These are the K-pop girl groups with the biggest age gaps between their youngest and oldest members
Despite the large age difference, they still have a harmonious and good relationship with each other.
While many K-pop groups have members whose age is quite similar, there are also many groups with surprising age differences. In addition, looking at the age difference of female idols in the same group, fans partly understand the fierce competition of the path to debut to becoming an idol. While some idols have debuted in their teens, some idols have to be under training for a long time.
Gaeul – Leeseo (IVE)
Raging the K-pop race at the end of 2021, rookie IVE continuously became the focus and attracting special attention from the public. Besides the outstanding Wonyoung and Yujin, fans also keep an eye on the couple of the oldest and youngest members of IVE. Many viewers hope that this talented 5-year-old different duo will have the opportunity to develop more in the future.
From the very first days of her debut, Gaeul, born in 2002, was noticed by the public thanks to her pure, sweet and gentle beauty. She is considered to have the aura and charisma of an actress. In addition, Gaeul is also known for her flawless bare face with her smooth and healthy skin. Despite having the advantage of both appearance and talent, the rookie group’s eldest sister IVE has not really shined.
Gaeul’s debut age in the eyes of longtime K-pop fans is already quite small, but when knowing that IVE’s youngest member was born in 2007, meaning she was only 15 years old, people are even more shocked. She has received many compliments for her ability to handle situations on stage. Besides, the fresh and attractive face of the youngest Leeseo is not inferior to the senior. Since she was a child, she has been a model for SM Kids – SM Entertainment‘s child modeling agency.
Yujin – Yeseo (KEP1ER)
As a girl group formed after the survival program Girls Planet 999, the KEP1ER girls come from different groups and countries. In particular, some members have debuted for a long time and have a lot of experience in performing. Besides, what caught the audience’s attention was the rather large age gap between the oldest member Yujin and the youngest Yeseo.
Having worked for Cube Entertainment for 6 years, Choi Yujin holds the position of center and visuals of CLC. However, CLC’s coverage has stagnated compared to fans’ expectations. Therefore, Yujin decided to leave and change her fate when participating in Girls Planet 999. Here, she excelled in showing her talent and bravery, holding the current leader position of KEP1ER. In particular, possessing a young and gorgeous beauty helps her not to be inferior when standing next to younger juniors.
What makes netizens more surprised is that Yeseo, a female idol born in 2005, is the youngest member, but she also has a lot of stage experience. Before debuting with KEP1ER, Yeseo debuted in 2 other groups. It is known that in 2010, she worked with the child group CuteL when she was only 5 years old. At the age of 15, she joined the girl group Busters. Up to now, Yeseo continues to spread in K-pop, becoming a member of KEP1ER when she was only 17 years old.
Irene – Yeri (Red Velvet)
Looking at the opposite personalities of Irene and Yeri, fans can easily guess the generation gap between the two. The eldest member Irene was born in 1991, now turning 30 years old. Almost all Red Velvet‘s fans know that Irene lives a very quiet and introverted life. This personality brings her a sense of charm and magic to the audience, but it often causes the female idol to get in trouble because she is often thought of as cocky.
Meanwhile, Yeri born in 1999 is famous as a “diplomatic saint”. The youngest member of the Red Velvet family has the ability to make friends with anyone, regardless of age or gender. Therefore, the female idol always radiates passionate, sociable and friendly energy. Besides the Red Velvet members, Yeri also has a proud group of close friends like Nayeon (TWICE), Taeyeon (SNSD), etc. In terms of beauty, both the two have their own charms.
Nayeon – Tzuyu (TWICE)
4 years apart, but the difference in personality of Nayeon and Tzuyu doesn’t come naturally. The youngest sister, born in 1999, is the youngest in the group, but she is thoughtful, careful and quite quiet. And the oldest member, Nayeon, born in 1995, is known as a cheerful, naughty, extremely “childish” female idol.
More specifically, with a tall body, Tzuyu looks like an older sister than Nayeon. However, the two are still extremely close, often caring, even joking and teasing each other.
The huge age difference between the members of the group made netizens’ eyes widen in surprise. However, the oldest and youngest duos are always close and taking care, and having a sweet relationship with each other.
