[ENG SUB/SUB ESP] Story of how the Padding Squad was formed

[@zel_ni_kai_at_ken]

Original: Timoteo-Taemin-Kai-Kwonho (they are literally the best of friends) Timo brought Sungwoon Kai brought Ravi Sungwoon brought Jimin

[@devakibhagwat6146]

Kwonho is basically OG, tho He was introduced very early on and he remains an integral part of the group :')

[@zel_ni_kai_at_ken]

@@devakibhagwat6146 Yes. Kai-Kwonho-Taemin-Timo are the originals :) Then, I can say Ravi's next who joined. Then next are Sungwoon and Jimin.

[@NCTSAVEDME]

Originally its Kai who's friend with kwon ho since his still studying and trainee , then Kai introduce kwonho to Taemin , Timoteo , since Kai Taemin Timeteo are trained together , after timoteo left SM , he became one of HOTSHOT member so he met Ha Sungwoo , timoteo introduce Sungwoo to Kai Taemin Kwonho , and Sungwoo is friend with Jimin for a long time , so Sungwoo introduce Jimin to the group and TADA! they became PADDING SQUAD 😍❤

[@addisondurrence1431]

With all the lines Sungwoon added to Jimin you can tell he absolutely adores Jimin. Hard to believe Jimin is the maknae of this group actually Sort of off topic but I wanna also mention how Tae is also the maknae of his group and they treat him like a baby just this this squad. Guess everyone loves doting in their maknaes🥰

[@shineelovetinyjjong1875]

Ikr TvT. It's so precious that every group absolutely adore their maknaes. And as for Taeminnie, literally the *entire nation* can't help babying him. No wonder the SHINee hyungs, staff, dancers, managers, directors, Shawols & even Mr. Lee SooMan gave him a farewell wishes video before his enlistment TvT. We just love to treasure him~

Padding Squad??? I have been a ARMY since last year and only recently I Found Out, Exactly On 25th June?, I found Out about 2D1N and through that I got to know about RAVI. And Through Him I got To Know KAI, where kai Appeared on RAVI's KZbin Channel. I Already Knew Kai Through the song "mmmph"? And RAVI through 2D1N. And Ofcourse, our Jimin. But.. I didn't Know They Were All Connected until rn. I Found Out About This JUST NOW♥️😭 Padding Squad?? Ah! Life Unfolds in mysterious ways. ~22th AUGUST, 2022. 10:25am, Monday.

They used to go vacations together before but they are all so busy with their careers. Timo Kai Taemin Kwonho and Ravi used to spent time together beside han river since trainee day. They including ha sung woon Jimin sleepover ni Taemin parents house.

[@cashmeredelicate1373]

Timo and Ha sung woon in one group. Jimin is Taemin fan before ha sung woon introduce jimin.

[@DangersGirl4Ev]

Here’s something absolutely mind blowing that happened to me: I never paid much attention to taemin, Kai, and sungwoon bc I’ve been playing catch up with Kpop since 2021. I watched suchwita and when taemin came on I couldn’t help but to constantly think to myself- “he reminds me of Jimin… his body language, his way of speaking, and his appearance…” then Jimin came on and i was shocked the entire time they were interacting. I had 0 clue they were friends. As I was watching Kai’s performance of Rover (which was the very first time I ever saw anything related to EXO) I thought “he gives me Jimin and taemin vibes… there’s something about Kai that taps into my subconscious and screams taemin and Jimin” One day on IG reels I came across a clip where taemin and Jimin were mentioned to Kai and he said “they’re my friends” BROOO ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️ and here I am!!! Learning more!

[@nanabi5974]

yall are forgetting that sungwoon met jhope first and then he met suga through jhope and then suga introduced him to jimin him and jimin had so much in common and decided to add him into the squad :)

Because Taemin is in the squad...ha sung woon became Jimin friend fst before he introduced Jimin to the group. Jimin is Taemin fan before they become friend.
