Kpop idols with the youngest debut ages
The youngest member of BTS, Jungkook, debuted around the age of 15, I believe. Stray Kids’ youngest member was 16 when they debuted. Le Sserafim's Eunchae has also been a really popular member who debuted young, around 15 or 16 as well. And Enhypen's youngest member, Niki, was also 15 when he debuted.
Popular Chinese Kpop Idols
The first ones that come to mind for me are members of Seventeen, Jun and The8 – they are the first few to really explode in popularity. I also think of Shuhua, from the girl group (G)I-DLE. There is also a subsection of members of NCT, which is WayV, which are all Chinese members. I think there are quite a few Chinese idols, but those are the ones I know off the top of my head.
Who is the true leader of BLACKPINK?
I think now it would be Lisa, just because she has branched out a lot more in her solo projects compared to the other members. She has gone into acting and fashion and has really established herself in those niches, making her one of the more recognizable members.

It’s hard to answer for sure, though, because Jennie is also well-recognized amongst the group. But if we’re talking about 2025, I’ll say Lisa.
