525 men and 611 women across 428 K-pop groups, by birth year

Ages move, birth years do not

How to read the table. Every age here is the age a person reaches during 2026. A page rebuilt next year would move every age by one, so the birth year is printed beside it — that column never changes. If you are reading this in a later year, add the difference yourself.

The single largest cohort of men in the roster was born in 1994 —39 of them, turning 32 during 2026. Across the birth years that turn 24 to 30 this year there are 167 men, which is 32% of all 525 men we could count. That is a statement about who was recorded, not about who is due for anything.

Sex is recorded for 78% of them — the rest stay blank

Of 1,464 members, 1,136 have a sex or gender recorded and 328 do not. We leave that column blank rather than guessing from a name or a group, because a guess would be our judgement wearing the source's clothes. Any share you compute from the men and women columns is a share of the recorded part, not of the roster.

Where we refuse to give a number

We do not publish a list of the men on their own. The counts are here by birth year, and names appear on our birth-year pages alongside everyone born that year. A men-only list ordered by age would read as a conscription schedule, which is not what this data is and not something we are in a position to publish about named people.

Place of birth is not citizenship. Some members of Korean groups were born outside Korea, and some born in Korea hold another passport. Wikidata records a birthplace for only part of the roster and never records citizenship for this purpose, so no nationality split appears above.
