6 Kpop Idol Interactions That'll Make You Go "WTF! They're Friends!?"
What's the ultimatum for a kpop multi stan? Well, watching your idols form different companies interact, chat, or have the sweetest and cutest moments that'll remain forever in a fan's heart. Yes, 2020 witnessed some of the rarest idol interaction and some of them did make the fans go 'awww'. From Seventeen, NCT, BTS, Suju, and even MonstaX, the idol industry has been friends behind the curtains that is slowly getting exposed. And the fans are loving it. Here are some of the most mentioned idol interactions that'll make you go "Whoa! them? I never knew they were close!" ^-^
1. Seventeen's Hoshi and Seungkwan's video message for Suju's Leeteuk
Three days after celebrating his birthday on July 3rd, Leeteuk posted this cute video on his Instagram handle and I can bet all of Carat and Elfs went head over heels for this beautiful surprise. In this video, both Hoshi and Seungkwan gave Leeteuk their birthday wishes to him and he posted with the caption #thankyou #Seventeen #Hoshi #Seunkwane. Well,we all know that Leeteuk is loved and admired by everyone in the industry but him uploading this adorable video and giving it space on his precious SNS feed is something very rare and rememberable. This shows how SM and Pledis share a good relation and let their idols do their thing. I hope their friendship lasts long and we can soon get an SM and Pledis collab soon.
2. Monsta X's Minhyuk, April's Naeun, and NCT Jaehyun's chemistry
This trio took twitter by storm whenever they appeared. Inkigayo's best MCs so far, according to me. The fans witnessed the gradual development from the awkward beginning to how they slowly evolved out of their personal space and became the #Minahyun trend all over social media. With their hospitality as MCs and the sweet innocent friendship that they shared, everything about them has excited their fans. A sweet way to bring different fandoms together.
3. NCT's Mark and Gugudan's Kang Mina's surprising friendship

We all know Mark and Mina shared their screentime together while hosting Music Core back in 2018 and all the way to 2019. But fans didn't know that they still shared their beautiful friendship even off stage and also after a year. The fans' jaws dropped when Mark (along with his watermelon of course) went to visit Mina during their Kick It promotions at Music Core. It turned out to be Mina's farewell stage and she almost teared up when she saw Mark coming to see her off. He also cutely whined, "Why are you cryingggg?" and they brushed it off with a bro handshake (lol) probably to avoid unnecessary scandals.
4. Jessi and Mamamo's sisterhood
Jessi and Solar clicked instantly during that one Running Man episode where both of them appeared as guests on the variety show. Solar admired Jessi and Jessi too treated her like her own little sister. They looked very cute and maybe that's what lead to Solar appearing on Jessi's talk show!
Also, who can miss out on this cute girls' time Jessie had with Mamamo's Hwasa, Lee Hyori, and Uhm Jung Hwa. These girls are in talks to start their own girl group after their time spent together during MBC's show 'How do you play?'
5. PSY and BTS's V got all cuddly with each other
On 21st Oct 2020, we saw the Gangnam Style's pride aka Psy post the most endearing picture on his Instagram. Who knew the PNation's CEO was friends with BTS's visual V!? This post sure seemed like a gate to a whole new kpop world where artists are now friends with CEOs of companies and that's such a cool felx. Also, look at how V is hugging the hearts out of Psy and snuggling up to him. Uwu.
Now for the main star of the content,
6. The '97 gathering'
Though we didn't have any official pictures shared on the individuals' SNS, their silent meet was all over the news. It had happened that BTS's Jungkook, Astro's Cha Eun Woo, NCT's Jaehyun, and Seventeen's Mingyu were all seen together at the cosmopolitan dining and nightlife center - Itewon. News broke out soon about their little rendezvous the very next day and netizens all over the internet pointed out about the Covid-19 situation that was only getting worse. The idols soon got tested the very next day and were all tested negative which calmed the fans. However, their respective companies each wrote their own apologies to the press for causing such an unintended mess. Though the memory seems a little cynical, it is a known fact that these 97 liners all share a good bond that happened to meet up and often spend time together.
Hope this incident doesn't stop them from catching up together sometime in the future.
Some more honorable mentions so far are NCT's Jaehyun, Doyoung and Jungwoo went to watch the musical "The Man Who Laughs" starred by EXO's Suho. Blackpink and Selena Gomez's video call and also EXO Kai's updates with Shinee's Taemin and Vixx's Ravi are always circulating the SNS clouds.
Some more remarkable interactions that took fans' hearts away are the challenges that artists collaborated with. Every dance challenge had its special place with each comeback. Maybe my next article?
Also, Who's excited about the October comeback lineup!? The number of bops coming out in October is going to be legendary. Hope we can get to see more idol reactions this comeback season.
