Dalam sebuah wawancara bulan Juni 2024, Seo menyatakan niatnya merintis boy band atau girl group baru yang setara dengan BLACKPINK tetapi dengan para anggota yang berusia di bawah umur.
“Keinginan saya adalah membentuk sebuah tim mirip BLACKPINK yang beranggotakan anak di bawah umur,” ujar Seo Hye Jin.

Bermacam-macam kelompok meminta pemerintah Korea Selatan agar turun tangan dan mencabut penayangan program tersebut. Hal itu disebabkan karena negeri ginseng ini masih belum punya peraturan yang khusus menangani eksploitasi seksual terhadap anak di industri hiburan, sementara sejumlah negara telah memberlakukan aturan perlindungan anak yang sangat ketat.

A recent study reveals that young individuals are experiencing what could be considered a midlife crisis, with many finding themselves in the most challenging phases of their lives.
The research revealed that across six English-speaking nations globally, an escalating mental health crisis indicated that young people were not among the happiest generations anymore.
Traditionally, happiness was considered to follow a U-shape – where young people have care-free experiences, then a tougher middle age and a more comfortable later life.
But experts say the course of happiness over our lifetime has changed and wellbeing now rises steadily with age instead.
Young people are currently going through what could be called an ‘early-onset midlife crisis,’ with their period of maximum distress beginning as young as age 18.
According to the research paper published by the US National Bureau of Economic Research, ‘the traditional U-shaped curve indicating well-being across different ages has disappeared in these nations, being substituted instead by a significant decline in well-being amongst younger people.’
Individuals polled throughout the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, and Australia,
Canada
and
New Zealand
It was observed that life satisfaction and happiness have declined among young individuals over the last ten years, with young women being particularly affected.
The prevalent use of smart phones and social media in young people suggests this mental health crisis coincided with increasing internet use.
The study suggested the rise in technology meant the youth aren’t going out as much, socialising or having sex, which has impacting overall happiness.
David Blanchflower, the principal researcher (alongside Jean Twenge) and ex-member of the Bank of England’s policy committee, stated to the
Guardian
There was a significant decline in well-being in both the United States and the United Kingdom, which they linked to the rise of social media, cyberbullying, and online body shaming.
The younger generation has grown more isolated. Instead of focusing on the fact that individuals spend time on their phones, we should consider what they miss out on. They venture outside less frequently, engage less with friends, interact minimally with others, and experience reduced sexual activity.
He stated, “There isn’t any doubt that we’re facing a complete global crisis. The youth seem to be in significant turmoil and distress. The real issue now is figuring out how to address this situation, but unfortunately, we haven’t found the answers yet.”
Various research has connected the adolescent mental health epidemic with unrestricted social media use, precarious job situations, and environmental crises.
Young individuals are more likely to find themselves outside of the job market, particularly those dealing with mental health issues.

The title comes from the poem “On Children” by Kahlil Gibran, who is among the most frequently cited poets globally. Born in Lebanon and later an American creator and artist (1883–1931), he gained widespread recognition. His bestselling collection of poetry titled “The Prophet,” published by well-known American publisher Alfred A. Knopf in 1923, features this particular piece.
A lot of content on social media has tackled the strained connection between two-time Olympic gold medal winner Carlos Edriel Yulo and his mom. Online viewers have shared numerous opinions and evaluations about them, often siding with the mother and making statements detrimental to her son’s reputation.
After clinching dual gold medals at the Paris Olympics, Yulo gained international stardom in artistic gymnastics—a discipline where the Philippines isn’t typically renowned. This remarkable achievement earned him both acclaim and wealth; however, it also attracted harsh criticism from online commentators. Consequently, numerous social media entries emerged accusing him of being “walang utang na loob” (unappreciative or failing to acknowledge past kindnesses) towards his biological mother.
I prefer not to join the intense debates surrounding them. Those who aren’t thoroughly acquainted with both the mother and her son often engage in severe criticism over what they deem “inappropriate” conduct from either party, revealing the less flattering aspects of their household dynamics. Their familial relations remain unknown to me, so I feel it’s inappropriate for me to make judgments about them.
Being a mother has shown me just how challenging parenthood can be; most of us who chose to start our own families didn’t receive any intensive training in raising kids or mastering basic child care skills. Back in my day, resources like social and traditional media weren’t at our disposal for guidance; instead, we had to rely solely on ourselves to navigate the difficulties that came along once we took on the role of parents.
Many Asian and Filipino families tend to embed the value of “repaying” our parents for the sacrifices they went through in raising their children. Filial piety is a distinctive feature of Asian cultures, and disrespectful children are chastised because they go against this tradition. Part of our filial obligation to our parents is to repay them for giving birth to us, in terms of both material and emotional support. But come to think of it, children did not demand to be born. While some mothers may claim that a love child is the result of an amorous “mistake,” having children is a consensual decision between two parents. Truly, as Gibran wrote, our children are “the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself; they come through you but not from you, and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.”
Certainly, our kids are destined for a future that no mother or father can experience firsthand. Parents serve merely as tools or conduits through which their children journey into a tomorrow that remains out of reach for them, “not even in [their] wildest dreams.”
It doesn’t imply that we leave our children once they’re born. Instead, we must raise them with love and additional attention so they’ll be prepared for a future where we won’t be present anymore. Essentially, this sums up parenthood. We should guide them until they can walk independently and turn into who they aspire to be, rather than whom we wish them to be. Each of them has their own thoughts and undoubtedly can make their own choices as adults.
During their developmental stages, children ought to be equipped to tackle the challenges they encounter as they journey toward adulthood. It’s essential that they learn how to endure troughs and obstacles throughout these phases. This preparatory phase needs to encompass fundamental aspects of positive social conduct such as respecting others, alongside other widely recognized societal standards. However, one shouldn’t impose our own thoughts upon them; despite sharing certain physical and mental traits inherited from us, they remain distinct individuals with their own identities.
As a parent, I anticipate that my kids will honor me just as I honor them for the choices they make—especially once they reach adulthood. However, respect must be gained over time; it can’t simply be demanded from others, not even from one’s offspring. Throughout those crucial developmental stages, if youngsters frequently witness their parents verbally attacking others, these experiences get deeply ingrained in their impressionable minds. Consequently, they might replicate this conduct among friends or elders alike.
Gibran’s verse about children serves as an advisory for mothers and fathers on handling their offspring; kids are divine gifts bestowed upon them. Children didn’t choose to enter this world. As parents, we yearn for fragments of ourselves to endure beyond our lifetime. These enduring pieces should shape tomorrow. Our progeny belong to us yet stand independent; they must determine the adult lives they aspire towards.
