Recent studies have revealed that the onset age for the presence of multiple stellar populations (MPs) in star clusters seems to correspond to the disappearance of the extended main-sequence turnoff in young clusters, a pattern associated with stellar rotations. A speculative suggestion is that MPs might be caused by the magnetic brake, a stellar evolutionary effect linked to rotation. In this work, we use the young massive cluster NGC 419 as a testbed. We examined if its magnetically baked MS stars would exhibit MPs. Using the deep ultraviolet and visible images observed through the Hubble Space Telescope, combined with a specific color index that is sensitive to the nitrogen (N) abundance, we examined if its late G- and K-type MS stars are affected by N variation. Our analysis reports that the morphology of its GK-type MS is most likely a simple stellar population, and only a negligible probability, which indicates a N variation up to 0.4 dex is present. We therefore conclude that there is no significant N variation among its GK-type MS stars. The absence of a significant chemical variation among the late-type MS stars indicates that MPs might not be a specific pattern of magnetically braked stars.
