Upcoming Boy Group’s Youngest Member Is 29 Years Old

As more K-Pop groups debut, the ages of the members are often mentioned when discussing the industry’s impact on the idols. The number of underage idols increases yearly, sparking debates among K-Pop fans.
Recently, many expressed concerns about the youngest active idol, UNIS‘ Seowon, who was 13 at debut, and the group’s busy schedules.

However, as the amount of K-Pop fans around the world increases and diversifies, the number of older K-Pop fans looking to stan older groups does as well. Any group that features all adult members or is older than the average K-Pop group seems to earn a spark of interest from netizens.
A soon-to-debut group might be perfect for those looking for an older group!
Over the last few months, Monster Brain Entertainment has prepared for the debut of Epic Travels.

Initially, the group introduced five members — 32-year-old Jung Eden, who first debuted as a member of BIGFLO in 2014 and as a member of WeNu in 2022…

…31-year-olds Ain, who was a member of TST and NOM and G.I, who debuted as a member of TARGET…


… 30-year-old Sangho, who previously debuted with Snuper…

…and 29-year-old Jinhoo, who was a member of UP10TION.

So far, the group has released two pre-debut singles, and had their first performance in Japan.
On February 19, the group’s X account teased that there would be a new member, while also not including Jung Eden in the post. The following day, it was revealed that the new member was Sangil, a 31-year-old former member of Snuper.
