Was Shinee's debut problematic too if New Jeans' is?

I mean they was singing about noona is so pretty when Taemin was like 14? but that debut song is called legendary debut by sm stans now

I don't think the lyrics about young boy singing about Noonas problematic honestly lol, the school having a crush on his teachers is cute but nobody take these seriously.

My only problem with newjeans mv is when one of the girls wear a super tiny black top when she is the youngest. I know young people wear crop top but this one is too short In my opinion.

they weren't threatening other bg's success at the time so no they don't care

newjens and mhej were fine until those ktown numbers came out and then kpop twt pulled that uno reverse card

It's not NJ's debut that people mainly have an issue with, either.

Nobody's threatened by Newjeans rofl, like come onnnnn sis.

The world is a different place than it was 14 years ago and problematic things get called out in a way they didn’t in 2008. They were still problematic.
