The new groupmate of aespa’s members even debuted before they were born.

SM Entertainment recently confirmed the launch of a new ‘Super M’ style girl group. True to the name GOT – Girls On Top, this special girl group consists of top female idols from different generations of SM. This top-tier lineup is also one-of-a-kind in K-Pop, because is there any other group where the oldest member debuted before the maknae line were even born? 15 years apart is a huge gap!

GOT brings together SM's most excellent female idols who were born in the 80s, 90s and 2000s — *GOT brings together SM’s most excellent female idols who were born in the 80s, 90s and 2000s*

BoA is not only a big senior of other GOT members but also a veteran idol singer of K-Pop. The 35-year-old star made her debut in 2000 when she was only 15 years old. She shot to fame at a very young age. After more than 20 years working in the industry, she is now considered an “idol of idols”, a legend of K-pop 1st generation. BoA is the inspiration for many idols to pursue their dreams and stand on stage.

In the 2000s, during the peak of BoA’s career, GOT’s maknaes Karina and Winter (aespa) were only babies. Karina was born in the same year BoA debuted, and Winter was born a year later. This means aespa’s members are around the same age as the number of years BoA has in the entertainment industry, but now they have become members of a group.
