ppl are speculating there's gonna be more trainees introduced every week. there's been a lot of rumours of sr16g's debut too

their name reminds me of syrup16g. not cool.

[seulgibear.livejournal.com]

it's not their name. it just means smrookies 2016 girls (the boys were sr16b). it changes every year

[smilla-sini.livejournal.com]

i almost sent a comment saying "good for them then", but then i realized that when they debut their name will be another weird abbreviation probably

[seulgibear.livejournal.com]

ugh i hope not. kpop really needs to start coming up with better group names, preferably no abbreviations or numbers

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Ninging is so cute!! And omg her voice. *o* She's still a bit young, but SM regularly debuts 15/16 year old idols so I can see her debuting next year already. Anyway, I already know who could be my bias, lol.

As much as I wish SM to focus on Red Velvet, they're in their second year already, so a second group three years after + with a different concept could work (SNSD and f(x) were even closer in debut years after all). Also, I'm not blind, SNSD and f(x) are moving to different paths.

Ningning is exactly 10 years younger than me (which means shes actually 13). Im getting old damn.

yiyang is super pretty and has such an ~aura about her, she kinda reminds me of mitsuko from battle royale (they don't actually look that much alike but seeing her face made me think of the flashlight scene lol)

[staaan.livejournal.com]

sameee. it's hard being a 92-liner nowaways lol

[carmine-pink.livejournal.com]

Is there a complete list/primer of the Rookies girls? I only vaguely remember the ones who were in Mickey Mouse Club. Yi Yang seems to be closer in age to Red Velvet, while the other girls are more like NCT Dream's age.

[haixiao.livejournal.com]

they're so cute, i'm getting kind of a krystal vibe from yiyang

[seulgibear.livejournal.com]

yeah yiyang is 2 years older than koeun, 6 years older than lami

koeun (http://fy-sr16g.tumblr.com/Koeun) herin (http://fy-sr16g.tumblr.com/Herin) hina (http://fy-sr16g.tumblr.com/Hina) lami (http://fy-sr16g.tumblr.com/Lami)

They basically look like tailor made SM idols lol, also I remember when being 92-line was young....eeeesh how the years have passed

[timetobegin.livejournal.com]

+1

I'm finding it increasingly difficult to stan idols born in 2000 and later when I'm a 91er myself lol. I'm really outgrowing Kpop.

[belintuchiha.livejournal.com]

yep

[iigoru.livejournal.com]

Yiyang looks like a mix of Siwon, Tao and Krystal.

[mntsuklaa.livejournal.com]

Yiyang looks like one of those cool-girl-anime-characters, I love it..

[pineepie.livejournal.com]

it hurts

[annayism.livejournal.com]

yiyang is so beautiful

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

yiyang is damn gorgeous

[jeit91.livejournal.com]

sm trying to cash in on the tzuyu trend, i see

[kukamine.livejournal.com]

[kaypukis.livejournal.com]

i wonder if yiyang & ningning just recently scouted by this year/eoy '15 like chenle?
bcos with yiyang age and face, why she's not included in mmc like koeun & hina?

aside of that, these 2 new sr16g is gorgeous & talented.
after krislutao gate, i'm amazed SM still manage to snatch many hidden gems from china like winwin, chenle, and ningning..

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

good god i'm old
ningning is a pretty girl

[psharp10.livejournal.com]

2002 oh my god

[suehoe.livejournal.com]

[tomatomc.livejournal.com]

the first one looks so sad. or scared. probably just her face.

[sodapab.livejournal.com]

I can't believe there are people born after 2000, lol.

[krissasaur]

Your icon is so fucking unsettling omg.

[sodapab.livejournal.com]

omg really? I know that icon's a bit weird but it was never my intention to make people feel uneasy. Should I ditch it?

[krissasaur]

OH NOOO don't do that! Its fine! I didn't mean it like that hahaha. Its unsettling, but in a funny way! I honestly thought that was what you were going for.

[jeit91.livejournal.com]

no.

[jeit91.livejournal.com]

cuz she looks very similar for tzuyu and she is very popular these days.

[sodapab.livejournal.com]

oh good I was sure I had upset you :D, idk you never know on the internet
lmao I wish I had put that much thought into this icon, I simply thought Key looked silly with the lollipop and I made a gif of it (also because lollipop fits Omona's banner lol)
