Gen Z has its own unique perspective, memes, and sense of humor that’s totally different from those of previous generations.
Gen Z K-Pop idols are totally a part of their generation’s culture, and here are 7 times they proved it!
1. Soobin (TXT) asking why people bother to learn math when calculators exist

2. Jungkook (BTS) constantly recreating the “We irritating” meme
There’s no doubt that Gen Z loves their memes! BTS‘s Jungkook loved striking the pose from the photo that inspired the “We irritating” meme, and he took every chance he got to show his love for the meme!
3. Yugyeom (GOT7) making a dance to the “Ottoke Song” that would fit in perfectly on TikTok
Although most K-Pop idols use the “Ottoke Song” to show off their cute sides, GOT7′s Yugyeom used it to show his Gen Z side off instead! While singing this song, he hit the whoa, did the nae nae, and the shoot dance.
4. Shinwon (PENTAGON) speaking in keyboard smash on the radio
