Go off below with a Kpop opinion
(Obviously be respectful)
but I'll respond with whether I agree or not and may even give my own controversial opinion as well.

WE SHALL SEE

I'll drop one of mine-I hate the whole no positions thing within Kpop. Feels like it's an excuse to not give credit where credit is due for certain members of the group who have honed in on their specific craft and it is more of a thing to appease fans who constantly complain about line distributions being unfair because now they can't go like "Well Miyeon is the main vocalist she should be getting more than 10 seconds in a song" now they'll just complain about any member not getting lines without it having any relation to their position.

caring about line distributions is pointless

Only because it won't change anything. Companies don't give a fuck.

yea and some that some people are mad about is the fact that a main dancer won't get that many lines in the song, but my opinion on that is that if they have a strong dance and it gives them a time to show their dance skills more, it's fine by me if they have short lines :/

All fandoms have sucky people but that doesn’t mean there aren’t fandoms that embarrass themselves more than others because there’s more people to hype up the embarrassing radical ones in the bigger fandoms

The main vocalist and main dancer getting the same number of lines plus the main dancer getting center and dance break? Totally fine. Main vocalist getting more lines while dancer gets fewer lines but both center and dance break? Blasphemy!

If you want to prevent underaged idols from debuting, actually do something about it. If a child online tells you they want to become a K-Pop idol, tell them to wait until they're at least 18 and explain why. When groups with underaged idols debut, don't buy their albums or stream their songs. Companies will assume you're okay and complacent with that, even if you say otherwise on social media. If you feel as if you must support the group despite that, wait until all the members are over 18 to do so. Support groups that didn't debut with any minors, or anyone you consider to have been too young at the time of debut. There's several of them if you actually go out of your way to look. Kiss Of Life and ILY:1 come to mind right away for me, and there's got to be more than that. Besides, these groups are usually (but not always) nugu groups, who could use the support anyway.

Yes, you can say what you want, and at least most people are aware of it and acknowledge it's a problem, however, if you want to actually do something about it, take action and don't let your words be just words. Yes, I'm sure doing that is hard, but if it has the desired effect one day, won't it be worth it? It's a small sacrifice to make for the greater good.

I was being sarcastic, but I was pointing out that for some reason people think line distribution has to be exactly equal or it’s the end of the world but when it comes to dance they expect the main dancer to get center and dance break while the main vocal often gets no memorable dance moments by comparison. So even though both most lines and center/dance breaks highlight a member more, lines for some reason aren’t supposed to be based on tone and skill but dance is expected to be based on skill. It’s stupid

I agree. Personally though, I will continue to enjoy music regardless of who the artist is so despite me thinking that it isn't healthy for idols to be underage and I worry more for their mental health I will continue to listen to their music. I'm aware it makes me a hypocrite.

Disagree. But that one song by Le Sserafim I believe is annoying too-the one that ha slike 4 words in it and a stupid long title.

The bluebeard wife one? yeah i find it lowkey annoying too bc it was a random ass trend when the song they shouldve promoted more was the title track unforgiven, not a b side imo, the dance is fun but idk 🤷

You know after reading this through again I'm wondering if it has more cultural relevance in all honesty. Where I live if a young kid tries to make music it's usually not taken seriously and kind of seen is a silly little joke. The child isn't viewed as being a legitimate artist unless and until they group and start releasing more serious music.

But within Kpop, right off the bat this is seen as something more serious even when a group has younger members the music is typically something you can take seriously as a whole. As a result, the public doesn't seem to care and views it as legitimately good and creative music rather than what would happen where I live...it's honestly kind of interesting. I mean I don't think Koreans are the ones upset by idols ages UNLESS they think they were given inappropriate clothing or a "mature" concept which even in that sense there is a HUGE double standard as to what is acceptable in Kpop and what is not.

For example, a photo shoot for makeup is seen as inappropriate for a younger idol but singing a song like "Cookie" is somehow ok? It's a very confusing dynamic and maybe I'm just thinking of it from a biased lense (as in this may be something that is a big issue in Korea and Korean citizens are upset by it but I'm getting basic news from Kpop gossip sites) but point is I think younger kids are taken seriously within Kpop because they are given serious training, serious music, and ACTUAL fans whereas I think it's different where I live.
