It sparked major anger among fans that someone so young could possibly be part of such an intense and sometimes toxic industry. In particular, with rumors surrounding the new group possibly containing members of ZEROBASEONE who are not renewing the group contract, it blew fans’ minds that someone so young could possibly be debuting alongside adults.

Fans pointed out that it might be possible that the person is actually just a trainee and not yet slated to debut. However, it still seems crazy to fans that someone so young is already preparing to enter the idol industry.
