The kpop idols keep popping up younger than ever!
In the ever-evolving K-pop scene, young idols like Hyein from NewJeans, Ni-ki from ENHYPEN, and Chiquita from BABYMONSTER are making waves, debuting as early as 14 or 15 years old. Seowon from UNIS, born in 2011, debuted at 12, while Jung Cho Ha, aka "Little Jennie," born in 2013, gained fame at 11, stirring up controversy. Jung's rapid rise on TikTok and comparisons to BLACKPINK's Jennie have sparked debates about the pressures of early stardom. Critics argue her debut is premature, blaming her parents for pushing her too soon. The K-pop world remains a thrilling yet controversial space where age and fame often clash.
