In every K-Pop group, the members have a defined role – rapper, leader, visual, etc. But none of them are as intriguing as the maknae. The maknae is the youngest member of a K-Pop group and is typically easy to spot. They have a cute personality that borderlines on shyness that creates “awww” moments for both fans and their other members.
However, it’s their ability to go from adorkable kid next door to sultry sex symbol they step on the stage that makes maknaes something special. Here are our ten favorite maknaes who define duality.
