The Best Girl Group Maknae Members In K-pop part #1

In Kpop, the term ‘maknae’ refers to the youngest member of a group. For Koreans age is very important because Korea is heavily influenced by confucianism, where juniors are expected to show a lot of respect to their seniors. The maknae usually represents innocence and is expected to be the most adorable member of a group. Being the maknae is not an easy task, some argue it’s as hard as being the leader, since maknaes have a whole set of responsibilities, from being the one who generally has to make the most aegyos, to making ramen for everyone. XD

Every group has their youngest member, but each maknae has their own individual charm, humor, and personality. Who are your favorite Kpop maknae girls?

While Blackpink's Lisa is considered to be one of the most popular girl maknaes, other likeable maknae girls include Red Velvet's Yeri, Momoland's Nancy, EXID's Jeonghwa, and CLC's Eunbin.
