Here are 10 K-Pop groups who have the tallest maknaes, but despite their staggering height, are still loved as the smol babies they are!
1. ITZY’s Yuna
ITZY debuted in 2019, and Yuna instantly became notable for her gorgeous visuals and towering height! The group’s visual maknae stands at a height of 170 cm (5 ft. 6 in.), which makes her the tallest in her group!

3. NCT Dream’s Jisung
NCT Dream‘s Jisung is the maknae of the entirety of NCT, and when he debuted, he even looked like the smol tiny maknae.

Jisung stands at 180 cm (5 ft. 10 in), and absolutely towers over the rest of his members!

5. BLACKPINK’s Lisa
BLACKPINK‘s Lisa may not be the tallest in her group, but she comes in at a close second! Standing at a tall 166.5 cm (5 ft. 5.35 in.), Lisa looks taller than she is because of her long arms and legs, and also due to her immense stage presence onstage!
