Honestly I always dislike when ppl say this or that idol used to be a trainee in SM and ALMOST debuted or was supposed to debut with x group.
that isn't how it works.

SM has a LOT of trainees.
Over 100 at any time.

Woojin was only at SM for a year. While some do debut that fast in SM, that is very damn rare.

SNSD's Taeyeon also once mentioned how disrespectful it is for ppl to talk about how this or that idol would've debuted in SNSD if ONLY they stayed an SM trainee. That isn't how stuff works.

JUST being a trainee in SM doesn't mean he was gonna debut. If anything the fact he left means he WASN'T gonna debut any time soon. Not to mention we don't even know if it was he himself who wanted to leave the company or if he was asked to leave.

We DO NOT know if Woojin was gonna debut in NCT and the chances are, he wasn't. All we know is that he trained at SM for a year at the same time as NCT members. That is it.

I was thinking the same about ex trainees,just because they trained there doesn't mean they are certain to debut in that group, I feel most of the outcomes in groups would be the same whether this trainee left or not. Also I heard that the reason some trainees left is not because they want to but because of the fact they didn't pass the evaluations,like the one they do in produce. I suppose companies just want to keep the ones that has most potential with consistency.

I imagine SM has very big trainee turnover.

Trainees who get accepted, only for it to turn out they aren't suited for that life.
Trainees who end up not being as good as how it looked at the auditions
Trainees who end up not progressing and improving well enough.
Trainees who just.... aren't right for the company.

It is probably like that at any big company tbh. They aren't gonna keep around a trainee they have NO intention to debut. if you are still in the company, it means SM can still see you debuting in a group.

If it triggers you then don't click???
I've read a lot that he was going to debut with NCT and I've also read that he just worked alongside them.
Anyway, chill my guy, no need to explode

I had no idea what this thread was gonna say before I clicked it.

I also have every right to reply to this thread if I disagree with what it says. That doesn't mean I'm exploding or anything like that, I am expressing my opinion on the matter. I haven't been rude, I haven't insulted anybody involved, I have only expressed my dislike to ppl saying things like that and explained why.

Yeah maybe I made the thread more serious than you intended, but that doesn't mean you should essentially tell me to shut up. You make a thread, but you don't decide who or how replies to it. That is considered quite rude, especially as I have not insulted anyone.

I know yeah you have most likely read threads and articles about that, so have I and just bcs something has been written, doesn't mean I should agree with what is being said in it. The articles might SAY that he was going to debut with NCT, but they have no proof of the matter beyond the fact he trained at SM for a bit.
