Minors shouldn't debut

problem is, minors dont understand this stuff when they debut

teenagers are almost blindly ambitious and dont know how the world works

the regret hits in their late 20s

i agree, as i said, i always feel like idols shld at least complete high school before they debut, jic the group doesn't do well, they can still go pursue a degree (idk if its possible to go back to high school??)

I'm pretty sure most of them surf the internet and see the hurtful and weird shit people say about them

yeah but they dont realize it till they actually debut

when idols become idols they live in a world of fantasy

you see so many idol groups gradually lose interest in a few years

idk at least it's probably better for idols who debut now that are minors, i think a lot of them come from rich families to they at least have that kind of support. some idols from 2nd gen groups didn't have that and only became idols to support themselves and their families

i agree though, i don't think underage idols should debut at all. i think it's gross that once an idol hits like 22 or 23 all of a sudden they're elderly and should expect to retire soon. people acting like irene is an old lady just because she's 28 or 29 is absolutely insane to me

It's their life let them choose what they want. Yes we know it's the company's call but I'm sure they want it too

You do have a point but if Taemin, Seohyun, Wonyoung, Krystal, Jisung, Sohee, Hyuna did it, I'm sure other

minors can manage

not even late teens, nct dream members who just hit adult already talk about their regrets. on this episode of odg, haechan (who was 19 internationally) was talking about the sacrifices of following your dreams from a young age

yeah but whats your solution to this?

a realistic one?

"Shouldnt debut"

they want to debut and companies want them to debut

because it makes them money

because most fans of kpop fans are minors themselves and find them relatable

how are you gonna change the industry

as long as its legal, rich people will do anything to get richer

Ehh sports, music… it’s nothing new for teens. Fame can be harmful but I think teens are capable of wanting and making their choice to do these things as well.

yes, I wish kpop companies debut idols who are past 18 or 21 and do more mature deep concepts,

Hyuna had to do a very weird solo dance when she was in Wonder Girls and 13

Wonyoung danced to Ariana Grande's ''Side to Side'' on Produce 48 at age 14*?* (Which is about getting

Jisung always gets sexualized

Krystal was portrayed as sexy in f(x) and people always commented on her body

Does this seem normal to you?

No other minors should have to go through that

I am agreeing with your original point but all I'm saying they know what they're doing

The only problem with this, is where does this logic end? Because child actors often deal with the same trauma, but I mean, we need children in TV shows and Movies to be realistic. Should young muscians not be picked up in America?

In theory, yes i think stardom and limitless money at an early age can cause huge mental problems at times, but not everyone goes through that. And like my above argument, its just not practical.

i wasn't saying that debuting minors was wrong, i was responding to your post about them regretting it in their late 20s, all im saying that even young adults are aware of what they had to sacrifice.

fair enough i was talking more to the OP
