GOT7 left their company together and stayed as a group. That's the strongest bond right there

[@leozackdestron1574]

Agree. Got7 always were speaking their mind to each other if there was something unconvenient for a members, and often quarreling and fighting among each other publicly, so I don't think they have any untold grudges towards each other unlike all these groups that are always cheerfuly smiling on public keeping their image, but feeling unfair inside.

This may be taboo for koreans to discuss but I'm curious. Are there lgbt couples that exist within girl groups or boy groups? Does this happen more than usual and how do they handle it?

[@sUjU91]

Tbh, I wouldn’t be surprised. Some idols grow up with each other and at times (like at YG) boys and girls can’t interact with each other. So it’s possible some would experiment or be bicurious with each other.

And I remember hearing a rumor about a gay blind item back in 2015/2016 apparently from a A list boy group 🤷‍♀️ I think there is definitely some LGBT idols but it's probably very hard for them.

[@Emma-nu7rs]

🐥💚💚

[@rainyblue1324]

Probably people who surprise they're close didn't know about them, they just know them as general. Also because every GOT7 members have strong individual charms and each of them have solo activities, that's why people not expect that they're really close to each other. But if you're their fans, you know their bond are strong, even their parents close to each others.

[@everj2jjam]

Watching vid like this and other confessions of ex-kpop idols, you will never can really conclude the relationship between the members esp off cam. What we see on screen are usually the things that they want us to see. The personality and stuff that we know about them are only a little part of who they really are. However, I still would like to point out there are also groups who seem very close and consider each other more than as colleagues, and concrete evidence for this is when the group disbands or goes to indefinite hiatus, they still see or communicate each other and can freely talk about each other. Example: SNDS [OT8], Sistar, Girl's Day [OT4],.. and most recently GOT7.

I feel like a group like blackpink is different because when it comes to wadrope, they all have a brand they are representing. When it comes to hairstyles, they all have different tastes. When it comes to parts in a song, rose & jisoo are up for d vocals, jennie & lisa for d raps. Jisoo takes lisa home & sometimes they have dinner dates with their parents. In my opinion, they just kinda work. MAMAMOO feels different too. Whee in & hwasa being friends since high school & moonbyul literally lives in solar's house

[@sUjU91]

Do you think the number of members has anything to do with it? I feel like the more members a group has, the more conflict will happen. It’s the same with friendships, like in a 3-way friendship, one will always be or feel left out.

[@pheyie]

@@sUjU91 definitely has something to do with it. Also blackpink had a very long waiting before debut. So they had time to form a friendship before work overtook their lives unlike others that they just put together after a year or two of training together. They trained together for over 4years that explains the bond

[@pheyie]

@@Samsimple104 it isn't declining, we just don't see them as we used to. They barely have activities together now. They all have various types of solo gigs. They don't live together again except they have a schedule together.

[@isabel-pd4ts]

Do idols know who other idols are dating? Is it easy to make idol friends as an idol?

[@tishaanabelleferranco7567]

I think it's about connections, like if your groupmate has a friend on the other group they can introduce you to their groupmate also and that is where they know each other. I also think like they know who are dating they just don't mind them. As what I remembered, yulhee was introduced to minhwan at the backstage of a music show and I think it is just like other idols. We don't know what is really happening at their waiting areas or backstages during music shows.

part 3 will be up next week!

[@minbeomu]

BTS had this talk in one of their movies. They mentioned how they’re so lucky that they genuinely like each other as friends, family and even colleagues. Jungkook mentioned something intriguing, he said some groups don’t even like each other or often fight. That boy knows some tea😳 They were able to stick together for nearly 8 years (debut) and with some it had been a decade (pre-debut) together. All seven have distinct and different personalities, they clashed at first. I mean what do you expect staying with the same members 24/7 in a small cramped apartment while stressing over what will happen to your future?? They were teenage boys, fights are bond to happen. But as a group they lasted long because they THOUGHT about the group first. They are so selfless and ready to hype up a member. This is why they’re so successful as well. As corny as this may sound but its the power of friendship bestie. If you constantly try to one up the other you will not be a big group. Nope. You won’t last long and your impact is none. No wonder most idol groups fail, its because the group itself does not act like a group or the company’s values are so off that competition had ruined the group before it even started. An example of a group that has stuck together for so long is Little Mix. They’re a western girl group not kpop or anything but they’ve been together for nearly 10 years, they’re still active. And guess what they thought was the most important factor in being successful and having longevity? Friendship. Guess what BTS also said that had them still together? Yes bestie its friendship and teamwork. They told TXT (tomorrow x together pronounced as tomorrow by together) that teamwork was so important. Your greed pulls down not only the group but yourself.

The only girl group that I truly believe that have a strong friendship is Twice.. In an interview they said that they preferred the rising of the group instead of the rising of specific members, so yeah it makes sense

[@joshuawong5839]

Well, TWICE have a few traditions which make it simple to avoid some of the stuff mentioned here, right? They do the majority of their stuff by age order (makeup, styling, even MV shoots), so that gets rid of the fighting over hair and makeup positions. Nayeon (the eldest) also usually takes the Verse 1 'A' part, for valid reasons of face and singing skill as well as age. (Though the younger members all claim that she's ranked #9 or #8 in the internal pecking order of authority, and she plays along with that.) And they all have extremely distinct personalities and characters, which makes it less likely for the members to overlap. So it's a combination of professionalism as well as friendship. And they each also have friends and hobbies outside the group which help to keep things balanced.

You girls are so adorable! Loved this video! It's crazy to hear all those stories, It's really sad that the competition turns some artists into divas or mean girls. Can't wait for the next video! 💗

aww thanks so much for watching! stay tuned for part 3 next week! :) 💗

[@redflamelcd]

I'm loving this inside baseball. All the inside goss. As a side note being a blink that's what I love so much about them, they're all friends, they're close, there's no backstabbing, no scheming. And it shows in the end product. I hope you guys make more content like this. Really love the insight.

[@licisjourney7307]

Business is business not everyone you meet in life you will get along with or like and that's the case with some idols and some groups energy and vibes can be easily spotted and it seems like in girl groups with so many members tensions and fights will occur on an often bases , but after a while people will accept in the end it's just business not a social call.

[@Hello_its_Me864]

My impression of kpop idols just fell to the floor and my dreams just got shattered.

[@ShaezdontlikeU]

As being a old k-pop fan I can confidently tell that there is no other gg who is confidential and close to each other like MAMAMOO they are the live example of how the friendship works there're always together having more than 3 tattoos of friendship , kissing ( on lips ) live so many times on official screen and so the list goes on ........ I wish I can get friendship like Wheesa or moonsun 😌

[@preethanadig6252]

They are good with each other..but wheein n hwasa are super close

[@Nicholi86]

The way she talks about the recordings, I have heard BTS talk about this before. So it's like this for a lot of groups.

[@julinazhang8216]

Watching this makes me really realize how precious Mamamoo’s relationship with each other is. Just too precious 😭

[@ispeakfangirl6857]

And here I thought that groups are actually close to each other.

[@tiffanykim2773]

I mean it's lots of different personalities meshing together. BTS are super close but that didn't happen overnight. Everyone has to make the effort and not everyone will want to, some people will just wanna keep it professional and that's honestly understandable.

[@aliabbaspatel3112]

Is there a deciding factor for when you’ll sing live or lip sync?

I thought it was up to the show. Singing live adds complications.

[@MC-ko2mx]

1.34 - Lots of people watched the video, because, while they follow K-Pop, they aren't doing so mindlessly. They obviously want to know more about the industry, beyond the "everything is peachy" narrative that is being pushed on them. So, thank you, to you and Gina for speaking up, and sharing your experiences.

[@peace_wise2809]

Can you tell from vlives and other interactions between a group that they are genuine friends or just for business or just can't stand each other?? I do feel certain vibes from some groups that they aren't close enough (and that's not wrong). It's hard to expect anyway.

[@BMiren-bc6ye]

Like when she said they get closer when it's over, I can't help but feel that's the case too for groups where their popularity already peaked, e.g. super successful 2nd gen groups. It's easier to get close when the sense of competition has been dulled by the camaraderie of surviving the best/worst of idol fame. SM for me has the most obvious tension and lack of real friendship at peak activity. It feels like they only learn to enjoy each other's company once the peak passed. I feel like there's a lot of internal competition there lol. JYP seems to be the one where there is greatest effort to get along between members -- leading to a very strong bond like got7 or even very strong professional bonds like 2PM, WG, MissA and, I suspect, Twice. YG, esp the younger gens, can be downright cruel to each other. I get the vibe that not only is there internal competition, there's also some favoritism from up-high. I don't doubt there are true friends there, but Idk that it's always the whole group.

MOST kpop idols are chaebols/super rich. I wonder if rich trainees really have more privileges??? Does it make them more likely to debut? Is there a difference in the company's treatment?
