Heights as listed on October 12, 2026; refreshed monthly. Almost none of these heights has been measured in public. The rows come from DabPop’s monthly ranking of the tallest male K-pop idols, which reads each idol’s height from his profile on kpopping, a fan-run database that repeats what agencies, the idols themselves or the press have put out.^[1] Who’s included: living men who are current or former members of a K-pop group, including idol bands, of any nationality and aged 18 or over; solo singers and actors are left out. Height basis: a height an idol has given himself on the record comes first, marked “Self-stated”; that puts Park Seo-ham at 193 cm and CORTIS’s Martin at 190 cm rather than their listed 192 and 193 cm.^[3]^[7] Next comes a figure reported in the Korean press, marked “Profile / press”; where sources disagree, the lower well-supported figure is used, which leaves B.A.P’s Zelo and CRAVITY’s Minhee, both listed at 190 cm, below the cut-off.^[11] Every other idol is ranked on his listed profile alone, marked “Listed profile only,” so allow a centimeter or two either way. Within a tie, checked heights come first, then names in alphabetical order. Feet-and-inch values are rounded to the nearest inch. The Nationality column is kpopping’s. The table runs to 30th place, keeping everyone tied at the cut-off: 32 idols, down to 188 cm. The table is rebuilt each month from DabPop’s refreshed list.

The Top 10

Junghyun — 195 cm

2Z, the band Junghyun plays bass in, debuted on January 14, 2020 with the EP WE Tuzi:, led by “My 1st Hero.” He had never played bass before his audition, and learned on a Charvel.^[2] The band has since played Europe and Latin America on its “GloryDayz” tour and released “Dizzy” for its sixth anniversary in January 2026.^[2] Kpopping lists him at 195 cm, but Kprofiles gives 190 and 192 cm on the same page, and no press report or interview we found settles it, so treat his place as provisional.^[1]^[2]

#2 (tie)

Park Seo-ham — 193 cm

Park Seo-ham, known in KNK as Seoham, debuted with the group in 2016 at an official 189 cm. In 2020 he said his real height was 193 cm, explaining that he had grown after his debut once he fixed his posture, and that people treat anything from 190 cm up very differently.^[3] Since leaving KNK he has worked as an actor, best known for Semantic Error. Kpopping now lists him at 192 cm; RList uses the height he gave himself.^[1]^[3]

#2 (tie)

James Lee — 193 cm

The tallest idol here from outside Korea, James Lee grew up in Los Angeles and played bass in Royal Pirates, a Korean-American rock trio that debuted in Korea in 2013.^[4] A steel door frame and glass wall that fell on him in a Seoul restaurant in June 2015 left him needing wrist surgery, and he played keyboards rather than bass on the band’s comeback, “Run Away.” Further health problems led him to leave in January 2017.^[4] His height is his kpopping listing.^[1]

#2 (tie)

Lee Deungdae — 193 cm

Redoor’s frontman and guitarist writes the band’s songs. The four-piece debuted in January 2021 and signed with AT AREA in 2024.^[5] Its 2026 run included being the only Korean act chosen for Fender Next, a set at the Pentaport Rock Festival and two sold-out nights at Olympic Hall.^[5] His 193 cm comes from kpopping and Kprofiles; the press has not printed a figure.^[1]

Minki — 192 cm

Minki was Uiyeon, lead rapper of GreatGuys, when the nine-member group debuted on August 25, 2017 with “Last Men.” The group was promoted as “tall idols,” averaging 185 cm.^[6] His contract ended in February 2024, and he came back under his real name when former members relaunched as the independent group RE:GUYS in December 2025.^[6] His 192 cm is a listed figure.^[1]

#6 (tie)

Martin — 190 cm

The leader of CORTIS had already written and produced for ILLIT, TXT, ENHYPEN and LE SSERAFIM before the BigHit Music group debuted on August 18, 2025 with “What You Want.”^[7] Its debut EP, Color Outside the Lines, sold more than a million copies, and the group was named Best New Artist at MAMA 2025.^[7] Profiles list him at 193 cm or more, but asked on Weverse he gave his height as 1.90 m, the figure RList uses.^[1]^[7]

#6 (tie)

Rowoon — 190 cm

Rowoon, an SF9 member who has led dramas such as Extraordinary You, is one of the few idols here to have given his height himself, twice: 190.5 cm on JTBC’s Idol Room, and about 190 cm from a checkup, in a Soompi interview where he also dismissed rumors that he was 193 or 196 cm.^[8]

#6 (tie)

Taewoo — 190 cm

The youngest member of g.o.d, Taewoo debuted with the group under SidusHQ on January 13, 1999 with “To Mother,” making him the longest-serving idol in this table.^[9] He did his military service from March 2007 to February 2009, released solo albums including 2013’s T-Love, and was back with all five members for g.o.d’s 15th-anniversary reunion in 2014.^[9] OSEN described him as 190 cm in 2013, the same as his listing.^[9]

#6 (tie)

Daeyoung — 190 cm

Daeyoung, born Lee Dae-young, performed as Hwalchan in GreatGuys, the DNA Entertainment group Minki also debuted in on August 25, 2017. Both left when their contracts ended in February 2024.^[6] Kpopping now lists him with RE:GUYS, the group former members relaunched in December 2025, and gives his height as 190 cm; we found no press figure.^[1]

#6 (tie)

Victor Han — 190 cm

Born in São Paulo to a Korean mother and a Brazilian father, Victor Han is often described as the first K-pop idol from Brazil. He debuted in 2018 as the drummer of the band About U and left in March 2020, after a live broadcast in which he snapped a drumstick, and has since worked on YouTube.^[10] His 190 cm is his kpopping listing.^[1]

Sourcing note: idol heights are usually set by agencies or self-reported, and profiles can be off in either direction. This ranking uses a height an idol has stated on the record wherever one exists, then a figure reported in the Korean press, and otherwise the height on his listed profile, marked as such in the table. No height on this list comes from an official measurement.
