4 cutest cross-group friendships of female K-pop idol pairs
They are not members of the same groups, but that doesn’t stop them from being close.
Besides staying close to their fellow members, many female idols also hang out with the girls outside of their groups. Not only having interactions on joint stages in front of fans, these K-pop girlfriend pairs even went on private dates with one another.
Rosé (BLACKPINK) – Chaeyoung (TWICE)
On March 15, Rosé was unexpectedly spotted on a dinner date with Chaeyoung. The two also gave their autographs to a lucky fan who ran into them.
Fans are loving this friendship of two “Chaeyoungs” as Rosé’s real Korean name is also Chaeyoung, and they seem to share many similarities such as their interest in fashion and changing hair color.
Jennie (BLACKPINK) – Irene (Red Velvet)
In February 2019, Jennie was caught on a date in Los Angeles with Irene. The two seemed to have taken some time off their overseas schedules to meet each other and have brunch.
A funny story of their date is when the bill was brought out, both Jennie and Irene wanted to pay. Jennie quickly put her credit card on the bill with a cute expression as if she was “persuading” Irene to let her pay.
Irene also took a photo of Jennie at the restaurant. This photo was later posted by Jennie on her personal Instagram.
Yeri (Red Velvet) – Taeyeon (SNSD)
Although they are 10 years old apart, Yeri and Taeyeon often make fans swoon with their sweet and intimate interactions. Red Velvet’s maknae revealed that she used to sleep over at Taeyeon’s house and play with her doggies. Everytime they’re next to each other, fans get to cherish their super adorable moments. One time at the airport, Yeri even separated from her group to walk hand in hand with Taeyeon.
During the time when netizens were worrying about Taeyeon sharing her unstable emotions on Instagram, Yeri reassured fans by posting a screenshot of her video call with Taeyeon, with the caption: “I love you”. Their lovely friendship warms fans’ hearts.
Lisa (BLACKPINK) – Minnie ((G)-ILE)
Lisa and Minnie are both from Thailand and have been close since they were trainees. After their debut, they continued to stay best friends and have hung out together many times. In October 2019, fans caught Minnie and Lisa going to WINNER’s concert together. They even wore matching necklaces.
On December 26th, 2021, Lisa and Minnie attended TWICE’s concert together. Minnie also posted about this on her Instagram story and tagged Lisa.
Lisa also showed her support for Minnie by sending a coffee truck to the set of So Not Worth It. Minnie was touched and said Lisa was her soulmate.
