But wouldn't it be normal if the '96 liners retired?

‌The '96 liners will be 32 next year.
While athletes' careers are extending these days
and many people are playing for a long time,
by older standards, that is considered veteran age.
Unless they are exceptional players,
they will eventually be pushed out by younger talent in their 20s,
so it wouldn't be strange if they started retiring soon.
To be honest, even Son Heung-min is 36,
but because he is so outstanding and manages himself so well,
he continues to play for the national team.
However, most others would be out due to aging and declining skills.
When the '96 liners reach their late 20s,
people might wonder, "Are they still playing?"
But it's fine if they just call it quits now...
