I'm not really sure in wich way u think maknaes get the advantage. It's true that the rest of the group usually takes care of the maknae meer because, well, s/he's the youngest. And as such, the maknae's the most unexperienced one (I'm not talking about artistic experience but life experience). It's pretty clear that older people can help u better because they've been trought the same thing before. I don't really know if that answered your vraag (probably not, sorry for that :D)
