Are they debuting younger idols or idols getting to look younger?

  • I mean girlgroups i dont see much of an difference

    but boygroups ?

    like look at how 2nd gen bgs look at debut they be looking like 5 years old group right now

    At debut Tvxq, Bigbang and Shinee were all still teenagers. The oldest tvxq member turned 17 the same year they debuted. That’s the same age as Nct Dream and younger than Newjeans


    I’d argue that the age span idols debut have gotten narrower. There aren’t as many extremely young idols debuting (tho they still exist) but there’s also less idols debuting in their late/mid twenties.

    yeah but they looked older than today's 17 years when they were are at 17 years old thats what I am asking if idols are looking younger nowadays

    Don’t think they do. Like have you watched Replay. Shinee looked like babies


    Xdinary Heroes and Tempest are the two biggest rookie groups this year and neither look particularly young. But aggressive boy group concepts haven’t really been popular for a couple of years. The soft pastel colours might make them look younger I suppose

    If SHINee debuted today they would they would be 03 - 07 liners

    for reference Tempest 98 - 02 liners

    XDinary Heroes - 98 - 02 liners

    even the oldest of SHINee would be younger than youngest of these groups so its obvious SHINee look like babies.

    For aggressive concept the one I posted BAP would be 00 - 06 liners if debuted today

    for reference TNX debuted this year with aggressive concept they are 02 - 05 liners but they look like straight outta kindergarden next to bap, on average Nuest would even be younger than TNX if debuted today but looking at their debut they look older. I don't know if its edgy styling that was in 2nd gen made these idols look older or its because we have no more masculine boygroups

  • Not familiar with Tnx but just looking at pictures they look older than Nuest. Nuest were very young at debut and they look it. Minhyun, Ren and Jonghyun looked their age, Ren lowkey looked younger than he was. Baekho obviously looked older but he’s always been a bit of an outlier


    edit: and Bap didn’t reall look older than their age at debut either. They look like they’re in their late teens to me

    This is Nuest

    This is TNX


    like idk how u see TNX as older. For me its obviously Nuest looking older esp Baekho, JR and Aron

    and its even more evident if u watch the mv, Nuest mannerism is clearly more mature

  • They’re more charismatic but don’t think they look older. Especially Ren and Minhyun but also JR are clearly very young, even in the mv

  • just an example this is BAP debut

    how old they were at debut

    in this gen they would look like groups who had been 5 years, not rookie lmao

    I have no clue what your talking about since this video is blocked where I am

  • Maybe for the BG’s. GG’s actually don’t age that fast. Look at Lisa and Jennie, without make up they often could pass as high schoolers, whereas the boys start to look more masculine from 20 up going.


    I think they debut them that young so they can have them signed longer, as many start to have a shift in their interests when they are in their late 20s. It was kinda an immediate response to the ban of the slave contracts.

  • It just says in my language "This video contains content of Belive Music. The partner has blocked the video in your country due to copyright" 😬

    wow I have just made research and this mv has been blocked in several Europe countries since its release :wow: idk why

    also if u are interested in it this might work, the on on 1thek channel

    but bgs are not more masculine anymore compared to 2nd gen so they now look younger to me
