Ever since HYBE Labels‘ newest girl group, NewJeans, debuted, fans have expressed their uncertainty and discomfort about the maknae, Hyein‘s, young age.

Born on April 21, 2008, she turned 14 just a few months ago. And while she’s certainly not the first K-Pop idol to debut at 14 — in fact, there are actually several — the group’s management was met with controversy due to the potentially “suggestive” lyrics of some of their songs (which they recently made a statement about).

Despite all of this, NewJeans has already been making waves in the K-Pop industry, and the members of the group are undeniably talented, so it’s well-deserved!

Recently, though, a post on Reddit made the revelation of just how young Hyein is when compared to other K-Pop groups — specifically, Girls’ Generation.

The second-generation girl group debuted on August 5, 2007, which was about 8 months before Hyein’s birthday. And Girls’ Generation did just celebrate their 15th anniversary since debut, while Hyein recently celebrated her 14th birthday!
