There are a lot of K-pop fans who take issue with how young some idols are debuting, for a multitude of ethical and moral concerns. Some fifth-gen groups have members debuting as young as 13. Idols who debuted in older groups at a young age have gone on record to say that they debuted too young, sparking a lot of discussion among K-pop fans about what is acceptable at the moment.
Jackson Wang is from Hong Kong, and he is part of Got7, but has also gone more solo recently. There's also Tzuyu from Taiwan, who is a member of TWICE.
This is a bit of a throwback, but there is a group called EXO that debuted with a concept of EXO-M and EXO-K, which is an entire subset of the group; half the group was from China. They would release songs in Mandarin, and then they would release the same song in Korean. I think there were four members in EXO who were Chinese.
I feel that we don't see as many idols from China in fifth-gen and fourth-gen groups as we used to in third-gen groups.
