NCT has too many members and they debuted in different units. Jungwoo, Lucas and Kun also got added in differently so I'm excluding them

Nu'est's fans are the winners. Aron is American but he would've went to the army since 2012. I'm pretty jealous of LOVEs? ^^!!

2. [+82, -18]
Nu'est had a comeback. Please listen to their song I'm in Trouble a lot!!!!

The two groups from Pledis were one of the youngest when they debuted...

Shinee also debuted when they were so young. Onew was 20 and that would've make him a '01 liner. Jonghyun was 19, Key and Minho were 18 and Taemin was 16. Their average age was 18.2 and Taemin is still 28 and he'll be enlisting 14 years into his debut. Taemin is a legend...

Nu'est is daebak..

Shinee are seriously age-gangsters... they are 13 years into their debut but their average age is only 30

SHINee, and especially Taemin, were babies when they debuted. 14 year old Taemin with his bowl-cut in Replay

lmao I'm always confused when people say that. Idols have always debuted in the 16-22 y/o range (more or less). They forget that people like Taemin, Hyuna, Sulli, Krystal, Ukiss' maknae debuted at literally 14-15. If anything people are debuting older nowadays. There's several 94-96 liners still debuting when back then people debuting in their mid 20s were exceptions.

Nuest were really young, all their year mates (btob, bap, exo, vixx) have had to start enlistments already but they have a few years still to go
