@vampahri 😭 also like debuting outrageously young girls and having them drop out of school to focus on idol training ?? like if they flop they're doomed and stuck in one industry n might not have that much upward growth
hot take: companies are purposely debuting idols that aren’t completely ready for the stage so that they curate a fan base that praises their growth, so that fans feel a sense of kinship/underdog story with the idols
