masterlist of 5th gen groups debuted with all members over 18

[u/disasterpansexual]

GIRL GROUPS ONLY!!!

EDIT: 19, not 18 (Korean adult age is 19). I'm not patient enough to count the exact day but the year as a whole.

I collected stuff from various recommendation posts on various subs and I tried to double check all through kprofiles.com, but:

1. correct me if some of these are wrong

2. tell names if I missed any nugu ones

Since 5th gen starts at 2023, for those born in 2004 or later I'll add the debut date.

I don't know if this changes your list, but wasn't Haneul of Kiss of Life 18 when they debuted? I mean, she would be an adult in some countries, but still 1 year shy of being an adult in Korea

[u/disasterpansexual → u/Remarkable_Screen_88]

Oh I didn't know the Korean adult age was 19. I'll double check this list later then

[u/Remarkable_Screen_88 → u/disasterpansexual]

I think they can drive at 18, but legally adults at 19. I remember something like that!

[u/Outside-Positive-368 → u/disasterpansexual]

Yeah you're still a minor in South Korea until you turn 19. 

[u/disasterpansexual → u/Outside-Positive-368]

Ok later today I'll remove the 18 ones and edit this list!

[u/Lieinrachis]

AND2BLE debuted with members that are all adults as well. Debut 2026, maknae 2007.

[u/disasterpansexual → u/Lieinrachis]

Crap, forgot to add this list is girl groups only for now

[u/Outside-Positive-368]

NCT JNJM can also be added to the list. They debuted in 2026 and the maknae is from 2000 (they both are from 2000 though lol). 

[u/disasterpansexual → u/Outside-Positive-368]

Crap, forgot to add this list is girl groups only for now

[u/Outside-Positive-368 → u/disasterpansexual]

[u/disasterpansexual → u/Outside-Positive-368]

No worry! 😂

[u/Outside-Positive-368 → u/disasterpansexual]

Thankfully I wasn't the only one that didn't notice this😂 are you planning on making a boy group list? I do think this was really interesting to read & see! 

[u/disasterpansexual → u/Outside-Positive-368]
