when do you stop considering artists rookies?

[OppaIsTrash]

i was just wondering. i know there probably isn't a set in stone timeline that says when you stop being a rookie.

i used to think rookies were artists that had't won a music show yet, but i know that's not really the case. otherwise artists who won with their first song wouldn't still be called rookies. plus i know there are groups who promoted for years without getting a music show win who aren't really called rookies (i wouldn't call kard or pentagon rookies personally).

so, when do you think that an artist stops being a rookie?

For me I stop considering them rookies 2 years after debut.
For example:
Itzy debuted in 2019 so I still consider them rookies.
Stray Kids debuted in 2018 so I don't consider them rookies anymore.

I don't know why so many people will consider a kpop group, which has been around a long time, a rookie group just because they aren't popular.

Yeah, same. After they been around for 2-3 years, they shouldn't be labeled as rookies anymore.

 

[XionMinho]

i think they should stop being called rookies after 2 years

 

[Ilovemyself]

mine’s 1 year..

 

[DarioSo]

For me it's a year or two. Also sometimes it depends on comebacks quantity. More than 5 - not a rookie anymore

 

[jenosimp]

probably somewhere in between 1-2 years

 

[momorings]

2/3 years
i wouldnt say 1 year because itzy are 1 year old and i consider them rookies

1) After they have been around for 2 years.
2) When they get more then 3 wins.
