Controversy and Discussion

The ADOR Kpop Audition 2024 announcement has reignited debate similar to previous auditions like The Real Hype Boy. The main point of the issue is the age range set for the audition. Therefore, fans have expressed their concerns, echoing previous complaints from the Kpop community about similar auditions.

• “Next time you will debut 5yrs old. 2011 is crazy let these kids have a normal childhood.”
• “You think a tween is able to make actual thought-out decisions? Only a parent that wants to exploit their kid would let them anyway.”
• “I’m sorry 2011 is crazy.”
• “2011 THAT IS A LITERAL FETUS WTF”

It Has Been A Standard for Audition

While there’s a significant amount of discussion and complaint about the age criteria, many people acknowledge that such concerns are unlikely to bring about a change in the audition requirements. This sentiment stems from an understanding that these rules are standard in the industry and have been consistent across various auditions.

A pragmatic view shared by some is that even though the auditions are open to a wide age range, only a select few will be accepted as trainees, and an even smaller number will eventually debut. This perspective highlights the competitive and selective nature of the Kpop industry, where many aspirants compete for very few spots.

• “Y’all in the comments acting like they’re forcing the 2011s to join…the 2011s ain’t even that young and I think y’all are exaggerating on that. Also no one is forcing them to join, they’re simply putting an age group of people they know who would want to join because nowadays teenagers and kids (especially in Korea) are looking to join an agency to be an idol. They never said they were debuting they’re just asking for people to train under them. It’s literally like any other dance schools except their teaching to be real deals. It’s THEIR decisions to make with THEIR parents. I think y’all should really mind your business.”
• “Everyone, they are not debuting minors. THEY will do the audition train for a few years until they are old enough to debut. Stop jumping to conclusions.”

In conclusion, the ADOR Audition 2024 has sparked controversy due to its age requirements, reflecting ongoing debates in the Kpop industry. While the discussions are fervent, there’s a recognition of the industry’s challenging and competitive nature of the audition and debut process.
