I wonder how they roped her in tbh because it's been obvious sm's training system has been losing its edge
so many of their top trainers left to do their own thing, like I don't think any of the main exo or rv trainers were even in the company by the time winrina joined
and they lost the lady who went to hybe.
but you are right look at all the old sm trainees making impact from Tsuki to Chaeyeon
Aespa is hard to judge skill wise, because of the music style.
I do not think its the trainers, its the confusion at the top ie management failure to use the talent they had.
And this delay helped push wealthy, connected, and skilled girls away from sm. Like all the top IZ*ONE girls.
I think the concept for srxxgg changed a zillion times(heck just on member count) and they kept having girls in system who were, either not perfect for that concept or just not flexible enough.
I always say skill begats flexibility. And the company has to have a discernable vision.
Maybe BoA and Kangta take the hit for this.
