K-Pop idols change throughout the years and many fans are always shocked by the changes. From their debut until now, many idols have gone through drastic transformations. Whether physically or mentally, they have turned into the idols that we know from debut to the ones we love today!
Some idols start youthful and young then soon blossom into mature, sophisticated idols. Some of them even started as shy and then soon burst into a confident artist as the years passed. Since so many idols have changed since their debut, we picked out some that notably stood out to us from their debut journey until current activities. Here are some idols we think had a major change from their debut until now!
