Asa’s Statement Sparks Online Debate
Asa’s revelation about her education created a stir on the internet. Many fans and netizens weighed in on the topic. One user mentioned that Asa’s “kindergarten graduate” comment likely referred to her Korean schooling while she simultaneously attended elementary school in Japan. This user also added that Asa was exceptionally talented, having studied in both Korean and Japanese schools, and urged “brainless haters” and those spreading misinformation to apologise to her.
Another user further added that the K-pop idol was attending elementary school in Japan when she successfully auditioned for YG Entertainment. This user also mentioned that Asa had attended musical theatre classes in Japan to develop her producing and singing skills. After joining YG, she couldn’t continue her formal education in Korea because, as a foreigner and essentially a young child at the time, she didn’t even know Korean.

One more user mentioned that while some people might be genuinely concerned, it’s important to understand that a 12-year-old cannot make such life-altering decisions independently. They also added that the adults around Asa were the ones who allowed her to pursue her dreams, and now she has successfully debuted and secured a career.
