Yuna is the tallest member in the group, but just like the other maknae, she has a lot of aegyo or cuteness to show to her members. Although Yuna has a bright personality, when she’s doing a broadcast VLive alone, she is calmer and talks with a soft tone instead.

But before she turned into the beauty icon of the 4th gen of K-pop idols, Yuna was a little girl from Suwon, Gyeonggi. She was born on December 9, 2003. Just like what she is in ITZY, she’s also the youngest child in her family. In Suwon, Yuna lived with her parents and her older sister. Her relationship with her older sister is so close. JYP Entertainment’s scouter recruited Yuna when she and her older sister watched the year-end music festival together in 2015. Before she debuted with ITZY, Yuna once appeared in BTS‘s music video, Love Yourself, and other female trainees from other companies.

But Yuna proofed that she’s not just one lucky girl. She showed such impressive acting despite her young age. Yuna is just like Jungkook, after all. She’s indeed maknae on top!
