New gg Lapillus reveal members: Shana and Haeun (born 2008)

2008? That's a literal child, wtf?

2008 is way too young

I can't even imagine how hard it's going to be for them

They're literal kids

Dang, I didn't even see their ages at first. All I saw was the pretty teasers and I thought: "These would make great badges. Badges, people, badges!" That is pretty young though, and I take issue with the company for doing this, but just keep in mind to not let it affect how we judge the girls, because they didn't do anything wrong, the company did. After all, the company decides when people debut, not the children in question.

Shana my baby 2008 tho..so young for such a cruel industry

Some people have cats and shoes older than them! I concur, this is a bit extreme!

Well 2003 is now 19 so that wouldn't really matter but 2008 is waay too young...

They're debuting middle schoolers and freshmen

At least 19 is adult

I get debut a 13 year old is the result of market survey, data off of twitter

Target market could be the Philippines to start off which owns the 3rd highest number of Kpop fans on earth, SK ranked No4.

She is set to take up elementary school kids.

I think it makes sense, many users in AKP are not much older than her at this point.

Philippines has 3rd highest number of K-pop fans in the world – Twitter

The country counts even more K-pop fans than South Korea

2008 That's two years younger than me!!? SHE'S 13???????????

I was born in Feb 2008 and I am 14 rn, so she could be 13 or 14. But damn, imagine if they are younger than me, akp's former maknae lol.

So far there's only 1 idol that's younger than me(one of Classy's members, another one of classys members is literally a day older than me lol).

That girl is 13(not 14 yet it seems? dates without the format i'm used to are confusing) and already in MLD's hands/slave contracts.

Poor kid, thats all I have to say.

Quote from BunnyLipChickpoo

Do you mean Idols or AKP members older than you? Because I think a whole lot of Idols are older than you

Yeah, imagine working at 13

I don't want to work as adult

Quote from bartkun

For Koreans she is 15

No, they abolished that age system

I like 2nd girl's dress

I do 2

so is a matter of time until a 2010 yo debut at the rate they are going, 5 months ago Leeseo was the youngest idol and she's born in feb 2007, 5 months later Classy has like 3 members younger than her and 2 2008 liners and this girl here is born in november 2008, almost 2 years younger than Leeseo

Companies should chill out, 15 yo are fine but they are pushing the limit with the 13 yo.

by law

but it will take years for Koreans to adjust to it

in essence, a generation or two

I doubt, in all their official documents they used normal age system plus they are 2 years younger.

Quote from BunnyLipChickpoo

If they aren't going to e sexualized and forced to do ageyo it will be fine, although I have my doubts just look at Le Sserafim

Forced to do aegyo...wut? They're probably the only group young enough to do aegyo without Kpoppies complaining that they're too old for it.

Quote from bartkun

For Koreans she is 15

How does it matter? She's 13 biologically.

When their 7 year contract ends they will be either 20 or 21

Quote from bartkun

what's a problem here tho?

IVE Leeseo is 1 year older and debuted in 2021, which means she debuted as same age as Haeun is now

BoA was 13 years 9 months old

Wonyoung was 14 years 2 months old

there are also many more female Idols which debuted where they were 14 years old: Jiyoung, Sohee, HyunA, Jiheon, Sohyun, Krystal

I think it's us who get older and we look at it with different angle/perspective, yet whole industry is the same in that aspect

Quote from bartkun

Sohee, HyunA

If we're talking about Wonder Girls, don't forget that Sunmi was also 14 at debut.

not stanning they´re as old as me.

So children a decade younger than me are debuting.

I'm old.

Someone younger than me is debuting

Does that make me old now

This thread made me realize that akp is filled with kids and im too old 😐

The girl born in 2008 is too young she's not even 14 and there's 7 months lefts for he to turn 14 and that's almost a year damn the company probably thinks the younger they debut them they less likely they'll have a shameful past .

Also is it me or does she kind of look Woonyeong

Wow! They were born the same year my daughter was starting school. Just babies really.

2008 wtf
