TXT’s Beomgyu and Soobin React to NewJeans’ Hyein Making a Stunning 14-Year-Old Debut

NewJeans, an immensely popular K-Pop sensation under HYBE’s sublabel ADOR, has garnered significant attention for their remarkable abilities and charm. Nonetheless, there have been rising concerns regarding the ages of the members; the eldest among them were born in 2004, while the youngest, Hyein, was born in 2008, making her only 14 years old at the time of their debut. Regardless of the discussions around their ages, many netizens recognize the group’s distinct talent, often attributing any negative feedback to the management rather than the individual members.

Recent discussions surrounding NewJeans’ ages have particularly caught the attention of fellow HYBE artists, TXT’s Soobin and Beomgyu. During a live stream, the two, who were born in 2000 and 2001 respectively, showed their support for their labelmates by tuning in to NewJeans’ music video.

Upon realizing that Hyein was just 14 years old at her debut, Soobin’s expression mirrored the infamous shocked Pikachu meme, while Beomgyu exhibited similar astonishment. Soobin pointed out that Hyein is five years younger than the youngest members of TXT, commending NewJeans’ incredible dedication, stating, “Accomplishing this at such a young age is remarkable.” He also added a humorous note about feeling overwhelmed while shooting their own music video for “Crown.”

This isn’t the first time a HYBE artist has expressed surprise over a colleague’s age. SEVENTEEN’s Seungkwan had a particularly entertaining response upon discovering that LE SSERAFIM’s youngest member, Eunchae, is quite young as well.

Even though TXT made their debut at an early age back in 2019, it appears that the trend of idols getting younger continues. Despite the numerous challenges young idols encounter, they are fortunate to have experienced seniors like Soobin and Beomgyu to offer guidance and mentorship.
