C-Clown’s Maru named the new male maknae of the industry

It seems there’s a new maknae in town!

The title of the industry’s maknae was originally taken by 1996erB.A.P.‘sZelo, but with the debut ofC-Clownin July, the title has now been transferred to the group’s very own maknae,Maru.

Born on September 25th, 1997, Maru is currently 15 years old (16 in Korean). Don’t let his youthful looks fool you, though, as he was previously praised byKan Mi Yeonfor having maturity beyond his years. C-Clown had previously guested onMBC FM4U‘s ‘Kan Mi Yeon’s Close Friend‘ where it was noted that Maru was born on the same year Kan Mi Yeon had debuted underBaby V.O.X.

Kan Mi Yeon expressed,“He’s really young but his speech is clear and the way he talks makes him sound very mature. He actually seems like the oldest in the group.”

Yedang Entertainmentadded, “Maru is still going through puberty so we have to deal with a lot of problems like his skin breaking out from all of the make up he needs for TV. As he’s still young and growing, the other five members are also worried about him soon surpassing them in height.”
