f(x) Krystal Becomes Hot Topic For Iconic Graduation Photos

In various online communities, the graduation photos of f(x) Krystal Jung are once again making buzz among netters for her legendary beauty.

Her photos were specially brought back amid viral graduation photos of 4th-gen K-pop idols such as IVE Jang Wonyoung, NMIXX Sullyoon, NewJeans Minji and more.

In particular, the 04-liners captured the hearts of web users due to their refreshing visuals that exude the vibe of being school uniform models. As they went viral, netizens can't help but reminisce and start mentioning Krystal, highlighting that even after 10 years since she graduated from high school, her graduation photos remain legendary even if will be lined up along with the current gen idols.

In February 2013, Krystal particularly graduated high school from the prestigious Hanlim Performing Arts High School.

At the time, Krystal only appeared with light makeup, flaunting her flawless and glowing skin. She also barely used face powder, lipstick and eye makeup, proving her natural beauty.

During the ceremony, the students were all required to wear their uniforms, but the young female idol at the time surely turned it into a luxury item– Krystal exuded elegance, chic and an alluring vibe that shone among Hanlim graduates.

During their heyday, the "4 Walls" singer is known for her cold aura similar to her older sister Jessica Jung, a former SNSD member, but when she attended her graduation, she really stood out for her vibrant image.

Throughout the ceremony, Krystal was seen smiling at everyone, showing her other side of being the sweet and lively star, contrary to the "RBF" (Resting B*tch Face) image fans established for her.

When fans and netizens saw Krystal's photos, they left comments such as:

• "It's impossible for her not to go viral with such beauty."
• "Krystal's graduation photos were still legendary among idols."
• "I can't take my eyes off of Krystal's beauty, then and now."
• "Her elegance remains even after 10 years."

Krystal Jung's Story of Being Scouted By SM When She Was 5 Years Old Re-Examined

While on the topic of her graduation photos, some netizens and fans also re-examined the story of Krystal being scouted by SM Entertainment when she was only 5 years old.

 "No wonder SM cast Krystal since as early as 5 years old."

In a broadcast, Krystal talked about being discovered by SM Entertainment when she was in kindergarten. Shockingly, she was only 5 years old at the time! In 2000, Jung's family who came from the US had a family trip to South Korea. She and her older sister was strolling outside when an SM staff approached them to audition for SM. While Jessica eventually became a trainee, their parents rejected the offer for Krystal as she was too young.

Later on, Krystal entered the entertainment industry as a child CF model and even made a cameo for Shinhwa's "Wedding March" MV. In 2002, the young star once again gained the interest of SM Entertainment when she was 7, and that's the time her parents finally allowed her to join the company. After training for about 7 years, Krystal debuted in 2009 as f(x) when she was only 14 years old.

Since then, her popularity skyrocketed, thanks to the group's hits, "Electric Shock," "Rum Pum Pum Pum," "Red Light" and more.

With her fashion sense and various charms, Krystal became Korea's "It Girl" and a trendsetter.
