What do you think is the real reason SM didn’t let Lami and SM rookies girls debut?
They introduced the SM Rookies a long time ago. Almost all the boys except one debuted in NCT. People expect Lami to be the next it girl like Yoona and the group to be SNSD’s successor. Yet at some point, the girls left one by one and the only Rookies girl remaining is Ningning. The situation is a reverse from SM Rookies boys. What went wrong? Why did SM introduce them early just to let them go eventually?
