• she’s younger than my sister and I can’t even imagine my sister doing this. she deserves to debut but later in life she deserves a childhood

• The audacity of these people to actually make her participate
• she’s too young to debut so I won’t root for her but I hope she does well in the show, if she debuts later on I will 100% support her she looks cool !!
