Within the K-pop landscape, entertainment companies impose a variety of rigorous regulations on their artists. YG Entertainment, one of Korea’s leading agencies, enforces particular restrictions aimed at preventing interactions between male and female idols to deter dating. Nevertheless, many artists signed under YG have chosen to overlook these rules, maintaining strong friendships.
Lisa (BLACKPINK) and Seunghoon (WINNER)
Recently, fans have been overjoyed by Seunghoon’s Instagram posts featuring Lisa. The male idol uploaded a video of him dancing alongside Lisa to “Dancin” (Krono Remix) at the YG building, humorously adopting the nickname Leesa. Their captivating dance skills showcased in the brief 17-second clip have garnered much admiration.
In a past post from Seunghoon, the lead dancers of WINNER and BLACKPINK created a buzz on social media by performing together to Lisa‘s hit song MONEY. Their playful and lighthearted exchanges truly resonate with fans.
Defying the strict policies of YG, Lisa continues to nurture her friendship with her senior, Seunghoon. Their bond dates back to the 2017 Korea Music Festival, where they were seen enjoying a game together behind the scenes.
Jennie (BLACKPINK) and Mino (WINNER)
Within the groups BLACKPINK and WINNER, not only are Lisa and Seunghoon close, but Mino and Jennie also share a well-loved friendship. Recently, Jennie surprised Mino with a gift box from her collaboration with Gentle Monster called Jentle Garden. Mino expressed his gratitude by posting a photo of this thoughtful gift on his Instagram story and tagging Jennie, although fans quickly caught a misprint of her name in his initial post, prompting him to correct it.
Fans have often envisioned Mino and Jennie as more than just friends due to their close bond. However, many agree that their playful interactions convey more of a sibling-like relationship than a romantic one.
Moreover, the two frequently engage with each other on social media, often expressing support through posts cheering each other on during comebacks. Mino is often referred to as “the only male idol featured on Jennie‘s Instagram,” and when he held a solo concert, Jennie was there to cheer him on enthusiastically.
Rosé (BLACKPINK) and the Kwon Twins
Known for her charming and outgoing nature, Rosé easily forms friendships with a variety of people, from fellow idols to dancers. Dedicated BLACKPINK fans likely recognize Rosé‘s close connection with the Kwon Twins, as they have shared many memorable performances together, nurturing a beautiful friendship that is strengthened by their shared experiences. The Kwon Twins are drawn to her endearing personality.
Jisoo (BLACKPINK) and Seungyoon (WINNER)
Jisoo and Seungyoon have been acquainted since before BLACKPINK debuted. They shared the screen in the 2015 drama Producers, captivating audiences with their chemistry and visuals. Their cute moments onscreen have left a lasting impression, and even today, their friendship remains strong, garnering admiration from many.
2NE1 – BIGBANG
The close-knit relationships observed between WINNER and BLACKPINK evoke memories of the legendary connections between 2NE1 and BIGBANG. Back in the day, these two iconic second-generation groups often thrilled fans with their affectionate camaraderie, akin to family. Members from both BIGBANG and 2NE1 were unreserved in expressing their fondness for one another in public.
Even under the strict regulations of YG, the idols’ willingness to foster these meaningful relationships is truly commendable. Fans are left feeling a sense of warmth as they witness their idols embracing one another as if they were family.
