The decision to include her in the program rests with the production team and her parents or guardians, and it's important to consider her well-being and provide adequate support throughout the competition.
Knetz React to Sakata Ena Age
There has been ongoing discussion about idols debuting at a young age, and many netizens found the idea of a 12-year-old participant concerning.
While it was unclear if Ena would debut immediately if she won the show, netizens believed it was inappropriate for someone of her age to be involved in a survival program.
idc about opinions or views, ena should not debut and should’ve never been on the show. if you are voting for her I actually think there’s something wrong with you cause debuting an 11yo CHILD in an industry as tough as the idol industry is just WRONG.

They expressed concerns about the immense pressure and stress she would face, as well as the potential for her to be objectified or sexualized.
The issue of age and the potential impact of participating in such programs is a valid concern that has been raised in the K-pop industry before.
