Trading Places: K-Pop Idols with Opposite Roles in their Personal and Professional Lives

It's truly fascinating to witness how K-pop idols navigate contrasting roles – being the youngest in their family at home but stepping up as the oldest or the leader in their respective groups, and vice versa. Imagine having to alternate between those two roles. It must be confusing!

Let's explore some idols who adeptly balance these opposite roles in their personal and professional lives.

NCT Haechan

Did you know that NCT 127's youngest is actually the oldest at home? If you're not a fan, you would not have known, especially with how he gives off the most maknae behavior when he's with NCT 127!

NCT Taeyong 

Funny enough, the leader of NCT is the youngest in his family! He takes on the leader role perfectly, but at the same time, he is very maknae coded! The people around him baby him a lot; it's the cutest!


BLACKPINK Jisoo 

BLACKPINK's eldest member is the youngest at home. Who would have thought? But then again, she does have a lot of aegyo, so it makes sense!

SEVENTEEN S.Coups

How does he handle caring for 12 chaotic boys as the leader when he's the youngest in his family? That's S.Coups for you. 


SEVENTEEN Dino

Conversely, Dino is the eldest son in his family but SEVENTEEN's maknae. Overall, the group has a very fun age dynamic, and it's just so cool to see. 

Red Velvet Yeri 

Yeri might be the youngest in the group, but she is actually the oldest of four sisters. Being the eldest can be challenging, so it must be nice to be babied and loved as the youngest in the group!

ATEEZ Jongho

Jongho is maknae in ATEEZ but the oldest in his family. He generally has more mature and calm energy, so this clicks!


ATEEZ Hongjoong & Seonghwa

Another reverse role, the two eldest members of the group are the maknaes at home. They might be the goofiest duo when together, but they do carry out the eldest role well.

N.Flying
Seunghyub 

N.Flying is another group with role reversals. Seung Hyub is the oldest member and leader of N.Flying but the youngest in his family. 


N.Flying Dongsung 

Meanwhile, here we have Dongsung as the band's youngest member, but he is the oldest of three sons.

EXID Solji 

If you ever wonder how or why Solji, who is the oldest in EXID, can do aegyo well, it's because she's the maknae at home! 

MAMAMOO Solar 

Our queen Solar is the youngest in her family, but in MAMAMOO, she is the eldest and leader in Mamamoo. She has expressed how hard it was for her to adapt to the role because of that.

Although a prankster (within 127), Haechan comes across as a boss to me.
