Meet K-pop’s Sehun from Exo: the lead rapper and dancer, and one of the most bankable faces
The K-pop band’s youngest member is also its tallest and, according to the others, its most handsome. He talks about maturing with the band and how much he cares for his bandmates
Since Exo made their debut six years ago, the K-pop boy band have become household names: they have won numerous music awards, the members have appeared in films and TV dramas, and tickets to their fan events sell out in seconds.
Sehun is also consistently referred to as the most handsome member by his Exo bandmates, but he does not seem fazed by all the attention, preferring to make goofy jokes and focus on developing his singing abilities.
Sehun is also the maknae – or youngest member – of Exo. South Korea is still steeped in hierarchical Confucian values and age is one of the most important factors when establishing personal relationships – and K-pop artists are no exception. This means that the oldest member is often seen as the leader and the youngest is expected to provide the cute factor. As the maknae of one of the most popular boy groups in K-pop, Sehun has one of the largest fan bases among “older sisters” in South Korea.
Here’s all you need to know about the youngest member of Eco.
