Among them is Hitomi, former member of AKB48 and IZ*ONE.
Kim Jae-joong is ready to debut with his new girl group called Say my name.
All seven members have been released, but there are some concerns regarding their ages.
The youngest is Seung-joo who appears to have been born in 2010, which is very young even by K-Pop standards.

While Seungjoo’s age has always been “dubious” to netizens, the situation has further worsened after the latest member’s revelation. On September 13, it was revealed that the former AKB48 AND FROM THEM member Hitomi would be making its debut, born in 2001.

When netizens noticed that there was a 9-year age difference between the oldest and youngest members, many began to express concern.

Well, I’m not sure what to think about this one… and what will be the age difference with the eldest… I guess I wish them the best, but this group might not be for me, after all, she’s not even 14 yet… 😅 Sure, the concept is good, but still…#TELLMYNAME

I love hiichan for saymyname! Maybe they should have gotten a group of people her age together instead of a literal 14 year old

What makes you want to put a 22 year old with a 13 year old… Not even a 15/16 year old directly a new teenager… Seungjoo is talented but she shouldn’t have been the first grader to debut

The issue of young idols debuting has always been a hot topic, but it seems to be even more emphasized considering the age difference between the older and younger members of SAY MY NAME.
