Hi all, I'm having problems trying to convert a private key to a P2WSH address.

Using the tool provided on this site: https://secretscan.org/Bech32, the P2WSH address obtained for private key '1' is
Code:
bc1qpac4ht6afshdx2tctnhjnetz7u6g3j9zhwwmc4cqkdsa2jumq42qd3drf7
, which is the same as the result generated by the tool provided on github: https://github.com/fortesp/bitcoinaddress.

But when I use bitcoin core, the address I get using private key '1' is
Code:
bc1qrp33g0q5c5txsp9arysrx4k6zdkfs4nce4xj0gdcccefvpysxf3qccfmv3
, which can be confirmed here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0173.mediawiki/#examples

Why is there this discrepancy?

Best regards.
