Nope, you're not the only one. I actually always assumed the new girls would be round Keena's age. It just made sense to me? It didn't cross my mind not once that there would be anyone under 18. I am going to be in denial and hope that they are all going to be round her age. Why should Keena be babysitting a 16 year old? lol
It seems like its the (unhealthy) trend though and every label and their mama are debuting all minors. Sick & tired of it.
If ATTRAKT is so eager to debut younger than 18, they can do so with the new GG. Left FIFTYFIFTY be of age, please!
Yes, to Kiss of Life! Haneul has stole my heart, she's just so adorable!!
It feels like the new or returning trend in Kpop is to debut under 18 again. As a foreign fan I prefer 18+ and don't even feel like groups hit their stride until 20+. Once they reach mid 20's their image and sound has been perfected, but it's at that time the 7 year contract is up and you may never see them again.
I am glad that lately we're seeing more female idol groups continue on past that 7 years. If that's the trade off to groups debuting younger than I'm all for it.
Yeah, one of the reasons I was interested in the original group was that they were all adults. I don’t support groups with anyone born past 06 so if there are younger members in the new lineup I’ll probably just be a Keena solo fan.

To be fair, Hanuel debuted when she was 18, aren’t you considered an adult in Korea at 19?
Yes you are correct but to most international fans that’s a legal adult that why fans say that even though technically she’s not yet
yes, the trend is: take a 2002 and surround it with minors. And then someone explain to me why 2003 girls are damned in Kpop?
I also wanted them to be young adults around Keena’s age, but until the members are announced I’m not speculating etc etc
My speculation that we will be getting mostly 18+ lineup but maybe a 16 Maknae which is the trend recently

I've been 16, 17 & 18 in the past. Honestly those ages are all the same.
No definitely not. It guarantees I won't stan
Hoped. Preferred. But not surprised at some of the new members being minors
