Upcoming Boy Group’s Youngest Member Is 29-Years-Old

As more K-Pop groups debut, the ages of the members are often mentioned when discussing the industry’s impact on the idols. The number of underage idols increases yearly, sparking debates among K-Pop fans.

Recently, many expressed concerns about the youngest active idol, UNIS‘ Seowon, who was 13 at debut, and the group’s busy schedules.

However, as the amount of K-Pop fans around the world increases and diversifies, the number of older K-Pop fans looking to stan older groups does as well. Any group that features all adult members or is older than the average K-Pop group seems to earn a spark of interest from netizens.
