEN.

u/beelzebub2099 Oct 11 '25

Looks like some next-level bullying but might be a casual Aussie greeting idk ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€

I don't know if this counts since she technically had already debuted but it's never a bad time to post this gem

u/beelzebub2099 Oct 11 '25

To be fair it's kinda impossible to find a REAL pre-debut picture of Sakura because my girl got on that grind since she started walking lol

Also, adorable picture โค๏ธ

the valedictorian for a reason

ironically he looks less like a nerd here than he did in those hyyh concept pics where he wore shorts, suspenders, a beret, and glasses ๐Ÿ˜ญ

•

u/beelzebub2099 Oct 11 '25

He looks like he knows all the answers yet he made a song titled "Who" lol

u/Jeong_Hyeri Seven equals one our hearts still beat as one Oct 11 '25

He knows everything except who his heart is waiting for lol

u/Ball-Blam-Burglerber Oct 11 '25

Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo

Sana, Jihyo, Mina

Dahyun, Chaeyoung, Tzuyu

•

u/beelzebub2099 Oct 11 '25

The funny thing about this is that they're lined up in their official order. It goes like this
(Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, Tzuyu)

So 3rd is Momo, 4th is Sana, and 6th is Mina xD

•

u/jinifluff Oct 11 '25

Lol I should have been able to tell which one was Mina based on the expression on her face, seems so obvious now.
