Triples‘ Lynn is even taller at 172 cm…

…while IZNA‘s Koko is the tallest of all at 173.5 cm!

Netizens discussed how the reason for it may be a careful curation prioritizing tall trainees.

  • “It must be super hard to find someone who’s 170 cm in Japan, lol. Impressive, like gathering rare gems.”
  • “Because they only pick tall people…”
  •  “In Japan, they don’t pick tall people as idols, but in our country, tall people are more likely to be chosen as idols, so maybe that’s why they’re coming here? I know that in Japan, shorter people are usually considered more ‘kawaii’ and tend to be more popular.”
  • “Even among guys in Japan, it’s super rare to find anyone over 170 cm…”
