Netizens were shocked to see young idols with so much makeup, looking much older because of the image they were portraying.
Omg!!! My friend and I saw her walking in Shibuya last weekend and she was wearing these super tall heels and her mum was holding her up. She was very clearly a child wearing a full beat and fake eyelashes and wobbling around on these giant shoes idk it was so weird :/ https://t.co/YlT8fgbEKT

They are literally still in primary school 💀 the youngest member is 9. Freaking NINE years old.
We (hopefully) all know how sexualized and exploitative the idol business and fans can be.
How is this even allowed.
It should just be illegal to become an idol at that young age

In the thread, the OP shared the birthdays of the members.
In particular, the OP explained that the members are so young that all their Instagram accounts are being handled by their parents or guardians.
It is a topic that continues to spark debate.
