the xikers trainee timeline (in my eyes)

[@goat-min1414]

There is a difference between them joining KQ and joining the lineup for xikers since whenever a company decides on who to debut, they cut and add new trainees all the time. I'm not sure about the diaries, but Minjae answered the question of their order in joining KQ, not xikers. So, it could be that Sumin and Yujun were added to the xikers lineup before Junmin, Junghoon, and Jinsik even though they joined KQ after them.

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking

Thank you for this video! It's good to see their predebut and how they've grown a lot. Also the way you wrote "the hybe to kq pipeline must be investigated" reminds me about Lucy. She was the leader of big hit's first gg but they disbanded bcs some problems and one of the member was imprisoned, so she debuted as a soloist under KQ in 2016 and I think she was the first female artist there. Someone said funny thing like "everytime she's on a small agency, the group who will debut there will be successful" like how bts brings success to big hit and ateez brings success to kq. It's very unrelated but kind of interesting ig so I just wanna share it here

Since you added yechan and junghoon's musical clips- I'd like to add that xikers have a strong connection to musical acting!! Sumin (graduated early 2023), junghoon, yechan, and yujun all major in musical acting at the same school (I don't know if this means yujun yechan and junghoon are all in the same class, but if they are I think that's hilarious). Yujun actually went to a regular highschool but transferred around debut era (early 2023, start of his senior year), so we're going to have almost half the group graduating from the same major at the same art school, lol. Also from the 9 that we know of (it seems like Hunter never went to school in Korea but idk)- 6 went to/are going to art schools. SM JH YJ and YC did musical acting at Seoil Culture Arts Highschool- Hyunwoo and Seeun attended/are attending Hanlim Arts School but have different majors (video production & creating and fashion modelling, respectively). (all this info is from their respective NamuWiki pages :))

Minjae's order seems to be correct but I put (rough) dates to them in case anyone is curious. (based on your info in this video + what I could find on NamuWiki, and some educated guesses) 1. Yechan (likely september-october 2018) 2. Minjae (likely october-november 2018) 3. Junmin (october 2019) 4. Junghoon (october 2019, him and Junmin must have entered at almost the same time) 5. Jinsik (january 2020) 6. Sumin (likely first half of 2020, I would guess around april) 7. Yujun (some time in 2020) 8. Hunter (we have no idea, but I would guess last half of 2020 to early 2021) 9. Seeun (august/september 2021) 10. Hyunwoo (october 2021) The pre-predebut KQ Fellaz 2 must have been purely KQ's soft launching of the guys they were sure they wanted to debut, or they really wanted to keep their hidden weapons HIDDEN, lol
