RIIZE‘s Wonbin was born on March 2, 2002, meaning he just celebrated his 22nd birthday.

Like most of the rest of RIIZE’s members, Wonbin debuted at a slightly “older” age than the typical idol at 21 (and a lot of fans appreciate that the group is made of all-adult members). That means he was still a trainee in his late teens and early 20s, although there aren’t a lot of pre-debut pictures or videos of him out there.

However, in celebration of his birthday, Wonbin himself decided to share some pictures and videos from his pre-debut days!

His visuals look pretty much exactly the same as they do now, albeit a little bit younger since he was reportedly around 18 or 19 at the time.

Even his side profile was just as handsome back then as it is now!

He seems to have kept his silly and playful personality from back then too, which is one of many things that fans adore about him.
