'89 line idols are on the rise

Article: Music industry's '89 line', snake zodiac idols are on the rise

Source: Asia Economy via Naver

Filler article talking about how the '89 line idols are on the rise, especially with most being members of groups 3-4 years into their debut. Listed idols are six members from SNSD, Sunye, Yeeun, Ailee, Hyomin, Hyosung, Yewon for the girls.

For the guys, Daesung, Onew, Jo Kwon, Wooyoung, Yonghwa, Shin Yong Jae, all of B2ST minus maknae (some are early '90), and ZE:A's Junyoung, Heechul, and Taeheon.

The article reasons that the reason there are so many '89 line idols is because they grew up watching the first generation idol groups hit jackpot (HOT, Sechs Kies, SES, Finkl, Shinhwa, GOD, BoA) when they were in elementary/junior high school. The article ends with their zodiac fortunes for the year lol..

1. [+167, -3] I had no idea Shin Yong Jae was an '89er..... No idea at all....

2. [+119, -17] To all you idiots asking why Shin Yong Jae is on the list ㅡ ㅡ; This article is talking about snake zodiac idols... '89ers aren't the only snakes, there are also '77ers! He's obviously a '77er.
- ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
- I seriously thought he was 35
- Shin Yong Jae is an '89er but I wouldn't really consider him an idol

3. [+102, -5] I bet my wrist that this journalist will copy and paste this article next year for the '90 idols

4. [+117, -23] There are so many pretty girls in the '94 line like Suzy, Sulli, Krystal, and Jiyoung ㅋㅋ and the '93 line.. well.. has kids like IU and JIyeon..

5. [+91, -4] When are we going to continue pushing out idols? Unless they're as talented as Ailee, stop debuting them. Or at least call them dancers instead of idols since they can't sing.

6. [+78, -1] There really must be nothing to write about for journalists...

7. [+73, -3] Shin Yong Jae is only an '89er? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

8. [+66, -0] Shin Yong Jae is '89er....?

9. [+116, -55] Stop asking why Sunggyu wasn't mentioned in the article. Obviously he's not popular enough for the journalist to remember.

10. [+59, -3] Ah... so Shin Yong Jae is the same age as Kikwang...........
