It’s Hard To Believe These 5 Idols Are Their Groups’ Maknaes

The word maknae refers to the youngest member of a group, but these 5 maknaes may have outgrown the term.

Some group’s maknaes, however, have come a long way since their debut and have blossomed into full adults. In fact, a few idols have grown up so much that many fans don’t even realize that they’re the youngest members of their respective groups anymore.

1. BTS’s Jeon Jungkook

Jeon Jungkook of BTS is also known as the “Golden Maknae”. Jungkook debuted in 2013, at the age of 15, and is now 19 years old. Jungkook is BTS’s lead vocalist and dancer.
