These ten female idols are small and petite, but their enviable proportions make them look taller than they actually are!
1. Red Velvet Irene
Thanks to Irene's fantastic physique and her long and slender neck, Irene looks at least 165cm tall. However, according to her profile, the idol is actually 158cm tall.
While once ridiculed for her height, with many saying her height does not suit an idol, people are now acknowledging Irene's superior proportions and figure.
2. MAMAMOO Wheein
MAMAMOO may look tall on stage, but all the members are actually on the shorter side. While Wheein's profile says she is 162cm tall, people believe her actual height is 158.9cm tall.
Though on the petite side, Wheein always manages to look like a model, thanks to her even proportions!
3. MAMAMOO Hwasa
Hwasa does not shy away from showing her long, sexy legs on stage! However, as she is often in heels and outfits that show her figure, some people can mistake Hwasa for being 170cm tall!
However, according to her profile, the idol is reportedly 162cm tall. Some speculate that the idol is actually160cm.
4. Girls' Generation Taeyeon
All Girls' Generation members are known for their beautiful, long legs. When lined up together, it is hard to notice who the petite members are due to heels and outfits that reveal their legs.
Many may be surprised to learn that Taeyeon is only 158cm tall! However, since her legs are long and proportionate to her torso, Taeyeon looks taller than she actually is!
5. Girls' Generation Sunny
The same applies to Sunny! When lined up with her other members, it may be hard to spot how petite Sunny is since she often wears heels and short skirts to make her appear taller.
Like Taeyeon, Sunny stands at 158cm tall. Taeyeon and Sunny are the two smallest members of Girls' Generation.
6. TWICE Chaeyoung
In TWICE, it is easy to spot which members are tall and which members are short when lined up together. Individually, however, it may be a little harder to notice if a member is petite or not! The members have grown taller throughout the years, leading others to tower over another.
Chaeyoung is the only member of TWICE who does not reach the 160cm mark; she stands at 158.9cm tall. On the other hand, Dahyun, who debuted at 158cm tall, grew by 3cm throughout the years, making her 161cm tall. However, it is not easy to notice how short Chaeyoung is due to her enviable figure!
7. WJSN Luda
WJSN is currently receiving lots of attention due to their participation in "Queendom 2." Among the members, Luda is attracting the most attention due to her figure, which people are saying is even more proportionate than Taeyeon's!
While on stage, Luda looks like she could be 170cm tall due to her long legs. However, she is actually 156cm tall! Her cute height and appearance have won over the hearts of many.
8. Kep1er Kang Yeseo
Kep1er is a nine-member girl group where over half of the members are less than 160cm tall. Compared to the other members, who look cute and tiny, Kang Yeseo looks like a tall model. Therefore, some initially believed she was one of the tall members.
However, she is actually 157cm tall! Thanks to her long legs that match her torso, she looks taller than she actually is. However, since she is only 16 years old, she might grow taller in the future!
9. Oh My Girl YooA
YooA is the envy of many due to her superior body proportions. The idol is often confused for being tall due to her long limbs, but the idol herself has stated that she is only 159.2cm tall!
Since YooA's head is small and her arms and legs are slender, YooA looks taller than she actually is. Though small, her body fits the nine-headed golden ratio.
10. IZ*ONE Yabuki Nako
Though Yabuki Nako is back in Japan as an HKT48 member, K-pop fans will never forget her as a member of IZ*ONE!
When put together with the other girls, there is a noticeable difference between her height and the other members. However, many were surprised to find that she is only 150cm tall! She has a 21cm difference from Jang Wonyoung, the tallest member of the team.
