When the images were shared, netizens couldn’t get over the visuals from Sullyoon.

Even before the group debuted and JYP released the teasers for each of the members, Sullyoon gained attention for her flawless performance and visuals that seemed unreal.

Yet, the main topic of the forum wasn’t just about Sullyoon’s visuals. In particular, netizens discussed the fact that all of these images were evidence of why Sullyoon has been dubbed the “Monster Rookie” for years.

According to many online sources, before being cast through a private audition for JYP and joining the company in 2020, Sullyoon also succeeded in auditioning for YG Entertainment and SM Entertainment. For many, this is a huge achievement as they are seen as the “Big 3” K-Pop companies.

If that wasn’t enough, in the same post, netizens noticed that alongside these companies, Sullyoon also passed auditions for more companies before eventually joining JYP.

According to netizens, she passed the audition for TS Entertainment in 2017 but also went on to succeed in trying out for Fantagio, FNC Entertainment, and was a trainee for Woollim Entertainment. It shows that the idol actually passed auditions for six of the most well-known companies in Korea.

It seems as if Sullyoon has showcased her true talent over the years and why her visuals alone didn’t carry her through the industry. Even during their latest performances of their debut track, “O.O,” Sullyoon has showcased that her reputation isn’t just words and that she can back it all up.
