Kpop idols with the youngest debut ages
Someone who debuted very young and is still in the game that comes to mind is Taemin, from the group SHINee. He debuted very young when the group debuted back in 2008 - they were a second-gen group. They’ve been around since he was an early teen, so he’s been doing this a long time and is still making music as a solo artist and with the group to this day.

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.
Popular Chinese Kpop Idols
The group Seventeen, which debuted around 2015 and is pretty popular, has two members from China: Jun, who is currently filming a drama show in China while remaining in the group & Minghao, who is a phenomenal dancer and did classical Chinese dancing, which lends itself to his performance style in the group.

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.
