WonderGirls SunMi and SoHee who are in their high teen have recently become the big sisters in the Kpop world. The new flood of idol groups’ youngest members are younger and all born in 1994 and in their low teens.
We have representatives like
- KARA Kang JiYong (18.01.1994) – known for her cute and refreshing image
- 2NE1 Gong MinJi (18.01.1994) – known for her powerful and charismatic dance performance
- UKiss DongHo (29.04.1994)
- member Kwon So Hyun from 4Minute (30.08.1994)
It seems that after 2000, there has been a trend for singers to debut in their teens, preparing for their entertainer career from a tender age. And it has also been the case where teenagers look up for entertainment companies to audition and train as singers.
It is the trend of the music industry in Korea, it is no longer awkward to see a middle school 3rd year or high school 1st year student performing on the stage. They are in idol groups to give the extra cuteness and refreshing feel.
