1. Mark joined the company in 2013, but he came in after Haechan, so I think it was 2020 or 2021, and I saw that there were 100 trainees, but I don’t know if that includes existing trainees or just new trainees…

> So the rate is 100:1??;;;;

2. Wow NingNing came to Korea so long 

3. Wow it’s so hard out there 

4. The criminals being gray ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

5. Karina and Winter also came really early. NingNing was in the Rookies so I thought she was there for a long time

6. They must have so many trainees there. Just looking at other ex-SM trainees debuting in other companies

7. They welcome so many new trainees but they have so many existing trainees too..

8. The way they only debut a tiny amount of them is impressive

9. Why did Yushi joined then ㅠㅠ

10. Imagine counting existing trainees, there must’ve been so many
