Yeahhhh being successful ≠ no problems.
Hell, not saying we should assume anything, but looking fine on camera doesn't mean they are fine irl either... It's just not a good indicator.
Exactly this, entertainment industry, especially for women, and even worse for young girls, is hell. They see and hear things that no one should.
This is point that some people here are missing.
Display MoreBut I don't think it's an across the board sort of thing.
Some idols seem ready earlier.
BoA debuted solo at 14 I believe and became a legend.
As long as parents are supportive, I am not opposed to younger idols debuting.
I think it should be left up to their guardians and companies, ultimately.
And I'm not in favor or restrictive caps making idols wait if they feel ready.
It's their lives.
That said, if a cap is necessary, I think 16 is a good age personally as a minimum target.
It's the age when high school kids are commonly in competitive dance and cheerleading and the like. They're growing into adults.
And I think should be allowed to pursue their careers and dreams.
it’s not about success but rather what a child can experience in this industry which is far from nice
easy target for hate and constant criticism , sexualization , kpop idol is a full time job meaning a very heavy schedule that a child shouldn’t have to endure , i don’t know one company that doesn’t tell their idols to diet n sometimes even get surgery at young age ,,,
it’s not all pink and dreamy it’s a harsh industry n so many idols have spoken about it and how harshly they were treated
in short , this is not a good industry for young girls and debuting at an older age is better . have young idols turned out successful ? of course there are
were they all mentally fine ? did they not suffer from it ? many did and complained about it .
