I think the new light is great. It's a very natural light. Yeah being an idol at 13 is questionable. Rather than being an incident it's more like a gliding scale though. I mean Classy also has 2 ppl from 2018 and 2 from 2017, Le Sserafim also has a 2017, etc. Idols getting younger and younger seems like a trend for the past few years, and it's worrisome. It also makes me miss mature (female) voices / performances. Just when idols reach that age / get mature they disband. For example: the last music from G-Friend was very different, more mature, then their earlier work. Twice also makes more mature music now. But even those songs are still not like Brown Eyed Girls, T-ara, Sistar, SNSD, etc. There only seems to be Brave Girls now. "You've obviously seen the video before" might also be said because you are so good at analyzing.

- YG should have given them better dorms when they were trainees rather than having to deal with stuff cockroaches and shit. Some idols have had to deal with bad conditions. I remember EXID talking about living in an apartment too small for 5 women to live together in and living off only ramen because that is only their company would provide them (one of them ended up secretly getting a part-time job so she could buy other kinds of food for the other members). - 13 years old is an issue for many different reasons and I really wish they wouldn't keep selecting younger and younger idols. I think companies do it because they have talented trainees and they don't want to lose them to another company if they don't debut them, but still, at that age they should just be enjoying themselves and not being forced into the limelight. - This song always makes me think about Pitch Perfect. - I'm sure they sang a lot of 2n1 songs during their trainee days, just like I expected WJSN to sing a lot of Sistar songs and Twice to sing Miss A and Wonder Girls songs. - It is also customarily spelled differently too. Hwaiting instead of fighting. - Good thing they had a backup camera.

Yeah, there were times when I first started watching DG that I had doubts about it being his first time watching a MV because of how well he picked up on things.

have tried posting this twice already, so here's hoping third times the charm - About the thirteen year old (rant incoming): Let's be honest - she's going to be a target for every pervert in the industry and on the Internet. The trainee system is analogous to the old Hollywood studio system. It produced lots of great stars and great movies, but it was rife with abuse. There are now strict laws about how child actors have to be treated and cared for, how many hours they can work, giving them time to be kids, etc. Korea doesn't have those laws yet. In the U.S. music industry, Justin Bieber is a prime example of not having such laws in place - he got too much too soon, crashed and burned. When I first got into Kpop, I found the trainee system to be really problematic. The strict rules, the long hours, the long training period that can last for a decade or more. Many idols who started young have spoken about how they wish they had had time to experience their childhood - Jenny mentioned this. Also, the rule against dating is ridiculous for idols who are adults. Jisoo is 27, Jenny is 26, Lisa and Rose' are 25, and they are still not allowed to DATE? Half of the "drama" around idols is about if they are dating, who they might be dating, etc. They're adults. How long are they supposed to put their personal lives on hold just so fans can feel like they might still have a chance to be with them - and that's the reason the rule is there. When they're underage and the company is responsible for them, it makes some sense, but, once they're adults, it starts looking more like indentured servitude than a mere contract. These issues - and more - are why I keep predicting that Kpop is going to have to change eventually. I think that many of the more conservative Koreans know this, and I think that they comprise the majority of the haters. They want Kpop to stay the same and they'll try to tear down anything and anyone that looks like change. Kpop has, whether they like it or not, gone International, and if they want Kpop to grow and thrive, they have to allow the industry to begin to adhere to International standards. They can keep the trainee system, but changes need to be made. Rant over.
