Comments on Theqoo:
- The middle school is a compulsory education … have they abandoned while they were trainees?
- It is not as if their decision was entirely, that’s why people speak. Who knows if the company has wrapped them. But is it really a post of hatred? People are excessively sensitive like glass hearts.
- They should have at least ended up compulsory education.
- Only graduates in elementary school ????
- Maybe it’s because they were too young … but seriously, I wish they had gone to school. There are many people who have still completed middle school and high school during training.
- SM is particularly bad with this. Some beginner women have started training in elementary schools and abandoned all levels – elementary school, middle school and high school – but have not yet debuted with Aespa and now live only as ordinary people.
As the recourse grows, many urge Smeniorinment To issue an official explanation and clarify his Educational policies for minor trainees. Starting now, the agency has not responded to growing criticisms.
