Idols Who Debuted While Very Underage vs Now: A Devastating Thread

[LostInTheDream]

I was watching a video about Haechan from debut till now and was so shocked how much he has changed, not just appearance wise.
I'm also super bored with this quarantine thing and enjoy researching stuff so I thought why not?
So I decided to make a thread of idols who debuted several years underage vs now, so we could all see them grow up.
I'm using international age and they're all gonna be 16 years old or younger (3 years below Korean age limit).
The after age is their current age, not the age they were when the pic was taken.

The members of Boy Story
I feel like they Debut wayyyy too early

 

[stanloona]

Busters Members range from 2003-2006 and debuted in 2017 meaning they were about 11-134 years old when they debuted. And they’re still active now and older. But even in 2020 I feel like the 2005-2006 members are still a little too young and the 2004 is pushing it. But I mean they do have some success.
