Active C-Line Idols in K-Pop Girl Groups
While K-Pop is primarily centered in South Korea, the industry has welcomed many talented idols from diverse backgrounds. This list highlights all currently active girl group members who are confirmed to be of Chinese, Taiwanese, or Hong Kong descent, including those who are fully or partially of these nationalities.
Meaning of Active: For this list, “active” refers exclusively to idols who are currently members of a group that remains engaged in recent and consistent activities, whether through music releases or social media updates. Idols who are on hiatus are still included, while former members or those whose groups have officially disbanded are not. This list does not include soloists or trainees. This group also does not include project groups (groups that exist solely for one release or performance), live idol groups, or virtual/v-tuber groups. Groups that are based in other countries but occasionally promote in Korea (such as GENBLUE) are also not eligible.
