Long time no see, Maknae-z 💛💜

What happened

May and Zena appear together in a challenge presented as the return, “after a while,” of the group’s youngest-member pairing.

In the Korean comments

One top comment reads, in translation, “The cutesy charm of these ‘people claiming to be hot girls’—the youngest duo are cuuute.” The label 핫걸 호소인들 (hat-geol hosoindeul, “people claiming to be hot girls”) playfully casts doubt on the “hot girl” pose and contrasts it with their cuteness. The same comment then asks viewers to stream “Runaway” before the November 3 comeback. It argues that the chart resurgence of the two-year-old “Love Attack” and the remake “Pretty Girl” will not be reflected for MMA, so this year’s “Runaway” needs support instead.

What the words mean

막내즈 (maknaez, “the youngest-member crew”) combines 막내 (maknae, youngest member) with a playful Korean rendering of the English plural “-s.” Here it is an affectionate, casual label grouping May and Zena as the youngest-member duo.
