Good things come in small packages, and that is certainly true for these young musicians in the K-pop music industry. These petite popstars are shorter than the average female height in South Korea – around 5’3” (around 160cm) – but they stand tall in the music world.
Their small stature might make you think of them as ‘cute’ or ‘adorable’, but don’t forget they are talented performers. They’ve managed to win the hearts of fans all around the world thanks to their cheery personalities and down-to-earth natures.
Here are our favourite fun-sized K-pop idols, as well as the reasons why we love them.
1. AleXa – The Sassy Soloist
Standing at a petite 4’10”, AleXa is a Korean-American K-pop dynamo who first gained attention on reality shows like Rising Legends and Produce 48. Though she didn’t clinch the top spots, her solo career took off with hits like Bomb and Do or Die. AleXa’s versatility extends to collaborations with groups like DREAMCATCHER and even winning the American Song Contest.
2. Hikaru (KEP1ER) – The Pocket-Sized Powerhouse
At 5 feet, Hikaru is KEP1ER’s shortest but most effervescent K-pop idol. Before joining KEP1ER, she was part of Japan’s +GANG and later shined in Girls Planet 999. Her unique vocals and rap skills make her indispensable to the group.
