Minzy used to be an anomaly, a disturbance in the force, an exception.......

Nowadays, every single gg debuts with a couple of 14-yr olds

Far out! I might have to retire soon...... I feel like a weird ass gal cheering for teens at time! No wonder I'm stuck in the 3rd gen realm!

Companies always debuted minors tho'?

 

[uran]

And thats why i dont stan any new groups. Its so weird when im not either same age or younger than them because the way kpop groups have always promoed is to make fans have obsession over the idol and i wont have that with a teen

well, training them, yes. However, debuting them on the verge of 18, historically
but nowadays its like, BAAM! 14-yr olds, lets gooooo!!

Not really? I can think about more groups that had at least one member younger than 16 than not

Don't even have to look at groups since just look at BoA as she debuted in August of 2000 but was born in November of 1986 so she would've been 13 at debut internationally and she was totally on her own.

Then I shouldn't listen to K-Pop at all. Or where are all those 40+ years idols?

K-Pop is a music genre that celebrates the youth cult. I guess the K-Pop industry didn't plan that even mummies like me listen to their groups. Having said that, I wouldn't stan minor idols. It would feel wrong to me.

I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t have a mile long stan list anymore. I more or less just listen and if I like it, great. If not, I pretend it doesn’t exist. I’m older than most 5th gen idols (although there are a few exceptions like some BadVillian members or some Kandis members)

I'm afraid you may have to stick with Dara, oppa

oh shooottt, I better be careful! She might sue my ass! lmaooo

I feel like it may be a bit more common now, but not as much as it seems. Can we think of more groups now that debut minors than groups debuting with minors in 2008-2013 let’s say? Yeah. But I think it’s very safe to say that we can think of way more groups debuting now in general than groups that debuted in that time period too because now we only really remember the most famous groups from then, unlike now. And even as is it’s really easy to name people who debuted as minors in the past, including 13 and 14 year olds. So while I think the percentages of groups that debut with minors may be a bit higher now, I don’t think it’s really quite as big of a difference as it initially seems.

trends, I guess. However, we, are not getting any younger! That's the puzzling part! lmaoo

Nope, since I saw her beautiful eyes in 'Come Back Home' the first time, my 2NE1 bias is CL.

I'm pretty fine with the age gap of my biases. My oldest biases are Sera (37), CL (34), Sunmi, and Moonbyul (32). My youngest biases are Aisha and Karina (24). JiU and SuA are 30. AleXa and Hyunjung are 28.

As you can see, there's no need to call the FBI.

you didn't have to validate yourself like that you know I believed you at first sight! lmaooo
my youngest bias is my dad's 3 year old boxer dog! I'm just plain terrible! I might need to book an interview with Minzy ASAP!
