This LAPILLUS Member Is One of the Youngest K-pop Idols to Ever Debut
On June 7 at 6 p.m. KST, an introduction video of LAPILLUS Haeun was uploaded to the group's official YouTube channel.

The LAPILLUS member added that she would like to try making her own choreography these days. At the end of the video, she asks K-pop fans to show a lot of attention to Haeun and her group.
While Haeun said in the clip that she's already 15 years old, she's only 13 years old by international reckoning, making her one of the youngest K-pop idols to debut in the music industry. She was born on Nov. 2, 2008, so she is yet to turn 14.
Because of her young age, Haeun is LAPILLUS's youngest member. She is two years younger than the second-youngest member, which is Seowon who was born on Dec. 5, 2006.
The only other K-pop idols who debuted when they were just 13 years old (international age) are BoA and APRIL Jinsol.

Not much information is known yet about Haeun, apart from her having the zodiac sign Scorpio and being a Korean.
Meanwhile, LAPILLUS is MLD Entertainment's first girl group since debuting MOMOLAND nearly six years ago. The new act will comprise six members, namely Shana, Haeun, Seowon, Yue, Chanty, and Bessie. These girls are set to debut on the 20th of this month.
