JYP Entertainment has brought fans some of the best girl groups in the industry, like Wonder Girls, Miss A, TWICE, ITZY, and NMIXX. But among these groups, who is the most iconic maknae?
Fans discussed the most famous maknae of JYP Entertainment in an online community. Titled "The First Member that Comes to Mind When You Hear JYP Maknae," who among Sohee, Suzy Bae, Tzuyu, Yuna and Kyujin is the most iconic?
AllKpop noted the post received more than 500 comments, voting on who is the most famous maknae of the music label. Aside from the mentioned girls above, the original poster also included male idols, like g.o.d's Kim Tae Woo, 2PM's Chansung, 2AM's Jinwoon, GOT7's Yugyeom, DAY6's Dowoon and Stary Kids' I.N.
However, as the post centers on girls, most of the comments voted for Sohee. The Wonder Girls' member got a whopping 390 votes out of the more than 500.
JYP has been known for debuting the best female visual in K-Pop. Though these girl groups debuted at different times, they have one thing in common: the member who holds the most stunning visuals is always the youngest.
Maknae means youngest sibling in Korean. So, in a group, maknae means the youngest member.
However, this tradition was already broken after NMIXX's debut. So, who are the five visuals of JYP during their debut era?
To top the list is Sohee, per KBIZoom. She was the first maknae of Wonder Girls before Hyelim joined the group.
She debuted at 15 and quickly caught everyone's attention with her unique and purely visual. In fact, she gets credits for starting JYP's maknae-visual tradition.
Miss A's Suzy Bae followed her. She debuted at 16 and created a craze. After a while, she became the most famous member of the group.
TWICE's Tzuyu inherited the maknae trend from Sohee. She continued the tradition and became the "number one identification" for JYP girl groups.
Next is Yuna. JYP once again stunned everyone when it debuted the girl group ITZY with the stunning visual of Yuna. Her height, perfectly proportioned body and actress-like features put everyone in awe, considering she was just 16.
Lastly, Sullyoon got a lot of attention after her teaser image for NMIXX's single debut, "AD MARE," was released. Though she is not the group's youngest member, netizens love her incredible beauty.
Sadly, JYP's tradition of making the maknae the visual of the group seems to have ended with Sullyoon. Despite not being the group's youngest member, she still has the fans' support.
