About the Photo

This is the image that Yanchan herself selected as her top favorite from the photobook. As she said, "I was able to capture a natural, unguarded expression that I don't usually show," this shot perfectly reflects her sparkling, radiant smile while also showcasing a refreshing, open expression as she enjoys an extraordinary experience in Europe.
