So I decided to rewatch the first episode only questioning that when


This begs me a question. Did Ai stated really young at 12 or am I missing something?

Yeah that's about right, it's mentioned in episode nine that idol applicants usually need to be in the ages from 12 to 20.

Ai probably started at around 12-13.

Yes, Ai becomes an idol at 12 and gets pregnant at 16, 4 years after Sarina dies. 
If Ai becoming idol at such a young age is what confuses you, that's just how disturbing Japan's idol industry is.
There's even "elementary school idol groups" (not mentioned in OnK at all), where girls less than 13 years old become part of idol groups, which is absolutely disturbing considering the audience of idol groups are mostly adult males from 20 to 60 years old. Things get worst when you see the disgusting photos of their meet and greets, like these from an 8 years old idol group, 8 fcking years old girls: https://www.popularasians.com/the-shocking-reality-of-japanese-elementary-school-idols/
Also gravure idols (basically lengerie models) usually start with 15 years old, like Ruby's school friend.

It's disturbing when 8-year-old kids are groomed to be idols when those kids should just be living out their childhood days. It's repulsive, disgusting, and irritating, too. ☹️

I know, right? 😊 I have been recommending Oshi no Ko to my family members (parents, younger sibling, and a friend). My parents are about to give up on it, but I'm still keeping the hope up that they watch the series until its finale. As for my friend, well, we'll see if she likes it or not. My friend doesn't like anime as much as I do. But I would like to talk to somebody about the Oshi no Ko series other than the MAL people online, Reddit people, etc.

You know I didn't even realise that, I thought she started at 16 because she didn't look different from her 16 year old self to when Saitou scouted her at 12-13.

When Saitō scouted her, she has a roundish face (hence, the audience thinking that she's an 11-year old kid before starting her idol career at the age of 12-years old).
