Best Answer

Maknae (막내) is the Korean word for 'youngest'.

For example, If someone says, "Taemin is the maknae of the Korean boy band, SHINee" they mean "Taemin is the youngest member of the Korean boy band, SHINee."

Maknae can also be romanized as Magnae. It can be used for both boys and girls.

What is special about being a Maknae in a Kpop band?

There's nothing really special about it. The maknae is just the youngest of the group. It's one of those main components of a KPOP group. A KPOP group needs a leader, main vocal, main dancer, main rapper, and the magnae. Although the magnae is also sometimes used as a cute factor. To bring in the young ladies that have a knack for cute adorable little maknaes. It's more of a plot to get more money from the noonas. There are different types of maknaes. You have the typical cute maknae, the spoiled maknae, the abused maknae, the slave maknae, the fake maknae and the evil maknae. They all have different roles in the group. It all matters on the what the fans think.


What does 'maknae' mean when translated from Korean to English?

There is no real direct translation of the word 'maknae (막내)' from Korean to English. The best I can describe the meaning of the word is the youngest person in a family or group of people. For instance, if you're out with your friends and you're the youngest person in the room, people will refer to you as the maknae. Or if you're eating dinner with your mother, father and older sibling, you are the maknae at the dinner table. In Korean culture, the maknae has to respect all of the elder people in the room due to their young age.
