[theqoo] THE LONGEST-SERVING SM TRAINEE WHO STILL HASN’T DEBUTED
“He joined the company when he was 13 and it’s already been 10 years since he’s been training. He’s the 04’er Songha. If he debuts next year, he’ll be 24. Irene already set the example, but if male idols want to establish their territory, they need to make a bang in SM’s concerts, and various award shows before enlisting. We thought he’d be debuting in 2026, but the date has been pushed again. Explosive comments poured in saying “this is the cruelty of the SMRookies system”
04’er Songha
1. I feel like he’d be popular if they debuted him, so why aren’t they?
2. I bet he’s coming out soon with all the mediaplay
3. But I feel like you need to be lucky to debut. There are so many trainees who joined the company and debuted right away. He must be having a hard time
4. Huh? Why is everyone always bringing up RIIZE… He doesn’t fit RIIZE, of course they don’t debut them. Your face and skills are important for your debut, so is luck. Don’t you know how much luck plays into this?
5. How can you debut a man born in 04? Just give up at this point..
6. He’s already old so it’s so-so. And seeing how they’ve debuted others who can’t even compare to him makes me realize debuting is all about luck
7. SM was the one who scouted him, but he endured the trainee life this long because he actually wants to debut as an idol, so why is everyone suddenly telling him to become an actor? People really need to stop meddling in others’ lives
8. Ah he was so handsome when he was younger, what a waste of his youth ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
9. I feel like he can still debut and be super popular
10. Should’ve added him to RIIZE. Why didn’t they debut him?
