Age is Just a Number, These 6 K-Pop Idols Prove They Can Still Debut in Their 20s

Kapanlagi.com - If you look at K-Pop idols nowadays, especially the 4th generation, they mostly debut in their teens. This has become a common thing nowadays, especially after agencies started implementing age requirements during auditions.

This condition is not without reason. By debuting at a young age, agencies hope that the artists can develop their careers more effectively, without rushing to fulfill mandatory military service, especially for men in South Korea.

However, debut itself is not an easy thing. Each person has different fortunes. Until the time of their debut arrives, many still actively undergo trainee periods. It is understandable that by the time of their debut, their age is no longer young, including the following K-Pop idols.
