Korea's newest underage idol group, Girl's Story, has drawn both criticisms and concerns on debuting at such a young age. Addressing the debate, the CEO of Girl's Story's agency stated, "Minors also have dreams and hope. We decided on making an idol group because we wanted to grow with them."
During a phone interview with Sports Today on December 30th, Jang Hyun Ok of Ants Star Company expressed, "We did not produce Girl's Story with the intention of earning money. We decided to produce them after seeing the members' dreams and passions. If we ever hoped for money, we would've made a group out of trainees in their mid-teens or early 20s."
He continued, "The most important thing in life is not money, but the dreams of children. I created Girl's Story in the hope of making both the children's dreams and my own come true. Many people around us may be worried and look at us in a harsh manner, but we will direct this group with a parent's mind to create them into great celebrities."
Girl's Story released their debut single on December 28th, and have officially begun their promotional activities through cable TV channels.
