[1] Why do they have to train for so long....
- Isn't it because the companies don't have plans to debut them yet?  Some of them started when they were really young so no doubt their training would be long too
- Debuts keep getting pushed back and it ends up taking awhile
- I feel like it also has a lot to do with luck... Most companies don't debut new teams until at least 2 years or 5 years after another.  Plus, if a team is ready to be debuted and someone drops from the team then they'll have to prepare and train again with another...making the process even longer

[2] 15 years....?  Daebak

[3] Jiyong ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ You've gone through a lot seriously

[4] Wow GD for 11 years  ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ He debuted at 19 too... he's an amazing person
- So he started when he was 8??....
- Yeah, 8 years old.  At a ski resort, Lee Soo Man was an MC for one of the dance competitions and GD went on stage & got casted

[5] Jihyo's a '97 line...and yet 10 years...

[6] Jiyong-ah, thank you

[7] Jiyong, you worked so hard ㅜ Thank you for not giving up and following through with debut and thank you for not giving up even after debut.

[8] I won't forget when Yang Hyun Suk said, "Jiyong-ah, do you want to go home after training for 6 years?"

[9] I'm so glad they all pulled through it and got to where they are now

[10] Kwon Jiyong picked this path ever since he was a kid so it makes me proud to see where he is now ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
