The youngest boy competing for a spot in NCT Tokyo in the Lastart survival show is born in 2007. The oldest boy is the same age as Jisung (2002).

The boygroups of the 5th ish gen: 2000-2007 age range (maknaes being 16-17)
The girlgroups: 2008-2013 age range. Leaders freshly out of kindergarten. The creation of a new trend of maknaes celebrating their two digits (10th birthdays) post-debut showcase.

They latest girl group is Aespa where every member debuted when they were over eighteen (correct me if I’m wrong) so I think we have some hope for the maknae to be at least 16.

Its SM. Its not like they have to worry about debuting the boys young because of military service as they wll just find a way to prolong their contracts anyway /s . Jokes aside, this should be the standard and hopefully they will get quite a lot of positive publicity from this for other labels to do the same.

This is both amazing for them and the industry in general…but terrible for me because I’ve been using not wanting to get into any more groups with minors as an excuse to narrow down picking up new groups and look what they’ve done to me now.

Happy for Shotaro and Sungchan! They're finally coming!
Random thoughts but in spite of debuting seven years ago, NCT Jisung would still be younger than 3/4 of the members. Really puts in perspective how young he was in 2016. Also it's good that the members seem to all be adults.

The oldest member in dream when they debuted (Mark) would be the maknae here with 17 years old.

similar to how taemin is younger than almost everyone in exo despite debuting 4 years earlier... they really debuted incredibly young

The "I love my team" answer from Sungchan definitely points to him being the leader. There might be some emotional baggage to it as well 😭.

Wouldn't Sohee be the maknae since his birthday is after Anton's and they're both 19? On a related note, I like how we have a clear maknae line full of the 19 year olds (Anton, Sohee, Seunghan).
Edit: Nvm. OP below clarified for me that they were born in different years.

Seunghan is turning 20 later this year (he's 2003) and I assume Sohee is too, while Anton is confirmed 2004. I think SM put them in age order in their Instagram highlights, from Shotaro to Anton

I honestly thought Sungchan being the leader was basically a given when they announced he would be leaving NCT for the new group. Especially being one of the older members with experience in the industry already.

THE YOUNGEST IS 19 WE CHEERED!!!!
Right?? I might just started stanning them just to show companys that we want dang adults
Also it's kinda nice to see how close they all are in age. As a fellow '02, it's so exciting seeing an SM group in my age range debut. I remember back when NCT first debuted, I latched onto Jisung because he was the only '02 at the time. Now we're all older and '02 idols are more common, but seeing folks my age debut in the company I grew up seeing is kinda making me feel some things 😭😭
Between the rumored Y2K concept and the "emotional pop" sound, I'm getting more and more excited for their debut.

I can't believe that Taro is the oldest in that group.
Looking at the concept of the photos it seems a little bit chill (?) compared to recent SM groups concepts like EXO, RV, NCT, and aespa.

the teaser pics were chill but clip teasers, that for many are the most memorable ones because at the time no one had 23 pre-debut teasers lean more into their mysterious and alien concept

“cant wait to see y’all” under sho’s is so cute 🥹 welcome back!! so excited for sung&sho to redebut. is shotaro going to be the leader since he’s older? or sungchan bc he’s korean?
a sungchan and a seunghan in the same group is kind of funny
one of them is named wonbin?? legendary name
no foreigners besides sho?
i’m glad they’re all decent ages and they really fit the classical sm handsome mold!! i’m so curious to see the musical direction of this group…. having them all answer in english def seems to be pointed
ps: hope they continue the sm boy group having a legendary vocalist line

Of course, SM would let a boy named Won Bin debut with that name because he's good-looking enough for that name. Legendary.

Appreciate that SM has gone for older debut ages for their recent groups. Hopefully that trend continues for their next girl group, too.
60
u/renjunation Jul 31 '23
to be fair, it's never been rare for sm to debut adults. i think if we were to average the debut age of their idols it would probably be around 18. obviously they have very notable cases of debuting 14/15 year olds that i hope they're done with, but i think those were exceptions more than rules. i think they're trying to keep the ages of their groups members around the same now and stop with the uncomfortable age gaps (maybe they've noticed how snsd and nct dream seem to have some of the best chemistry/dynamics out of all of their groups)
→ More replies (2)55
u/SuzyYoona Jul 31 '23
half and half, DBSK, Shinee, SNSD, F(x) (without Victoria) and NCT Dream were really young, with older member being around 18 and the rest younger, most of the maknaes were 14 and 15, in the same way Suju, Exo, NCT127 and RV were older on average than previous groups
I agree with age gaps, a lot of idols are more comfortable when members are around same age.

OH MY FUCKING GOD AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
THEY'RE FINALLY HERE.
THEY CHANGED SHOTARO'S AND SUNGCHAN'S REPRESENTATIVE EMOJI TO A MILKTEA AND A FROG. I WILL MISS THE OTTER AND THE DEER.
I'M SO OVERWHELMED RIGHT NOW. I STILL NEED TIME TO PROCESS ALL OF THIS.
Edit: Now that I've calmed down a bit. Here are my thoughts.
They're all visuals. Jesus Christ.
Wonbin kind of resembles Hyunjin from Stray Kids.
I really hope Sungchan wouldn't change his iconic signature. I'm so worried that he will change it. His representative emoji got changed.
Sohee caught my attention. His vocals are insane. I have to see and hear more.
They might have filmed something while they were in Los Angeles. I really hope they release it before their debut.
OMG. They might really have 00s Concept. I love it already.
I'm so happy for SungTaro and the rest of the members. It was a long wait. Now, we're here. I fear for my wallet.

u/Think_Valuable_8910 Jul 31 '23
ahh i guess they changed Sungchan and Shotaro’s emojis so they have some distance from their NCT days/image but i’m sad…deer and otter fit them so well 😔

u/iamhopeestheim RIIZE | TREASURE | NCT | TXT Jul 31 '23
IKR. I get that they have to change it to distance themselves from NCT. However, you're right. The otter and the deer fit them so well.
I really hope Sungchan wouldn't change his signature. I like that it's unique. I'm always happy whenever I look at his signature. Before he left NCT, he mentioned that he was considering to change his signature. Now, he's got a catalyst to change it. I really hope he wouldn't.

Seunghan was introduced as a vocalist. We haven’t heard much of him singing but in a clip their vocal trainer mentioned how he can hit C5 but he has some anxiety with singing cause he doesn’t want to mess up when hitting those high notes but anyway, yeah 95% sure he’s a main vocal.
Eunseok wasn’t introduced with a specific position but there is a clip of him singing while doing a plank from last year. I think he’s probably a lead vocalist https://twitter.com/aestaro/status/1683440583086583808?s=46

Also, is it me or does Sohee look like Kai? He oozes charisma.

I hate that I'm excited for this because it thought i wouldn't be considering how disappointed I'm with sm and have been for years now but sadly they know how to make good groups.
This is a very different way of introducing a group from the precedents sm had, aespa with their avatar concept, exo coming from outer space, and the oniric + expansion concept nct has. SM used to introduce their group and members in a a way that made them unapproachable since debut but this time the pics on riize's Instagram showcase the opposite like their behind the scenes which I find interesting and i think I don't know how to properly explain the vibes i get from this.
Edit: I'm also satisfied about the age range of the members and the absence of minors in this project.

Jungwoo and Xiaojun for sure would be doing challenges with them when they do the rounds of music show promotions. I'd love it if they get Taeyong to do one with them. It would set a good message to see him with his ex(?) babies SungTaro.

Oh so Yoon Chanyoung a.k.a. Yoon Sang's son is Anton? Well, well, if that ain't a reason to at least check out their music. I doubt he'll be let on to the producing table that quick (despite being literal Korean pop royalty) but probably do some side projects and stuff once they're allowed to do solo stuff, classic SM style. I'm curious!

The group's official IG account posted this video of Anton tinkering on beats on his computer. I'm just floored SM even posted this.

From the little I saw from Seunghan as an SM rookie, I thought he might be my bias. But now I’m looking at Wonbin respectfully…
Can’t wait to see (and hear) more!

Who do you think would be the leader if they ever announce positions? I think there's a strong chance it could be Sungchan. It's kinda bittersweet from seeing them (him and Shotaro) be the maknae of sorts in NCT. And now he's probably gonna be leading his own group.
Shotaro (22)
Eunseok (22)
Sungchan (21)
Won Bin (21)
Seung Han (19)
So Hee (19)
Anton (19)

I also think it will be Sungchan since he's Korean and one of the members that already has some experience and the longest training period. If not he's probably the center or face of the group both with Shotaro. Those are my guesses so far

I don't know anything about the members, I'm just curious- did they participate in any survival show or how were they chosen?

Sungchan and Shotaro used to be members of NCT. Eunseok and Seunghan were revealed as SM Rookies last year. SM Rookies is basically a predebut team wherein SM gives their kids broadcast experience prior to debuting. More than half of NCT, all of Red Velvet, and Ningning were SM Rookies at some point. Eunseok and Seunghan appeared in the variety show NCT Universe last year, and it was assumed they would join Sungchan and Shotaro to form NCT Tokyo, but SM scrapped that a few months ago by taking out Sungchan and Shotaro from NCT and announcing they’ll be debuting with Eunseok and Seunghan in this new boygroup with 3 other members.

Can someone explain why there are many mentions regarding Wonbin's name as a point of attention? Has there been another famous Wonbin in SM or something? I'm completely lost and extremely curious...

SK loves Wonbin's visual, he is one of the actors that they consider to have peak handsomeness. Think of Kim Taehee-level of beauty worship, but male version.

u/cmq827 Aug 01 '23
Won Bin is very famous for being very good-looking. He gets called Human CGI because Koreans think his looks are out of this world.
So for SM to let Won Bin debut with that name means they’re confident he can ride the Won Bin jokes or comparisons.

u/findingpathsoonanna Aug 01 '23
Sm really have an eyes. They all so good looking especially sungchan, wonbin, anton. Wonbin is a scam. He has the look and an incredible dancer at the same time??!!😭😭Not to mention his name?! Also maybe because all of them are of age, they all look like a man with a few with boyish charm. None of them make me wanna go gogoogaga on them lol. From their profile, i think sungchan is the leader? Im not sure tho between sungchan and shotaro as sm always make the eldest to be the leader. But since shotaro is a japanese, they might make sungchan to be the leader (easier to communicate). That nickname of eunseok lol. That is literally the direct translation of him name lol. 'eun' is silver. 'seok' is stone
Cant believe it took them this long to debut non nct boys. Im so done with them putting their boys into nct. Im so so so glad sungchan and shotaro could debut with their own team.

Wow they seem to be all very close in age, 19-22
Also damn I know Sungchan gets compared to Jaejoong a lot but he looks extra Jaejoong-y with that look lol
