There are always two people in each group that people remember-the leader and the maknae. In Korean culture the maknae of any family is always looked out after and doted on by his or her older siblings, and whether you're blood related or not, if you're in a group where you are the baby, chances are you'll be loved like one too. Today we're going to take a look at some of your favorite maknaes of K-pop today. 

I haven't met a girl yet who didn't love Taemin of SHINee. Whenever I think of Taemin, I always think of porcelain dolls and a baby's bottom-don't ask. Lee Taemin was born on July 18, 1993 and is the main dancer and vocalist in SM Entertainment's mega 5-membered group. The 19-year-old is undoubtedly the most popular member of SHINee and I think it's his baby face and smile that makes the girls go goo-goo-gah-gah.  

Seohyun was born on June 28, 1991 and is the youngest member of the 9 beauties that make up Girls Generation. Known for her quirky and innocent personality, Seohyun has said that as an only child she feels so grateful for gaining 8 sisters. Imagine having 8 sisters question you when you get your first boyfriend or having him come over to meet the family? Good luck Seohyun, may the force be with you. 

Changmin was born on February 18, 1988 and is the youngest member of TVXQ. Now while he may be the youngest of the group, prior to DBSK's split, Changmin was known to be the casanova of the group. When you're the youngest out of 4 good-looking members, you have to stand out of the crowd, so Changmin, go on with your bad casanova self! 

Son Dongwoon was born on June 6, 1991 and is the youngest of B2ST. Known for his Western-like features, the maknae is a trilingual, piano, and electric flute playing man. Any man who can speak 3 languages and play various instruments will always be a winner in my book. So move aside members of B2ST, because I'm coming for Dongwoon!

Gong Minji a.k.a. Minzy was born on January 18, 1994 and is the youngest of member of the fiercest group in K-pop, 2NE1. Everything about Minji is down-right likeable and no one in the right state of mind can point out one negative thing about this talented youngster. Respectful, extremely gifted, and sweet, Minji is the ideal maknae every group wants in their circle.  

Choi Jun Hong, or Zelo, is the youngest member of rookie group B.A.P. Born on October 15, 1996, the 16-year-old is a rapper, dancer, singer, and beatboxer all in one. Known for his fast-rapping skills and adorable face, Zelo is the group's lead rapper and little wittle baby. Zelo is the only artist on this list that makes me really feel my age and if I could pour any kind of wisdom on to him, it would be this: enjoy your teens and make mistakes you cutie pie you. 

Who is your favorite maknae and why?
