“Fake Maknae” is a term used to describe someone who is not the youngest member of a group but behaves in a way that is associated with being the youngest, such as being playful and energetic. It can also refer to someone who is not a member of a group but is treated as if they were the youngest member.

When they say ‘age is just a number’ they aren’t joking when it comes to theses idols.

Apink

Bomi is playful and cute, shes got the variety personality that’s mostly expected from maknae while Hayoung has a mature look. She could totally be mistaken as the leader too as some fans have also mistaken leader and olest, chorong, as the maknae too.

2PM

If you’ve ever wondered what those ‘rich kids who sits at the end of those long dinner tables and grows up to be his own boss’ looks like then Maknae Chansung could fit that description with his charming and his ‘eyes that could kill’ gaze. While Wooyoung looks like the parents favorite guy.

Doll face and oldest Boram could pass of as maknae anyday as she still has those baby chubby cheeks! Both Jiyeon and Boram are pretty but with Jiyeons cat-like eye and Borams puppy- like eyes gives them an age switch.
