In general, how well represented do you think your birth year is in K-pop?

2008, compared to 2020(when I joined kpop and there was like 0 idols who were born in 2008) it's gotten better but very little.

we have some names like Hyein from New Jeans

im a '96 friend too

we got nct doyoung, ten, kun and now shohei too. so i say we ballin with mad talent idk.

the only 'at the time' minor i can think of that debuted young from the '96 line is zelo from bap.

Quote from leqant

In other words, how common is it to run into k-pop idols with the same birth year as you and how prominent are said idols in general?

I'll start with my birth year (1996). Personally I wouldn't say the '96-line are the most prominent birth years but we do have some big names. They include idols in Blackpink's Jennie, Kang Daniel, Kim Sejong, Red Velvet's Joy, Twice's Momo etc. One thing I did seem to notice about 1996-liners was that they generally debuted at a comparatively older age than other birth years. I don't seem to see as many '96-liners debut as minors compared to say the '94-liners

I like this Idea!

Yea but here's the scary thing~ I may be one of the older people in my friend groups, i am the most childish/ the least mature of the bunch
i am 8 months and 1 day older than u my friend and also ur Zodiac is Libra!

and yes that is also true

5/8 members of SNSD were born in the same year

06 They'll show up as time goes, I can only think of two Newjeans members I think

Very unlikely as I was born in 1968, well well before these idols' time and I don't think K pop was even a thing back then.

let's see now

who debuted in 1952?

LMAOOO that's very interesting. For some reason, I'm usually the maknae among my friends yet it depends on who I'm with on my maturity levels. I'm much more goofy with some friends more than others and then other friends are like the friends that y'all talk about everything but not crack as many jokes LOL

Yep!

OMG how do you feel about that? You'll be a legal adult in a little more than 2 months!!!

LOL I think that's okay though. There's a difference between that kind of lack of maturity and getting mad over the dumbest things and saying some of the meanest things without giving thought to them and how they would affect others.

Oooh I bet! Sounds kind of scary tbh. Going from childhood to adulthood legally...you can do a lot more things bur you'll no longer be treated as a legal minor and won't get some of those protections, among other things. But there would be a lot of things you could do!

Not bad

Born in the same year as Sehun and Kai, and just a year older than Jisoo. I don't think there are many idols born in the same year as me (just those two).

I don’t know how well represented, but 97 was certainly a very fine year.

Taeil from NCT and Jackson and JB from GOT7 are also 94 liners.

There's a reason I didn't include my year of birth No, just kidding. That's good to know, though.
