Netizens are talking about the renewed title of the K-pop's 'youngest idol.'

On media outlets, netizens are still in disbelief that female idols younger than NewJeans are now in the K-pop scene. In fact, the youngest idol out of all groups was not NewJeans but Lapillus's Haeun, who was born in November of 2008.

In 2023, the title was taken up by Chiquita, the member from YG's upcoming girl group, Baby Monster. According to her profile, Chiquita was born on February 17 of 2009.
