@clark3341 ah I guess that makes sense. It still makes me sad, because almost every single celebrity that started as a child has said they regret it. And the thing about parents is that sometimes they only want to exploit their children for money, and literally don’t care about their actual wellbeing.

@@cosas_de_gatosyeah Seowon is a special case 13yo. Shes not like most aspiring trainees. She’s been on Korean TV since she was 7 so entertainment industry has been her home.

Every idol who debuted that young in the past has openly shared how damaging it is, yet people use them as positive examples to normalise this. The industry should evolve instead of repeating the same mistakes but as long as people support it, nothing will change. Yeonjun's reaction is even more understandable since he knows in person how the industry can even ruin fully adult idols' mental and physical health.
@@orion5445tbh 16 is still minor and shouldn't debut. Because an idol debuting at 16yo means that he/she started training way before at like 12 or 13. And trainee life is as bad as idol life. We should normalize debuting 18yo adults. Bc minors can be sexually assaulted it's really bad
Taemin, Jungkook, Niki, Jennie, Boa. A huge amount of idols debuted at 13 or 14yo and unfortunately it's very damaging for them. It's an age where they need their parents, a social life and education. Depriving them from that can cause serious personality disorders. The parents are to blame as well tbh bc how can you let your child in such an abusive industry??
why you have to put down on others just to prove your point, you’re making it look they dont deserve to be in Unis. just say it very simple, even Wonyoung her idol, Seowon’s idol started very young in her idol career, what is Wonyoung age again when she won in IZ*One ??? Even the maknaes of New Jeans, Babymon, or even BOA I read really started as very young idols.

We’re talking about a country where recently they’ve had on the news talking about the AI images and videos of female idols, especially under age ones that have been circulating on the Internet. Ones where these girls are put into really disgusting positions or on pornographic images and videos that they can’t do anything to protect them from some of them that look very realistic. We’re talking about a country where we’ve had literal children of the ages of 13 and 14 deep viewing who has adults have come out and talked about how they felt sexualize how it led them having eating disorders it led to them having body dysmorphia how they went through really dark depressive episodes how they were having a lot of issues because of the fact that, no matter how hard the companies may try. They’re going to sit there and be exposed to the dark side of that industry. We’re talking about an industry where we’ve seen several stars. We’re talking actors, actresses or idols grow up and take their own lives before they even reach the age of fucking 25 because of how bad it is and how bad it gets so they’re already enough laws protecting idol that are grown adults, let alone children so they should not be debuting them.
@@iambarryallen Shes a child training in an adult industry so its not even gonna be catered towards her needs and also, the diets and restrictions are unhealthy on her as shes not even grown yet plus you've seen what the choreographies like.

This is really weird like the comments are annoying me fr and your excuse is "well its been happening for years" Ok and your point?

Like ig you like seeing little girls perform right? And u like seeing them being overworked right? And you like seeing them have strict diets right? Just to satisfy your needs (sorry if i did any spelling mistakes)
Yeah... That's so weird...! Even though people who let a pass just because she's talented and perform well or that's it's her dream doesn't make it right to debut a minor... There would always have sexualization for Kpop Idols just look at Taemin case from Shinee. That's just... Not right...? What about her contract though? Does she earn something already or not?

A 13 years old still shouldn’t be normalized at all. The only thing that should be normalized is being of right age and having actual talent but nah the companies only care about looks & most are afraid to debut people over 21+
i I think everyone have concerns about some creepy fans sexualizing idols. You're right about these young idols should not be normalize in Kpop, but nowadays even you're not famous or even you're not in a big crowd, there's always cases of disrespecting young girls even you're not in the spotlight can't you see that it's people problems we can't control others to be respectful young girls should always be brave to survive in this problematic world
Honestly it's fair. I think it is very interesting how many people say "but her parents support it!" but her parents can't control every aspect of her life. Not only that, but it's a job. She's also *just* barely 13, she literally just graduated ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. She looks like a child, because she *is* a child. Yes, she is talented. Yes, she wants to do this. But if a child wants to drive a car, do we let them? No, because it isn't safe. Just like what is needed for industries in other countries like the US for better protection for kids in areas such as acting and children groups (there have been several cases in the US where there have been children's groups or youtube channels how even with parental supervision and a strong desire from the children, abuse *still* happened) to simply prevent these children from getting jobs, period. Having worked a job at a young age, at age 13 before you're supposed to, it really is damaging. Even if it is something simple, it is too much stress for a young child, even if it *is* their dream or desire. Seriously, the reaction is valid. IMO, nobody should be debuting until they're *at least* 16, the same age where they can have a job, simply because of developmental maturity. And on top of that, companies need to be held accountable to keep safe places for these artists, and especially their trainees since inevitably they'll also be younger. There should also, overall, and quite unachievable unfortunately, just be better monitoring on the internet to eliminate or minimize hate and perverts, just in general for protection of like, literally everyone, but especially minors. That's all. She's literally a child. Super talented, but rn she should be focusing on going to school and playing with friends, not learning intense choreography and sleeping between busy schedules.
Whats the point of going to school when her dream is to be an idol and shes been in the industry since she was 7? The whole essay you wrote applies only to aspiring TRAINEES. Shes been on TV and as solo singer since 7 dude. She grew up in the industry. She got more experience than some 4th gen idols. Schools are only for office/9-5 day job workers. Even the most revolutionary humans, Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuck all quit school to pursue their dreams. Sorry, youre right about all that but Seowon is a special case exception.
@@iambarryallenthe fact that she has more experience than the rest does not make the situation better. In fact it’s the complete opposite, if it’s already bad for them to debut at 13 then imagine at 7!!! When I was 7 I had barely learned the multiplication tables and how to read a clock, that WAYYY too young to debut in such a harsh industry
@@albaaviles7148Its her dream not yours ik she is to young to debut but many ppl support her for her dream to be an idol even her parents support her
@aleah8577 bruh korea and US is not the same country its their choice not us so what wrong with her debuting at the age of 13 plus why would she want to ride a car on her own when they have their own security guard that can drive for them and guard them while they are going out...
She super talented but so so young I will always be against debuting idols that young Taemin debuted at 14 and is against it I’ve always been in dance and singing lessons but I can’t imagine being an idol now let alone at her age. It’s really not an industry safe for kids no matter how much people defend it.
i stg, they will debut a 8 year old and we'll still have people posting "She's such an all-kill! I can tell she's gonna be the new it girl, visuals are insane! Support our queens, road to #1! ❤☺☺" Fucking gross
I’m on surprise because 13. She really shouldn’t be debating as an idol and for people saying she was a trot singer before she was an idol so her and her parents understand you guys do understand that the demography for trot singer in Korea and Asia is very very different than the demography for idols Not dealing with the crazy obsessive fans, the immature fans, and phantoms, they’re not dealing with the overwhelming pressure to be like the absolute perfect epitome best at what they’re doing, they also do not have to deal with the intense scheduling that idles do, especially with touring and all of that jazz. That’s not even talking about how much more companies will exploit a child as idles than they would in other areas of the entertainment industry. Are we forgetting about the fact that we’ve had 14 and year-old debut in the past second General who have all come out and talked about how they wish the adults around them didn’t let them debut early. Taemin exploited and sexualized at a really young age, and it made him feel uncomfortable. Hyuna Questionable about this she goes backwards from her age talking about she was 25 to 17 to 14 and the entire song of the lyrics even if you look at the English translations because you don’t speak, Korean is her literally talking about how they exploited her how they made her things they want her to the outfits that she’s wearing was reminiscing of outfits that they legitimately had a 15-year-old her wearing. IU having talked about her eating disorder that she got after she was bullied by the general public and people because she had a great voice, but she was too fat. In their opinion they thought she was too chubby. She was fucking 15. It let her having to deal with having bulimia for years, and it took years before she opened up about it and talked about how she was still recovering from it. Boa and Hyori both sat there and were an interview literally like a year or two ago, where they both talked about they wish that there were adults around to tell them that they could wait to make their debut that they didn’t have to do it so young and as children because yes, they were popular and they were successful, but it came at a price. Even idol nowadays have talked about how it’s made it hard NCT Jisung used to always talk about how he was very socially awkward, and it made it harder for him to interact with people his own aid, and he even make friends for the longest. The only friends he had were his members because he didn’t know how to interact with people because he didn’t have time to go to school because he was when he was in middle school. He didn’t even go to high school talking about the other NCT members who never even graduated from middle school, it took them years before they even got to the point to taking test so they can graduate from middle school and high school, but even then they weren’t actually going to a physical school meeting that they didn’t get that interaction that comes from going to school that’s why children go to school not because you have to just learn the basics of like math and history and stuff but because it exposes you how to interact with humans that’s how you get human interactions that’s how people learn social cues and stuff from actually having to interact with other humans. Like these are people you can make memories with especially young teen idols have talked about not being able to do and not having time to do. That’s not even on the fact that there have been multiple child’s psychiatrist in South Korea and internationally have talked about the damage of debuting such young people in the entertainment industry and why needs to stop especially in Asia. I remember I think it was like right after right before NewJeans had debut that there were news Sites and articles on the news in South Korea. There were psychiatrist who dealt with talking about why young kids, especially under the ages of like 16 should not be debuting as idol because of things that they’re still learning how to do and deal with from emotional control to how easily Influence, they can be all these things that will lead to when they’re older, self-esteem issues, confidence issues, body issues, etc. Even professionals have been against this for years yet people still do not listen to them. I’m surprised she debuted because of this year fact that when. PSY debut 12/13 in his group. The fans were not having it not even just fans of the group fans of K-pop in general. They legitimately complained to that company and believe that man until he pulled that kid out and he didn’t debut said they said they’re gonna wait for him to be older. Not to mention the issues that South Korea has been having just in this past year alone with illegal AI images and videos of female idols, especially the young female idols. Like they’ve been articles about that everywhere cause there’s so many disgusting videos, and AI generated images of these underage girls or barely legal women skate dress, or doing acts that they would never be doing going around on the Internet about over there being shared that’s not even talking about the creepy that people still be making a female idol even the minors whether we’re talking about the weird oneslegit slow Mo dance moves all these young girls dancing so that they can get the best images like it’s really fucking creepy and y’all keep pretending like that doesn’t happen in that country.
Im ngl idols are getting so young i think they don’t even have enough years under their belt to be an idol. Wont be surprised when a 10 yr old debuts. Like i feel like they’re aren’t even capable of making the decision to be an idol under 14 or 16.
Oof....i miss the old kpop were kpop idols werent debuting this age....,i absolutely reacted like this as well...sorry but its just not right for her and the other young idols to debut....they should wait a few more years till they are 16+
These kids may be young but they make their own decisions. U cant stop a child or teenager from doing what they want. If this is their dream they will definitely keep at it no matter what their parents say. If their parents cant stop them idk what makes yall think u can stop it. If u dont like it just dont stan a group wit a minor
Also people forget that parents exploit their children all the time so I also don’t understand where people are coming from being like oh but she has consent from her parents to do this. Or saying her parents allowed her to do this so we shouldn’t be upset about it. Are we forgetting about all the celebrities that we’ve seen over the years whether we’re talking western or not Who had to become celebrities to take care of their families to help out with their parents who were in financial issues and stuff. Are we forgetting about the fact just recently and I’m not naming names because him and his brother don’t deserve that and idol and his brother both of them are debuted they’re in idol group actively promoting currently at this moment, making money comeback, and going on tour. Their mother was arrested for committing fraud, using the name of her sons and their groups. These are two male idol who talked about moving to Korea after getting scouted at young ages they thought about wanting to do singing or pursuing that career, but they weren’t serious about it because they were in like middle school and they were scouted and their parent their parental figure signed them up for said sure go ahead and then turned around after getting both of her children to become K-pop idols to then commit fraud against people for over I think Half $1 million always the best when it comes to their kids because why the hell would you sit there and have your kids pursue that and then turn around to use them in their fame to trick people out of a shit ton of money as if you’re not receiving money. Adults their parents sometimes are the greedy motherfuckers around these children. They would rather use their own kids to make money then to go out and make it themselves.
The age is not a big deal. There are already many kpop debuted very young and haters over react with the age But they support the minions with the same faces and same voices while watching Game of Thrones. Kpop now a days are for young teenages, accept that. This Content is fishy and Revealing Hypocrisy
Fr. Idols only have a few years of their prime ages til they get to “old age”. Let the kids live their dream lives. Im sure any of us normal people would do everything to live our dream job
You are a kpop fan, you already know the danger and those disadvantages for kids debuting in the industry. Even those very famous idols from the older gen who debut around same age as seowon like Taemin which he said he regret debuting at a young age. I don't mean that you we will not support these kids considering they're very talented compared to other idols who only have the visuals but its just not their time yet to be in there and its also not their fault but the entertainment industry. Also, the industry isnt really helpful with their mental growth, so as fans we also just have to be less toxic.
Obviously I’m not hating on anyone at all or pointing this to any specific person or group but I think companies should only debut people older than 16-17 which is still young but the fact that there are idols that aren’t even teens is a bit well concerning(just my opinion no hate)❤
please we're the same age wtf is she doing in that toxic industry. I'm afraid her life will get ruined at such a young age :( but I'm wishing her the best of luck!
Wtf! 13 years old! For sure her life is destroyed & living like a bird in a cage. Idols can't socialize with other people. They are like puppets of the companies.😢
Puppets? I don't think so. Their group actually received a princess treatment from their company. Basically Unis are spoiled by their company. F&F entertainment literally spent a huge amount of money for them. The CEO even bought a whole store just for them. I don't know the exact price but their clothes are super expensive.
Ermm....... her life was living like a bird in a cage if only they forced her to be an idol , she wanted to be an idol so that why she took a part in survival show and now she is happy , you were also right if she was forced

She's also *just* barely 13, she literally just graduated ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. She looks like a child, because she *is* a child. Yes, she is talented. Yes, she wants to do this. But if a child wants to drive a car, do we let them? No, because it isn't safe. Just like what is needed for industries in other countries like the US for better protection for kids in areas such as acting and children groups (there have been several cases in the US where there have been children's groups or youtube channels how even with parental supervision and a strong desire from the children, abuse *still* happened) to simply prevent these children from getting jobs, period.
Having worked a job at a young age, at age 13 before you're supposed to, it really is damaging. Even if it is something simple, it is too much stress for a young child, even if it *is* their dream or desire. Seriously, the reaction is valid. IMO, nobody should be debuting until they're *at least* 16, the same age where they can have a job, simply because of developmental maturity. And on top of that, companies need to be held accountable to keep safe places for these artists, and especially their trainees since inevitably they'll also be younger. There should also, overall, and quite unachievable unfortunately, just be better monitoring on the internet to eliminate or minimize hate and perverts, just in general for protection of like, literally everyone, but especially minors.
That's all. She's literally a child. Super talented, but rn she should be focusing on going to school and playing with friends, not learning intense choreography and sleeping between busy schedules.
Whats the point of going to school when her dream is to be an idol and shes been in the industry since she was 7? The whole essay you wrote applies only to aspiring TRAINEES. Shes been on TV and as solo singer since 7 dude. She grew up in the industry. She got more experience than some 4th gen idols. Schools are only for office/9-5 day job workers. Even the most revolutionary humans, Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuck all quit school to pursue their dreams. Sorry, youre right about all that but Seowon is a special case exception.
@@iambarryallenthe fact that she has more experience than the rest does not make the situation better. In fact it’s the complete opposite, if it’s already bad for them to debut at 13 then imagine at 7!!! When I was 7 I had barely learned the multiplication tables and how to read a clock, that WAYYY too young to debut in such a harsh industry
@@albaaviles7148Its her dream not yours ik she is to young to debut but many ppl support her for her dream to be an idol even her parents support her
@aleah8577 bruh korea and US is not the same country its their choice not us so what wrong with her debuting at the age of 13 plus why would she want to ride a car on her own when they have their own security guard that can drive for them and guard them while they are going out...
Kpop make me feel old 😭
She super talented but so so young I will always be against debuting idols that young
Taemin debuted at 14 and is against it
I’ve always been in dance and singing lessons but I can’t imagine being an idol now let alone at her age. It’s really not an industry safe for kids no matter how much people defend it.
Your stance against idols debuting at 13 is as small as an atom.

She's 2 months older than me
i stg, they will debut a 8 year old and we'll still have people posting "She's such an all-kill! I can tell she's gonna be the new it girl, visuals are insane! Support our queens, road to #1! ❤☺☺"
Fucking gross
I’m on surprise because 13. She really shouldn’t be debating as an idol and for people saying she was a trot singer before she was an idol so her and her parents understand you guys do understand that the demography for trot singer in Korea and Asia is very very different than the demography for idols
Not dealing with the crazy obsessive fans, the immature fans, and phantoms, they’re not dealing with the overwhelming pressure to be like the absolute perfect epitome best at what they’re doing, they also do not have to deal with the intense scheduling that idles do, especially with touring and all of that jazz. That’s not even talking about how much more companies will exploit a child as idles than they would in other areas of the entertainment industry.
Are we forgetting about the fact that we’ve had 14 and year-old debut in the past second General who have all come out and talked about how they wish the adults around them didn’t let them debut early. Taemin exploited and sexualized at a really young age, and it made him feel uncomfortable. Hyuna Questionable about this she goes backwards from her age talking about she was 25 to 17 to 14 and the entire song of the lyrics even if you look at the English translations because you don’t speak, Korean is her literally talking about how they exploited her how they made her things they want her to the outfits that she’s wearing was reminiscing of outfits that they legitimately had a 15-year-old her wearing. IU having talked about her eating disorder that she got after she was bullied by the general public and people because she had a great voice, but she was too fat. In their opinion they thought she was too chubby. She was fucking 15. It let her having to deal with having bulimia for years, and it took years before she opened up about it and talked about how she was still recovering from it. Boa and Hyori both sat there and were an interview literally like a year or two ago, where they both talked about they wish that there were adults around to tell them that they could wait to make their debut that they didn’t have to do it so young and as children because yes, they were popular and they were successful, but it came at a price.
Even idol nowadays have talked about how it’s made it hard NCT Jisung used to always talk about how he was very socially awkward, and it made it harder for him to interact with people his own aid, and he even make friends for the longest. The only friends he had were his members because he didn’t know how to interact with people because he didn’t have time to go to school because he was when he was in middle school. He didn’t even go to high school talking about the other NCT members who never even graduated from middle school, it took them years before they even got to the point to taking test so they can graduate from middle school and high school, but even then they weren’t actually going to a physical school meeting that they didn’t get that interaction that comes from going to school that’s why children go to school not because you have to just learn the basics of like math and history and stuff but because it exposes you how to interact with humans that’s how you get human interactions that’s how people learn social cues and stuff from actually having to interact with other humans. Like these are people you can make memories with especially young teen idols have talked about not being able to do and not having time to do.
That’s not even on the fact that there have been multiple child’s psychiatrist in South Korea and internationally have talked about the damage of debuting such young people in the entertainment industry and why needs to stop especially in Asia. I remember I think it was like right after right before NewJeans had debut that there were news Sites and articles on the news in South Korea. There were psychiatrist who dealt with talking about why young kids, especially under the ages of like 16 should not be debuting as idol because of things that they’re still learning how to do and deal with from emotional control to how easily Influence, they can be all these things that will lead to when they’re older, self-esteem issues, confidence issues, body issues, etc.
Even professionals have been against this for years yet people still do not listen to them. I’m surprised she debuted because of this year fact that when. PSY debut 12/13 in his group. The fans were not having it not even just fans of the group fans of K-pop in general. They legitimately complained to that company and believe that man until he pulled that kid out and he didn’t debut said they said they’re gonna wait for him to be older.
Not to mention the issues that South Korea has been having just in this past year alone with illegal AI images and videos of female idols, especially the young female idols. Like they’ve been articles about that everywhere cause there’s so many disgusting videos, and AI generated images of these underage girls or barely legal women skate dress, or doing acts that they would never be doing going around on the Internet about over there being shared that’s not even talking about the creepy that people still be making a female idol even the minors whether we’re talking about the weird oneslegit slow Mo dance moves all these young girls dancing so that they can get the best images like it’s really fucking creepy and y’all keep pretending like that doesn’t happen in that country.

Graduating from elementary school?!?! thats so craxyyyy.
Im ngl idols are getting so young i think they don’t even have enough years under their belt to be an idol. Wont be surprised when a 10 yr old debuts. Like i feel like they’re aren’t even capable of making the decision to be an idol under 14 or 16.
Oof....i miss the old kpop were kpop idols werent debuting this age....,i absolutely reacted like this as well...sorry but its just not right for her and the other young idols to debut....they should wait a few more years till they are 16+
im 13 too my secondary school just started a month ago and shes already an idol 😭😭
She is just 9 months older than me the same year 20211 😮😮😮
These kids may be young but they make their own decisions. U cant stop a child or teenager from doing what they want. If this is their dream they will definitely keep at it no matter what their parents say. If their parents cant stop them idk what makes yall think u can stop it. If u dont like it just dont stan a group wit a minor
I wouldnt be suprised (im older than her and im 13 😭)
I know some people won't believe me but I was also born in 2011 and she is just 4 days older than me
the fact that she only just finished elementary school is wild...
12yo idols should be normalized to make most of their teen years as idol.
"graduated from elementary school" 😭
I was born in 2012 im one year younger than her
She's a year younger than me😮
Also people forget that parents exploit their children all the time so I also don’t understand where people are coming from being like oh but she has consent from her parents to do this. Or saying her parents allowed her to do this so we shouldn’t be upset about it. Are we forgetting about all the celebrities that we’ve seen over the years whether we’re talking western or not Who had to become celebrities to take care of their families to help out with their parents who were in financial issues and stuff. Are we forgetting about the fact just recently and I’m not naming names because him and his brother don’t deserve that and idol and his brother both of them are debuted they’re in idol group actively promoting currently at this moment, making money comeback, and going on tour.
Their mother was arrested for committing fraud, using the name of her sons and their groups. These are two male idol who talked about moving to Korea after getting scouted at young ages they thought about wanting to do singing or pursuing that career, but they weren’t serious about it because they were in like middle school and they were scouted and their parent their parental figure signed them up for said sure go ahead and then turned around after getting both of her children to become K-pop idols to then commit fraud against people for over I think Half $1 million always the best when it comes to their kids because why the hell would you sit there and have your kids pursue that and then turn around to use them in their fame to trick people out of a shit ton of money as if you’re not receiving money.
Adults their parents sometimes are the greedy motherfuckers around these children. They would rather use their own kids to make money then to go out and make it themselves.
Superwoman
More like superkid.
im feeling old now....
Im older than her and doing nothing while miss girl is a freaking K-pop idol what the-
there are idols younger than me now?😭
This would be shock but i am younger than her…..
The age is not a big deal. There are already many kpop debuted very young and haters over react with the age But they support the minions with the same faces and same voices while watching Game of Thrones. Kpop now a days are for young teenages, accept that. This Content is fishy and Revealing Hypocrisy
Seowon's vocal alone can eat those minions who can't even belt
Fr. Idols only have a few years of their prime ages til they get to “old age”. Let the kids live their dream lives. Im sure any of us normal people would do everything to live our dream job
You are a kpop fan, you already know the danger and those disadvantages for kids debuting in the industry. Even those very famous idols from the older gen who debut around same age as seowon like Taemin which he said he regret debuting at a young age. I don't mean that you we will not support these kids considering they're very talented compared to other idols who only have the visuals but its just not their time yet to be in there and its also not their fault but the entertainment industry. Also, the industry isnt really helpful with their mental growth, so as fans we also just have to be less toxic.
Gurl im the same age as her but older
I'm frikin 13...
Obviously I’m not hating on anyone at all or pointing this to any specific person or group but I think companies should only debut people older than 16-17 which is still young but the fact that there are idols that aren’t even teens is a bit well concerning(just my opinion no hate)❤
please we're the same age wtf is she doing in that toxic industry. I'm afraid her life will get ruined at such a young age :( but I'm wishing her the best of luck!
Where can I watch this full interview?
Look if there is no parental concern she will not be there ok ....... Thats there desiscion not you😋
Who are you talking to..?
@@phiz8092 to a ghost 🙄
But this isn’t good either…. They r debuting minors 😢
Wtf! 13 years old! For sure her life is destroyed & living like a bird in a cage. Idols can't socialize with other people. They are like puppets of the companies.😢
Puppets? I don't think so. Their group actually received a princess treatment from their company. Basically Unis are spoiled by their company. F&F entertainment literally spent a huge amount of money for them. The CEO even bought a whole store just for them. I don't know the exact price but their clothes are super expensive.
Ermm....... her life was living like a bird in a cage if only they forced her to be an idol , she wanted to be an idol so that why she took a part in survival show and now she is happy , you were also right if she was forced
She's one of the member with the most experience in the industry after their leader. She used to be a soloist trot singer.
@@SOO-bj8fd experience in being a performer but not yet about being an idol. She performs and does tv guestings and competitions when she was way younger. The world of a kpop idol is another thing.
Lmao. You dont even know how their company treats them.. . They are very spoiled..
Is this guy an alien in Korea ?? Why he doesnt know the idols that started very young like Wonyoung, BOA or even his co-Hybe label mate, the maknae in New Jeans. Rxn smells fishy!
Huh?? It’s incredibly shocking for anyone hearing an idol was born in 2011. It’s crazy and wrong.
@@phiz8092 are you Korean ? if not you & I cant change their laws & culture.
Everyone is having this same reaction no matter how often it happens in kpop
Put some respect on Yeonjun's name!!! Calling him guy alien, just bcs he was shocked. Mind you he's aware about those idol debuted in young age, but ofc he will still shocked bcs the girl is only 12 yrs old. Which is it's too young.
You're an ailen
