The Average Age of Debut for some of your favorite K-pop Groups

Posted by Yeom-My24 pts Wednesday, September 7, 2022

When we see K-pop groups debut for the first time, we often get alarmed by many factors. The crazy talent, the fantastic visuals, and most importantly -- the young age! It is common for K-pop stars to debut in their late teens but no later than their early 20s. 

Today, we're going to take a jab at some groups and explore the average age of the group when they debuted! While we can't take a look at all the groups, we've hand-picked some that might be surprising to see! So without further ado, let's take a look! Please note that these ages are calculated in the Korean Age.

NCT Dream - Average Age 16.7 (2016 Debut)

Mark - 18 / Haechan, Jeno, Jaemin, Renjin - 17 / Chenle - 16 / Jisung - 15

Weeekly - Average Age 18.1 (2020 Debut)

Lee Soo Jin - 20 / Park So-Eun, Monday, Shin Ji-Yoon - 19 / Jihan, Lee Jae-hee - 17 / Zoa - 16

SHINee - Average Age 18.2 (2008 Debut)

Onew - 20 / Jonghyun - 19 / Key, Minho - 18 / Taemin - 16

BTS - Average Age 19.7 (2013 Debut)

Jin - 22 / Suga - 21 / RM, J-Hope - 20 / V, Jimin - 19 / Jungkook - 17

Wow - looking at these videos is helping us reminisce about our favorite groups' debut days, and they cannot be any cuter! Yes - some groups' average ages are super low, but groups like Brown Eyed Girls had some late bloomers into the entertainment world. The important thing, however, is that they are still all here, providing us with great music, and they have bloomed and grown musically and visually! What are your thoughts on this list? Were there any groups that surprised you? Let us know in the comments below!

Why would you use Korean age? Even Koreans are planning to stop using that system, for the international fans who read allkpop it's just needlessly confusing.

I'm a little worried. Allkpop article title said "Some of Your Favorite K-pop Groups", and the article actually included some of my favorite K-pop groups.
