HI CUTIE debut with average age of 12.6, lower than GP Basic but higher than G.Story

Girl group HI CUTIE has debuted with “Play U“, and they’re notable for the fact that their members are aged 11-14, with an average age of 12.6.

Their agency Space Music revealed that they are a five-membered group and the members are former child actresses Yoo Jin, Yoon Jung, Ha Young, Eun Jung, and Chae Rin. Their average age is 12.6, with the youngest being 11 years old and their oldest, 14 years old (by Western reckoning), and are considered the nation’s first “kid” girl group.

As far as I remember, this is the second-youngest average debut age in K-pop girl group history, ahead of GP Basic at 13.5 years old and behind G.Story at 9.75 years old.

Uh … yikes?
