K-pop Dictionary › Maknae
The youngest member of a group.
Maknae (막내) is the everyday Korean word for the youngest person in a family or team. In K-pop it means the youngest member of a group.
Because Korean culture puts weight on age, the maknae is often teased and looked after by the older members.
Every group page on this site marks the maknae, worked out from the members' birth dates.
“Tzuyu is the maknae of TWICE.”
