[WATCH] TREASURE Jung Hwan's SOPA Graduation Moment Sparks Online Frenzy
TREASURE, the popular K-pop group known for their tight bond and lively interactions, has once again found themselves in the spotlight, this time at the graduation ceremony of member Junghwan from the prestigious School of Performing Arts Seoul (SOPA).
Supportive Display at Junghwan's Milestone
Amidst the celebratory atmosphere of Junghwan's graduation on February 7, his bandmates from TREASURE made sure to leave a memorable impression.
As Junghwan's name was called, the group stood proudly on the sidelines, waving banners and cheering loudly in a show of solidarity and support.
Junghwan's Endearing Reaction
A notable moment captured during the ceremony was Junghwan's reaction to his bandmates' enthusiastic display of support.
Despite attempting to maintain composure on stage, Junghwan couldn't suppress a smile as he watched his comrades cheering him. Even as he left the stage, his "embarrassment" at the raucous cheers from his bandmates was evident.
