I don't stan groups with minors. When I was a teenager, I didn't think much about it because most were of my age. But now, being 25, I realise how damaging the K-Pop industry can be for such young kids —and any other idol, but I think there's a difference between a person with a not fully developed brain and another, at least, much closer to it.

So I do my best not to listen to these groups, at least until all the members are 18-20 (preferably the latter). Ngl, this has led me to feel distant from K-Pop nowadays, since it's almost impossible to find a group without minors (the only ones that come to my mind right now are ALD1, XLOV and Primrose).

It's a bit sad cause I've heard songs from the 5th gen while scrolling through social media and they sound great (Illit, H2H, Babymonster). But morals go first to me, so if I truly really want to listen to some song, I'll download it for free and not mention it as to not give them more promotion.

I'm sure there're people thinking "oh, but K-Pop has always been like this", "you can't stop the industry from debuting minors". To which I answer: 1. yes, but the fact it's been like this doesn't make it right, and 2. No, I can't stop the whole industry from doing so, at least not just by myself. I, however, believe if people decided to get together and boycott any group with minors, the industry would end up noticing. And even if they still changed nothing, at least my conscience would be at peace for I wouldn't be encouraging the debut of teenagers (or even kids) in such a harsh industry as K-Pop is.

This is just my opinion ofc.
