Throughout K-Pop’s history, many groups have debuted with members under 18 years old. While the cons of this have often been debated, many fans over 18 have expressed a desire for more new groups with adult members.
Here are three brand-new girl groups whose members are not only adults but all over the age of 20!
1. BEWAVE
GoldDust Entertainment‘s BEWAVE debuted on April 17, 2024 with “Sing.”
The group’s oldest member is likely Yunseul at 22 (01′ liner) and the youngest members were born in 2004. Though their exact birthdays are unknown, Yunseul stated that the group’s advantage was that they were all in their 20’s during their debut showcase.
The group also boast an average height of 170 cm.
2. ViV
ViV debuted on April 11, 2023, under Eva Entertainment Korea with “Bomb.”
The group’s oldest member and first to have a dating scandal, Yume, was born in 2000, while the group’s youngest, Vella, is an 02′ liner and 22 years old. Four of the five members might be familiar to some, as they appeared on the survival show Girls Planet 999.
3. UNICODE
XX Entertainment group UNICODE made their debut on April 17, 2024, with “Let Me Love”
UNICODE comprises five Japanese members, two selected through an audition program and the others personally selected by member Sooah. Only two members’ birth years are officially known at this time through their profiles — Sooah was born in 1999, and Yura was born in 1995 or 1996 — but fans who have followed the idols shared they are all at least 20 years old and their pre-debut work histories support that.
