Popular AKB48 Members Spotted In Seoul For Produce48

More anticipation builds for Produce48, as AKB48 members have been spotted flying in and out of Seoul through Gimpo International Airport.

96 trainees will compete against each other to form a Korean-Japanese project girl group. 48 girls from AKB48 and 48 girls from South Korean entertainment agencies will appear on the program.

 

Though the members tried to cover up in masks, fans recognized AKB48 girls without difficulty. Here is one of the more highly celebrated participants, Sakura Miyawaki, posing for pictures at the airport.

 

Sakura Miyawaki was spotted maskless around Seoul as well. Even though the program is yet to begin, her strong visual has accumulated many fans in Korea.

 

Another popular member, Jurina Matsui, was also spotted at the airport. She took the time to wave at the camera, for her Korean fans! Her keen sense of “airport fashion” is already going viral among her fans.
