The standards between males and females.
I'm sure we have all witnessed the true extent of the wide gap between the norms that apply to males and females in the k-pop industry. But something that I itch to talk about is the issue of minors debuting.
So often have I seen several kpop fans bring this up..in the case of a female minor but when it comes to a minors that are boys, I hear relatively low complaints. Example of this is ENHYPEN's Ni-Ki (debuted at 14), Stray Kids' I.N (debuted at 16), NCT-127's Haechan (debuted at 16), NCT-DREAMS' Jisung, BTS' Jungkook (debuted at 15), BIGBANG's Seungri (debuted at 16), TREASURE's Junghwan and Jongwoo (both debuted at 15), Doyoung and Haruto (both debuted at 16), and the list goes on.
I'm not trying to say that the female minors that debut shouldn't be given any attention but please let us start protecting all minors regardless of gender.
