Netizens responded to a troll asking if A Pink can continue promoting when half of the members will be in their 30s soon. 

On December 27th, a post on a popular online community gained attention after asking if A Pink can continue promoting when half of the members will be in their 30s soon. He wrote, "Can a girl group continue promoting when half of its members will be in their 30s? Of course, the fans would want them but I'm wondering in a realistic term. Upvote if yes, downvote if they should slowly wrap up." 

Many netizens reacted by speaking in defense of A Pink in the comments. Some of the reactions are: "A Pink will make February comeback. Stay tuned ^^"

"I'm sorry but A Pink still has a lot of teenagers in their fandom when they'll be celebrating their 12th debut anniversary next year lol They are so much more popular than what you think and they'll continue to do well. It's not easy to sell out tickets for their concerts and fan meets as an 11-year old group. Many rookies and hoobaes pick A Pink as a role model when it comes to the long living group." 

"It's not about the age. It's about whether the label pushes the group as much as they would to the newer groups." 

"Super Junior is still doing well when half of the members are in their 40s. Why not them?"

"People like you make it harder for many artists and limit K-pop culture. Stop being so proud of being young." 

"Senior girl groups like A Pink and Girls' Generation should stay in the industry for a long time so that they can become role models of the younger girl groups." 

"What's wrong with being an idol in their 30s?" 

"You don't have problems with Shinhwa or Super Junior but then suddenly you have an issue when it's a girl group?"
