Top 5 Evil Maknaes in Korean Boy Groups

In fact, there are several maknaes with opposite characters to the image above and are often referred as ‘evil maknae’. The evil maknae is usually not afraid to do evil things or to bully his hyungs with ingenuity and hilarious behavior. Here are 5 idols who belong to the category of evil maknae:
1. Kyuhyun – Super Junior
The maknae of Super Junior is famous for his sharp mouth. Some members are often the victims of his mouth, such as Yesung, who becomes his bully target because of his small hands, Heechul, which Kyuhyun considers disregarding his members because he hangs out with Hongki FT Island more than his own members, or Eunhyuk, whom according to Kyuhyun has stinky feet. The comments made by Kyuhyun often make other members speechless and unable to say anything other than laughing resignedly. Because of his talkativeness, many members are afraid to become Kyu’s next target. However, his behavior is indeed a supplementary to the group Super Junior.
2. Jungkook – BTS
Jungkook, the maknae of BTS, is often called as the Golden Maknae thanks to his extraordinary talent. He is good at singing, dancing, handsome, and he can imitate other members excellently. Jimin and Jin once said that they might be able to write a novel about Jungkook’s abnormal behavior. Jin, the oldest member of the group, was even defeated and ran out of words when playing Dangyunhaji / Of course game with Jung Kook.

Jungkook’s behavior always makes other members upset and laugh at the same time.
3. Changmin – TVXQ
