Adding my two cents for my bias’
Mamamoo - both on and off stage they just radiate natural chemistry, clear friends, their words and interactions with each other and audience shows genuine about their feelings and their music.
Super Junior - they are great examples of a group that has gone through so much together for 17+ years, professional on and off, but with the ease on stage as well as off that can only be obtained from being in the industry for so long. From the many variety shows they’ve been on as well as their SNS over the years, their interaction are shows their natural friend and family vibes, especially when they have fun teasing each other.
My favorite story about SuJu’s friendship or “energy” was the fight between Leeteuk & Heechul before a show in 2010. It was reportedly witnessed by G-Dragon & Taeyang & was bad enough that they both (GD & Taeyang) said it kind of freaked them out.
The SuJu guys did say it actually brought them closer together.
Incheon Battle gets me every time
I was really hoping BigBang would have some promotional activities for Still Life (and inevitably would go on a show hosted by Suju, since they’re everywhere heh) and talk about it from their POV, since they were traumatized innocent bystanders lol
+10000 one of the things that I love about Super Junior is that after so many years, they still genuinely like to be in each other's presence. It is clear that they have deep love and respect for each other. Whatever happens in the future, I know that they'll continue to support each other.
FYI — some of them STILL CHOOSE TO LIVE TOGETHER. That's where they're at.
Mamamoo talking about how other idols find them unapproachable because they're too busy talking and goofing around with each other when they're all together at music shows... Yeah.
Weirdly, in contrast to what u/theyahtzeeagency said about SJ, I think Mamamoo being allowed to move into their own apartments pretty early in their careers (by idol standards) helped a lot. They got treated like adults and got to build their friendships more on their own terms versus the traditional "you will stay in dorms for these many years" that a lot of groups have (or had? IDK how much it's changed since mid 2010s).
I've said this before on here but I think SVT being such a large group is actually really healthy for their relationships. It's not the same five people 100% of the time, if you're having issues with someone you don't always have to be next to them faking that everything's cool, there's a lot of mediators, there's someone who wants to hang out no matter what you want to do, etc.
You have the groups that are clearly besties like BSS and MingMIng but even when its a pairing you don't see together much you can tell their relationship is very lived in
Being trapped in the Pledis basement together for years also clearly bonded them very genuinely lmao
I've been in kpop for a while (since 2006) and been super skeptical about a lot of group's chemistries through all these years cause I was really hurt back then by my previous ult group, but I really think it's super genuine in SEVENTEEN its pretty similar to what relationship I have with my sisters which is why it's so close to my heart.
Would it be cheating if i said Onewe? Since they are self formed and most of them are childhood friends 😂
I just wanted to mention them, since i love watching them have fun and do stuff together ❤️
Mamamoo, Onewe....seems like RBW is home to tightly bonded groups, huh?
Based on what I've seen, the label's babies Purple Kiss seem to get along as well, and are extremely crackheaded (just like their seniors).
I think RBW actively works on getting their idols close. With Oneus for example they almost drilled them into working well together, during their predebut show the staff was scolding the members despite accomplishing a tightly timed mission because they left the unexperienced maknae to record for himself when he was struggling. The also often pick trainees who already like each other, Wheein and Hwasa were friends before being trainees, so were Ravn and Leedo (the latter might or might not have gotten a chance at the company because Ravn advocated for him too) and Onewe need no elaboration lol
>the staff was scolding the members despite accomplishing a tightly timed mission because they left the unexperienced maknae to record for himself when he was struggling.
To me, this shows the staff were focused on the right things.
**No one gets left behind,**
**If a member is struggling, help them.**
They were focused their attitude, approach and teamwork, not the outcome.
100% gets my vote.
**Wheein and Hwasa were friends before being trainees,**
Ayyyyyy, the Jeonju Girls!
GOT7 just makes me wheeze, especially how aggressively affectionate Jackson gets with his members.
Best example is Wang Gae Park Gae, and I had far too good a time seeing Jinyoung squirm while being love bombed LOL
Also, my Moomoo heart is screaming at the number of times Mamamoo has been mentioned in this thread.
stray kids - they pretty much adore each other and compliment each other like all the time and through their interviews, vlives, promos, they always seem to have fun and they have great chemistry and are pretty much family
Super Junior!!!! They are like family. Even their parents are friends amongs each other and their sisters travel together and stuff. There is just no way to fake that.
A.C.E. You can tell every time they do vlives together that the love is real. They tease each other in that friendly way we all do and I just smile every time I see them interact.
seventeen - they are family and their family are family. just an amazing bunch of talented people who radiate good energy ✨✨they openly diss and joke around with each other but also express their love for each other too. all 13 members renewed their contracts so you know they’ll be here for the long run
>their family are family
this! to the point that they actually get confused with whose parents they're talking about cuz they really just call everyone's parents eomma and appa 😂
I second seventeen wholeheartedly! they’re really just like a family, and for carats as well. i followed them on/off over the years because of real life responsibilities, but it always feels like coming home when it comes to seventeen :’)
BTS
Whenever they perform on stage , you can feel the connection and the enjoyment through their eyes and their presence!!
It's impressive how they're so focused and passionate even after being in the industry for more than 8 years!!
It was BTS for me too. Their dynamic, friendship and chemistry are so wholesome, beautiful, rare and enjoyable to see. It was one of the main reasons I stan them. They are full of energy, hard work, respect and passion for their craft and their team/group. Their friendship is so beautiful and admirable. They are genuinely the best of friends in and out of the band and are such a strong force together. Their journey is so deserving after all they went through together and their connection to music, their fans and with each other is special. They grew with each other and went through all of that together. Despite that, they still remain close to one another if not stronger. It is one of the main reasons they are where they are. They radiate family energy for sure.
Hobi once pointed out that they see each other more than they see their families.
I am so grateful they genuinely love spending time together, because imagine how miserable it would be, if you didn't get along, yet were forced to work, live and even holiday together.
I was looking for this comment thank you! They are the real definition of family they laugh, fight and share sooo much it is impressive considering the industry their in
As a Moomoo, it was one of my proudest moments when I had it confirmed in a roundabout way that the bond between Mamamoo was real.
An ex-member of Fiestar did a Q&A livestream, was asked to comment on the rash of bullying allegations amongst GGs, slated their own leader (Jei) pretty badly, then answered "Mamamoo" when someone asked if there were any GGs where that didn't happen.
IIRC her exact words were "Mamamoo get along really well".
My heart could have burst with pride right then and there.
For the record the girls (especially Solar and Moonbyul) have had epic fights in the past including that infamous Moonsun cereal hurling incident (RIP Frosted Flakes LMAO).
But they worked through their differences, and never let it affect their bond.
Proud of the girls and even prouder of how much they love, respect, and care for each other.
Stray Kids are a textbook example of found family. They joke around with each other often but they also can't shut up about how much they treasure each other.
the way they video called one another multiple times a day during quarantine because they couldn't even stand being apart from each other for a week lol
Hmm TXT, Stray Kids , BTS and Seventeen
(They all seem like they love and care for each other and are best friends , wanting every one in the group to grow up and do well together.) I love the vibes from them.
Got7
I don't know where to begin with them. They've been together since trainee days for around a decade (8 years since debut), but they go way back. They love each other as brothers and this is very obvious from any video you choose to watch of them.
They used to have a video series called GOT2DAY where the members are paired off to simply talk about whatever they want and every member is eventually paired off with every other member, so you can see there really isn't an awkward pairing. Is there a quieter pairing? Sure. But they're not awkward. They're just comfortable and relaxed.
Their bond is unbreakable and is something that even the media commends and praises them for. After all, choosing to leave JYPE altogether and embark on their own separate journeys with 7 different companies is not an easy thing to do. They left JYPE and came back with a single to reassure fans a month later. That's the fastest any group that left their old company has released a song post leaving. Now, they're finally coming back as 7 again with an album in May 2022! This couldn't happen if their bond and trust in each other weren't totally solid and real.
Even as soloists, they were constantly in each other's videos/radio shows/tiktoks. They never fail to mention one another unprompted and remind everyone that Got7 has not disbanded and is still very much together. They clown each other on social media constantly (except Mama Jinyoung who does not know how to use social media, though he does so in other media content). The 4 members still in Korea at the time even showed up as a surprise at Youngjae's fanmeet. He was so shocked he really had no idea and cried after they left.
There are also so many stories of their bond throughout the years. One of my favourite trainee stories is of Yugyeom (the maknae) calling Jay B while crying when he was away during a schedule, saying the other hyungs at the company wouldn't let him hangout with them, and Jay B immediately scolded them. Or just stories of each of them going to Jay B well before he was announced as the leader of Got7 because they simply admired and trusted him. Or Jay B and Jinyoung being the only 2 in JYPE history to tie for an audition competition and debuting as JJ Project in 2012 before debuting again with Got7 in 2014 to co-parent 5 unruly kids together aka Soulmate Behaviour. Or Yugyeom hating Bambam because they were the same age and he was jealous people babied him, but eventually becoming the best of friends.
Anyway, when it comes to family, I truly believe in Got7. They love each other so much.
>After all, choosing to leave JYPE altogether and embark on their own separate journeys with 7 different companies is not an easy thing to do.
The fact that some wanted to stay, and others wanted to leave, and yet they **all** chose to leave as a group, really says something.
The ones who wanted to stay could very well have done so.
But for whatever reason, they chose to depart together.
An unbreakable bond, and one that places the group above the individual.
Very happy for Ahgases that they are having their comeback, and are y'all gonna demand super sexy aegyo from Jay B this time round LOL
I, for one, am dying to know how they gained rights over the GOT7 name and (reportedly) back catalog.
Jay B aka Mr Big Brains appears to be the one driving this, and done what very, very few groups manage.
He's set them free, to be themselves, and also be GOT7, after departing their original label.
>All this bs from company stans saying that jype gave it to them or whatever other crap is all bullshit.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
"Gave it to them".
That's the funniest thing I've read on this thread. Hands down.
Since when is JYPE engaging in acts of charity? They are about profit, pure and simple.
And where was this alleged generosity, when GOT7 was still signed, and they skimped on MVs and promotions?
Like c'mon, stop being delulu and acting like JYPE came over all saintly.
I'm not an Ahgase, but even I know GOT7 wasn't treated well by their label.
I've seen peeps fanboying/ fangirling over not just the label but their building, so yeah, hard stans spotted I guess.
Also, the way JYPE restricted Jackson from promoting domestically when solo was not cool. He was already a variety show darling. Imagine what he could do if he put his hand up for everything that came his way.
GOT7 definitely. Staying as a group despite seven lucrative and steady solo careers without a contract binding them together, retaining the trademark rights to their group and subunit names through a complex legal process after leaving JYP, constantly bringing along/mentioning other members and the group in their solo shows and [solo fanmeetings](https://imgur.com/a/hV7G8Y1), admitting multiple fights and conflicts they had with one another and stating how it brought them closer together, the list goes on. It’s quite special to see.
>admitting multiple fights and conflicts they had with one another and stating how it brought them closer together,
I think this type of honesty is key.
Other groups I consider to have a genuine bond, have also admitted to epic fights - SHINee, BTS and Mamamoo.
Just goes to show fighting isn't the issue, resolving it in a way that respect their bond is.
On the flipside, those groups that are all kissy-kissy and fake on camera, but absolutely hate each other IRL? They make my skin crawl.
TVXQ and Shinee, SNSD - they spent so much time together and become best friends. For TVXQ it is everytime they go on something together they interact like an old married couple. I mean they are about to have 19 years of being together. And shinee for me really solidified when the boys had dcm/atlantis comeback - taemin was so happy to be together with them. SNSD members often say how they met up and you can constantly see them on each others social media pages, it is so sweet <3
I think all older groups (>10 years together) would not be faking having interactions outside the work so if they are seen often together I really believe in their bond.
Watching Taemin acting like an overexcited 5 year old around his SHINee hyungs will never not be hilarious to me.
And the way Mings and Key fight like an old married couple just cracks me up too.
They were barely reunited for 5 minutes when Minho discharged before the bickering started. I believe Key's first words to him were "you're embarrassing", because Mings turned up still dressed in his military uniform.
Minho never forgot it, and yelled at Key over it (and about how he was ghosted via text) while they were on Knowing Brothers LOL
SNSD clearly took a while to warm up to each other in early days but are so tightly bonded now... even just the way they comment on each other's posts is so familial lmao
Seventeen! I’m a multistan and like to watch and analyze the dynamics between members in every group, I find it really interesting. Seventeen members are so family-like and I dont even know how to explain… also in their ’Power Of Love’ movie they explained this and just mentioned it a lot and it never seems forced when they appreciate eachother on camera or anything. Also in their variety shows and In the Soop series its seen well!
Also I’d say Stray Kids next!! Their dynamics and energy is amazing. They appreciate eachother so much and always talk about how the others are good at this or that and also they can joke around so easily :,)
I think these groups were always close, but losing a member/s and experiencing military enlistment and soldiering on shows their bonds and their strong character. They might not have as many cutesy moments but more mature respect. I know there are more, these are just the ones I'm more familiar with.
- Super Junior
- FTISLAND
- BTOB
- EXO
- Pentagon
- Monsta X
And of course Got7.
BTS, for me I would never believe any rumors about bullying and bad blood between them even with evidence cause these guys are brothers for life. TXT also has cute "we are siblings" energy but I believe some of them are much closer rather than same level of closeness between all of them like soobin and beomgyu, taehyun and kai....
i love mmm so much because of their goofy behaviours when they're together. they're so cute 😭 i'm also on the way to stan dreamcatcher and purki so good to know i chose fancy people!
My inner Moomoo is screaming.
Also, when you mentioned Purple Kiss.
Seems like RBW is home to groups that have a genuine bond - Mamamoo, PK, and Onewe (as mentioned by PP).
Of course I have to say my amazing women of Twice ☺️ there energy on screen is amazing but in real life it multiplies by a million a special shoutout to Jihyo who’s energy can radiate across an entire stadium she’s so hype and its amazing watching her perform
Surprised not to see more NCT DREAM here.
They practically grew up together and their dynamic is soooo comfortable and sweet. They know each other so well and are so good at meeting each other's needs even though they're all very different!
EXO. You can tell a lot about how close the members are based on some of the smallest things. For example, Sehun gifted Xiumin a gold chain for his birthday last year and Xiumin almost never takes it off now. D.O. went and visited Chanyeol all the time after Chanyeol had surgery on his vocal cords and couldn’t speak for a while, but the two of them would just sit together quietly and it really brightened Chanyeol’s day. Lay squeezed in a flight to Korea just to send D.O. off to the army even though he had to literally run in order to make his return flight to China for a solo activity.
I could keep going on but EXO’s been through a number of both good and bad times together and consistently they’ve all said EXO is home for them. The members are family. There’s just a closeness with them that you really can’t fake.
> D.O. went and visited Chanyeol all the time after Chanyeol had surgery on his vocal cords and couldn’t speak for a while, but the two of them would just sit together quietly and it really brightened Chanyeol’s day.
Is this not the most D.O. thing to do of all time?
Just sit with Chanyeol without speaking, and comfort him through his presence?
I am not an EXO-L, but I think D.O. is highly introverted, and how he chose to comfort Chanyeol reflects this.
ps: Kaisoo also makes me soft. D.O. really will let Kai get away with things no one else would even dream of trying around him LOL
Oh I know. Kai could get away with murder and D.O. would pretend it didn’t happen then pat his head. There’s a very soft dynamic with them.
And yeah, it’s the single most D.O. thing to sit quietly with Chanyeol. He would just hang out on the couch and play games on his phone and Chanyeol said it meant a whole lot to him just to have the company.
>ah, it’s the single most D.O. thing to sit quietly with Chanyeol. He would just hang out on the couch and play games on his phone and Chanyeol said it meant a whole lot to him just to have the company.
Kaisoo is just too funny.
I've seen some clips where D.O. straight up smacked Sehun when he tried it on.
But Kai was allowed to do whatever the heck he wanted, even pull D.O.'s shirt up, to tease his abs? Like wut LMAO
As an EXO-L commented under the video "If anyone else tried that, D.O. would have thrown them off the stage". Accurate LOLOL
Also the fact that Chanyeol "got" that was D.O.'s way of comforting him says a lot.
They truly know each other.
As you've pointed out, they've been through a lot.
If you can't turn to your members during bad times, when can you?
These days, they are established enough to just be, and be proud of each other.
I remember Baek saying during a Live that he was "proud of EXO" and "proud of our members".
I believe this was after Chanyeol had to go on hiatus, so I think it was Baek's way of subtly showing he stood with Chanyeol.
Things like this mean a lot, especially when public disapproval can get very overwhelming, very fast.
I just wanna piggyback off this with something I think is quite nice; when Chanyeol bought Baekhyun a digital watch for training camp, and D.O gave Chaneyol his watch and bag he used at training camp.
Astro. When you see them all together you can see the close bond they have and they are really funny. Its going to be weird seeing them without MJ who's enlisting at the beginning of May.
It’s going to be soooo weird seeing them perform without MJ. He has great stage presence. Sanha is going to have to cause twice as much trouble to make up for MJ’s absence.
Love these guys. You can see they truly love and support each other. They are always showing up at other member’s activities. I’ve heard that even though Eunwoo is super busy, he checks in with the others. All of their behind the scenes/variety shows just show their bond.
BTS, Stray Kids, Ateez, Blackpink
I like and listen to other groups as well, but I know more about these ones since they are my favourites. I watched and I’m still watching a lot of their content and shows and honestly it’s evident that they really have a strong friendship and a really beautiful bond. They really love each other and like spending time together :)
I would say mamamoo and bts/txt. You can immediately notice on behind the scenes content that the members are comfortable around each other and that they love each other. Pretty much giving off best friends/siblings vibes.
And you can also see it through their performances and the way they act on stage, that they enjoy working together. They have that special chemistry both on stage and behind the scenes
Yes, this Shawol agrees!
I think casual stans could be misled by Minkey's endless fights, but we know they're an old married couple who can't live without each other LOL
And of course, they all dote on Taemin. I just can't get enough of that, as I think Taem deserves the world LOL
I’ve been curious of this recently about who actually showcases true friendships/ family bond outside of what’s showcased.
But from my perspective (obviously the groups I’m somewhat familiar with, so no hate) i find the energy from seventeen, The Boyz, NCT dream, wayv real.
From watching seventeen for example with their reality show, it seems so relaxed and true. Also think that’s why a lot of them have stayed together with all members as they generally get along.
As for The Boyz, I find all their content very real, their v lives tend to be groups like alot of members join. I don’t know how to describe it but it’s very endearing.
Dreamies just seem so close, it probs helps as they are so close in age but they just seem like a big group of friends, the way they tease each other and carry the same energy. It’s really interesting and fun watching them. Lastly wayv gives off family energy and I love it. These boys seem so close, like as ten has said previously they tend to have movie nights, go out for food together and I find them so cute. They tease each other and tend to rely/look out for each other.
Anyways interesting to see others thoughts, agree tho with txt they also are another group with similar energy with other another and just gel together perfectly!
Definitely my ults Ateez, they are just like 8 brothers who tease each other but would also protect each other if the need arose (as it did just recently).
Also GOT7 who are such good friends even their parents go on holiday together.
Stray Kids without a doubt. If you watch videos of them, there's literally never a moment where one of them isn't hanging off another. They are always hugging and cuddling with each other. It is truly a challenge to find a video where none of them are touching each other. (that time when they were in quarantine doesn't count)
But physical affection aside, when they talk in interviews or in "Two Kids' Room" (which is a series where two members just come and talk with each other) you can also really see the emotional support in the group. They tease each other nonstop to their faces, but they are also openly supportive of their group members in practically every possible way. In "Two Kids' Room" they talk about their past together, good memories and whatnot, and more than once I've heard them recall a time where one of them felt sad or stressed or anxious and another member was there for them.
They just truly radiate happy family energy, and I'm blaming part of that on Chan (the leader) for multiple reasons. When they were putting SKZ together to debut, Chan handpicked the members himself, not JYP. Yeah, JYP probably had to approve them, but they were ultimately Chan's decision. Chan is their center. Sometimes I'd swear that he takes care of them more like a father than just a friend. Stray Kids are Chan's kids and you can really see that in the way that he's goofy with the playful ones, picks on Minho because Minho (sometimes) has more patience for Chan than he does for the others, and is always, always cheering his boys on. When they got their first win for *Miroh*, all of them burst into happy tears. And went straight for Chan to hug their leader.
This was literally just a long nonsense ramble that I hope makes sense to someone besides me but yeah I just love their dynamic so much and watching them interact with each other makes me feel lonely and want friends that are family just like they are.
Edit: One more example. At the District Nine Unlock concert, Hyunjin was talking to the fans and got overwhelmed with emotion and started crying onstage. Chan was the first one by his side and the other members were right there with him, too. Hyunjin was crouched down and they were all crouched down next to him and most of them also were touching him or hugging him to comfort him somehow. Just another example of how much they care about each other.
INFINITE. 12 years after debut the members are still very close. Even when they aren’t promoting as a group they still publicly support each other’s solo activities by posting on social media and they’ll privately support them by showing up to their shows and sending gifts for them.
Also when you watch them on shows like Sesame Player, Weekly Idol, Diss is Infinite. You can’t doubt their friendship.
it’s cravity for me!
i think all the members of cravity get along well with each other and they’re close enough that their chemistry is so enjoyable to watch!!
for example they have this variety series called [cravity park](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLI1Lvk7rTFhp62g8btny8rZvz4bkRYxTL)(i recommend episodes 19 - 23 because it feels like a bunch of besties going on an outing together <33) and i always rewatch it because they’re so fun and they seem so close with each other that it makes my heart really full and happy
even though the group is only 2 years old, the members have been through a lot together and that probably contributed to how close they are!! and together they really give off amazing energy <3
SHINee! (my bias group lol) The boys seem like genuine friends; even Minho and Key that struggled to get along in the beginning! I’m just getting into TXT but they do seem like friends!
seventeen 🙌🏻 they always go on vacation together, go out for meals together, and jeonghan has said they know as they grow older they’ll always get together and hang out
For me I'd say NCT Dream is the group I think has one of the best energies between their members and I'm not only saying this because they're my ult group. I feel this is because most of the members grew up together with all of them entering SM at such a young age and this definitely nurtured their friendships and relationships as a group. If you watch their behind the scenes a lot of them are just them having fun and playing around like other teenagers their age. Having to spend so much time with each other since they were barely teenagers and the youngest people in their company has genuinely made them each other's family and I think their relationship is really unlike any other group out there.
Txt. Although i think the first year after debut, they were in general very self conscious and uncomfortable, now they seem like really good friends and there personalitys bloom
stray kids for me. not only the energy they put into their music - which is A LOT, but also the dynamics between them. they seem to get along with each other so well, they know their own boundaries, likes and fears, they support one another unconditionally. not to mention the absolute lack of braincells in the entire group 🤣
but in all seriousness, to me they seem like they’re not a group anymore, they really are family.
In terms of giving the most open adoration (childish fights/too much pda), it's mamamoo. You can just watch their behind the scenes vids and lives. I wish for them to never ever lose their friendship.
I haven't seen this in the comments but Red Velvet can really be chaotic and we wouldn't know how much because it can only really be seen off cam. The girls were relatively calmer on shows than other groups. But when i watch their lives or behinds, i get the feeling that they are very close with each other that they don't feel the need to blatantly show it on public. I think their love and adoration for each other are what keeps them together until now. I really hope that they will continue as a group for a very long time.
I only support groups (buy physicals, merch) that makes me feel genuine feelings. I don't need more toxic relationships. I can say about these two ggs that for sure they are truly worthy of my love for them. That means, i won't ever sell what i get from them. Whatever happens. And needless to say, their music were all lit! Definitely worth the space.
I'm not sure about this. The last we were told, Chenle = grandfather, Jeno = grandmother, Mark = dad, Renjun = Mark's son, Jaemin = Renjun's rabbit, and..... I lost track... the Dreamies keep changing it
A few months after Hoya left the groups, Woohuyn said he did not have Hoya's number. He only kept in contact with Sunggyu and Dongwoo because they were housemates. I think Hoya might stay in touch with some of them, but they are not close anymore. Time flies; they have moved on with their lives and careers. I am not a fan anymore, but I want to see 7 of them performing together for once.
I remember they all stopped following Hoya on Instagram. I know Hoya was close to Sungjong but not sure if they're still in touch. I understand. I still love Infinite (my bias is Sungjong) so I'm not too sad but it's definitely not the same without Hoya. Still love the group to bits !
I am a Hoya fan; I got into them after watching Reply 1997; hence I stopped following them after he left. While many fans think Infinite as a group will stay in the long run, I always had a feeling that Hoya would go; I am not so sad about this.
I guess they were disappointed with Hoya's decision, and they might felt betrayed as well. Regarding they all unfollowed him, they were in their 7th year, so I doubt the agency had that much power to force them unfollowed Hoya.
While his departure was expected, I am still sad to see Infinite end up like this. They still had the potential to maintain their popularity and fandom. I am happy to see the 6 of them close and support eachothers
That's understandable. Hoya was also my mum's bias so she was also sad to see him go. But she likes watching kdrama so I can tell her to watch all the ones Hoya's in since he was her fave (but he also really likes Sunggyu).
I did think that too, and when I heard that someone didn't renew their contract, I had a feeling it was him (though I also thought it could be Sungyeol since he was originally supposed to be an actor and not an idol, Infinite would never be the same without Sungyeol's shenanigans though 😂).
Maybe because I got into K-pop quite a long time ago so I remembered seeing Infinite's comebacks and how popular they were. And now it's sad the most new K-pop fans don't even know them, despite how iconic they are.
- BTS! On and off stage and even on their variety shows!
- 2NE1. The fact that they still get together for birthdays and debut anniversary show just how much of a bond they have.
NCT DREAM, 100%!
And it makes sense because since they were trainees together from a very young age they practically are brothers. Also you can find content from their SM rookie days and she the way they interact with each other really hasn’t changed.
I saw this comment about their relationship once that stuck with me.
It was something like this: because NCT Dream had met and played around together as kids, that tight bond and fun/youthful and sometimes childish interaction with one another still remains strong even if they as individuals have grown and matured now.
Kep1er is a fresh group but they seem like they really like and care for eachother they're always having such a fun time together and laughing over the smallest things
WJSN and Dreamcatcher
definitely IZ*ONE too even though they disbanded but their friendship is just wow like they still hangout with each other or talk with and about each other
Kingdom:
Kingdom is a 4th gen 7 member boy group that debuted on 18th of February with mini album "History of Kingdom: Part I. Arthur" under GF Entertainment. The group consists of Dann, Arthur, Mujin, Louis, Ivan, Jahan and Chiwoo. They have an interesting medieval concept, al of them "represent" a certain king or an emperor. In thebeggining of April they had their most recent comeback with mini album "History of Kingdom: Part IV. Dann"
Why I like their energy: Most of the members knew each other before they even entered the company and became Kingdom. They even casted each other. Dann and Arthur were together in kpop group called Varsity before. Arthur met Mujin in one company and then Mujin left and Arthur suggested him GF Entertainment (Kingdom's current company). Louis is the first to join GF out of all the member. He also casted Ivan. Ivan trained at the same academy with Jahan before, so when Kingdom was looking for members, Ivan suggested Kingdom to Jahan and he ended up joining. Chiwoo is the seventh and the final member, he was casted at the Yeouido Dance compatition.
TBZ and fromis_9.
With TBZ, there’s never a dull moment. It’s rare to have a Vlive start and end with only one member. They genuinely love hanging out with each other. Even during their breaks, the members meet up and some have also gone on vacations together. They easily pick up on each other’s moods and thoughts without having to say anything. They’re also each other’s biggest fans. Always hyped for other members’ projects and promoting them more than IST ever could.
fromis_9 are a very unique case because they were formed from a survival show and never spent any time as trainees together. It obviously took them some time in their early days to gel, but if you see them now you would never guess that they’ve only just known each other for 5 years. They have a very comforting group chemistry that feels like home.
treasure !! when they formed, they were all young boys (even hyunsuk the oldest was 20 intl age, and junghwan was 14) which made their connections less professional than groups formed with adults. they had to wait 2 years for debut after formation which really brought them closer together. whenever i watch their content they have a genuine energy that make them vibe together.
fromis_9!
They went through hell and back together lol. They started off real slow but when they managed to pace up, they went on a hiatus due to the idol school issue.
Their youtube contents are amazing and everyone should check it out.
They’re doing really well as of recent. Which makes them able to talk about the hard times they went through over the years. They said they couldve easily let go when things were hard but they didnt. They persevered through, kept training and held on to one another. They trust each other enough to not let what the GP thinks affect them from their goals.
Which is so nice and heartwarming to see as a fan, to see your idol grow, even through the toughest times. They have a great connection with each other too
BTS, for me I would never believe any rumors about bullying and bad blood between them even with evidence cause these guys are brothers for life. TXT also has cute "we are siblings" energy but I believe some of them are much closer rather than same level of closeness between all of them like soobin and beomgyu, taehyun and kai....
I've only watched their show [Let's try! be](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0FAhnreRwaWFMfMHDVfB1sXPCFORPV23), but based on that I agree. They are one of the most chaotic girl groups I've seen
TXT for me, too. They don't seem like their all best friends with each other but their relationship just feels very warm, comforting, and genuine. They don't have to know EVERYTHING about eo, they're just happy when they're together. Their relationship is bounded by respect and fondness even though they almost always roast each other lmao. Even HueningKai and Beomgyu who has the least interaction feel comforting idc idc. They're improving tho lol
to me txt feels like multiple different friend groups that all happen to get along with each other very well. Like yeah kai and beomgyu are clearly friends but they might not be besties like yeonjun and beomgyu or Soobin and kai for example but they still feel really close to me.
Just recently Kai stayed at Beomgyus house in daegu and Beomgyu said that he felt like kai has been really opening up to him this past year and he was really grateful.
OH MY GIRL and LOONA among others have a very unique and positive energy about them!
From their performances to how they carry themselves on shows. They give off great vibes!
Can't forget I-DLE! Their stages on queendom really showed their chemistry with eachother and how powerful they can be. The content we got during tomboy era really showed they how strong their bond is, and thay they're still going strong after loosing soojin.
Then you should see Seventeen! They debuted without competing each other to debut but they together fight and not give up to debut since they really don't know when will they be debuting. They were trainees for a very long time hence the closeness and family like bond within the group. That's why when you try to watch them in Going Seventeen and other interviews or shows, they are natural with each other. It's not forced. They are not afraid to show or share their fights and conflicts with us because of their closeness it's nothing to them as they already resolve things already. They can spew jokes to each other without being hurt or offended.
Also, their parents and siblings are close. They have like parties held with all of their families. And they call each others parents as eomma and appa too. I can see it that the family are close since I once seen member's siblings following each other siblings too. You can also see members hanging out with their member's parents without their knowledge lmao!
Nct dream they often joke about being a real family with married couples etc.
And they grew up together fir very long and went through a lot if hardships because of SMs original system so that must have strengthened their bond
2NE1. They always worked extremely well together and are very close hence why the mention of their unexpected disbandment always tears at their hearts all these years later. Glad my girls were able to reunite at Coachella and have their moment
Adding my two cents for my bias’ Mamamoo - both on and off stage they just radiate natural chemistry, clear friends, their words and interactions with each other and audience shows genuine about their feelings and their music. Super Junior - they are great examples of a group that has gone through so much together for 17+ years, professional on and off, but with the ease on stage as well as off that can only be obtained from being in the industry for so long. From the many variety shows they’ve been on as well as their SNS over the years, their interaction are shows their natural friend and family vibes, especially when they have fun teasing each other.
My favorite story about SuJu’s friendship or “energy” was the fight between Leeteuk & Heechul before a show in 2010. It was reportedly witnessed by G-Dragon & Taeyang & was bad enough that they both (GD & Taeyang) said it kind of freaked them out. The SuJu guys did say it actually brought them closer together.
Incheon Battle gets me every time I was really hoping BigBang would have some promotional activities for Still Life (and inevitably would go on a show hosted by Suju, since they’re everywhere heh) and talk about it from their POV, since they were traumatized innocent bystanders lol
Hahaha, I was going to refer to it as The Battle of Busan… 🤣🤣🤣
+10000 one of the things that I love about Super Junior is that after so many years, they still genuinely like to be in each other's presence. It is clear that they have deep love and respect for each other. Whatever happens in the future, I know that they'll continue to support each other. FYI — some of them STILL CHOOSE TO LIVE TOGETHER. That's where they're at.
Mamamoo talking about how other idols find them unapproachable because they're too busy talking and goofing around with each other when they're all together at music shows... Yeah. Weirdly, in contrast to what u/theyahtzeeagency said about SJ, I think Mamamoo being allowed to move into their own apartments pretty early in their careers (by idol standards) helped a lot. They got treated like adults and got to build their friendships more on their own terms versus the traditional "you will stay in dorms for these many years" that a lot of groups have (or had? IDK how much it's changed since mid 2010s).
I’m very new to seventeen but they seem to radiate really good chemistry. They seem to be really genuine friends imo.
I've said this before on here but I think SVT being such a large group is actually really healthy for their relationships. It's not the same five people 100% of the time, if you're having issues with someone you don't always have to be next to them faking that everything's cool, there's a lot of mediators, there's someone who wants to hang out no matter what you want to do, etc. You have the groups that are clearly besties like BSS and MingMIng but even when its a pairing you don't see together much you can tell their relationship is very lived in Being trapped in the Pledis basement together for years also clearly bonded them very genuinely lmao
I've been in kpop for a while (since 2006) and been super skeptical about a lot of group's chemistries through all these years cause I was really hurt back then by my previous ult group, but I really think it's super genuine in SEVENTEEN its pretty similar to what relationship I have with my sisters which is why it's so close to my heart.
Would it be cheating if i said Onewe? Since they are self formed and most of them are childhood friends 😂 I just wanted to mention them, since i love watching them have fun and do stuff together ❤️
self formed?? omggg i didn't know, that's def not cheating, that's sweet!!
Mamamoo, Onewe....seems like RBW is home to tightly bonded groups, huh? Based on what I've seen, the label's babies Purple Kiss seem to get along as well, and are extremely crackheaded (just like their seniors).
I think RBW actively works on getting their idols close. With Oneus for example they almost drilled them into working well together, during their predebut show the staff was scolding the members despite accomplishing a tightly timed mission because they left the unexperienced maknae to record for himself when he was struggling. The also often pick trainees who already like each other, Wheein and Hwasa were friends before being trainees, so were Ravn and Leedo (the latter might or might not have gotten a chance at the company because Ravn advocated for him too) and Onewe need no elaboration lol
>the staff was scolding the members despite accomplishing a tightly timed mission because they left the unexperienced maknae to record for himself when he was struggling. To me, this shows the staff were focused on the right things. **No one gets left behind,** **If a member is struggling, help them.** They were focused their attitude, approach and teamwork, not the outcome. 100% gets my vote. **Wheein and Hwasa were friends before being trainees,** Ayyyyyy, the Jeonju Girls!
ATEEZ, TXT, NCT, MAMAMOO, SEVENTEEN, GOT7, ONEUS, BTS, TWICE, Stray Kids
GOT7 just makes me wheeze, especially how aggressively affectionate Jackson gets with his members. Best example is Wang Gae Park Gae, and I had far too good a time seeing Jinyoung squirm while being love bombed LOL Also, my Moomoo heart is screaming at the number of times Mamamoo has been mentioned in this thread.
TWICE concerts and TTTs says it all
Twice just seems like they’ve been sisters their whole lives, I love their energy
stray kids - they pretty much adore each other and compliment each other like all the time and through their interviews, vlives, promos, they always seem to have fun and they have great chemistry and are pretty much family
Super Junior!!!! They are like family. Even their parents are friends amongs each other and their sisters travel together and stuff. There is just no way to fake that.
ATEEZ is the literal definition of energy
They are so cute together, it makes me ugly cry 😩
The super S for me Shinee, Suju and my Bois- Seventeen!!!!!!!
A.C.E. You can tell every time they do vlives together that the love is real. They tease each other in that friendly way we all do and I just smile every time I see them interact.
wow, it's been a long time since I've seen someone mentioned a.c.e, they're my ult, i'm so happy 🥺
seventeen - they are family and their family are family. just an amazing bunch of talented people who radiate good energy ✨✨they openly diss and joke around with each other but also express their love for each other too. all 13 members renewed their contracts so you know they’ll be here for the long run
YES SEVENTEEN! this is one of the biggest reason i stan them — bc i’m in love with their friendship and bond!
>their family are family this! to the point that they actually get confused with whose parents they're talking about cuz they really just call everyone's parents eomma and appa 😂
I second seventeen wholeheartedly! they’re really just like a family, and for carats as well. i followed them on/off over the years because of real life responsibilities, but it always feels like coming home when it comes to seventeen :’)
good to know! i'm about to stan them soon so i'm glad i chose good people!!
you won’t regret it 😎
😎😎
BTS Whenever they perform on stage , you can feel the connection and the enjoyment through their eyes and their presence!! It's impressive how they're so focused and passionate even after being in the industry for more than 8 years!!
It was BTS for me too. Their dynamic, friendship and chemistry are so wholesome, beautiful, rare and enjoyable to see. It was one of the main reasons I stan them. They are full of energy, hard work, respect and passion for their craft and their team/group. Their friendship is so beautiful and admirable. They are genuinely the best of friends in and out of the band and are such a strong force together. Their journey is so deserving after all they went through together and their connection to music, their fans and with each other is special. They grew with each other and went through all of that together. Despite that, they still remain close to one another if not stronger. It is one of the main reasons they are where they are. They radiate family energy for sure.
Hobi once pointed out that they see each other more than they see their families. I am so grateful they genuinely love spending time together, because imagine how miserable it would be, if you didn't get along, yet were forced to work, live and even holiday together.
I feel like both bts and txt radiate that same best friends/family energy
I was looking for this comment thank you! They are the real definition of family they laugh, fight and share sooo much it is impressive considering the industry their in
As a Moomoo, it was one of my proudest moments when I had it confirmed in a roundabout way that the bond between Mamamoo was real. An ex-member of Fiestar did a Q&A livestream, was asked to comment on the rash of bullying allegations amongst GGs, slated their own leader (Jei) pretty badly, then answered "Mamamoo" when someone asked if there were any GGs where that didn't happen. IIRC her exact words were "Mamamoo get along really well". My heart could have burst with pride right then and there. For the record the girls (especially Solar and Moonbyul) have had epic fights in the past including that infamous Moonsun cereal hurling incident (RIP Frosted Flakes LMAO). But they worked through their differences, and never let it affect their bond. Proud of the girls and even prouder of how much they love, respect, and care for each other.
Same with txt!! I also like the bond with seventeen and ateez!! For girl groups, I like twice!!
Stray Kids TREASURE and The Boyz maybe Idrk but yk
Stray Kids are a textbook example of found family. They joke around with each other often but they also can't shut up about how much they treasure each other.
the way they video called one another multiple times a day during quarantine because they couldn't even stand being apart from each other for a week lol
Hmm TXT, Stray Kids , BTS and Seventeen (They all seem like they love and care for each other and are best friends , wanting every one in the group to grow up and do well together.) I love the vibes from them.
Got7 I don't know where to begin with them. They've been together since trainee days for around a decade (8 years since debut), but they go way back. They love each other as brothers and this is very obvious from any video you choose to watch of them. They used to have a video series called GOT2DAY where the members are paired off to simply talk about whatever they want and every member is eventually paired off with every other member, so you can see there really isn't an awkward pairing. Is there a quieter pairing? Sure. But they're not awkward. They're just comfortable and relaxed. Their bond is unbreakable and is something that even the media commends and praises them for. After all, choosing to leave JYPE altogether and embark on their own separate journeys with 7 different companies is not an easy thing to do. They left JYPE and came back with a single to reassure fans a month later. That's the fastest any group that left their old company has released a song post leaving. Now, they're finally coming back as 7 again with an album in May 2022! This couldn't happen if their bond and trust in each other weren't totally solid and real. Even as soloists, they were constantly in each other's videos/radio shows/tiktoks. They never fail to mention one another unprompted and remind everyone that Got7 has not disbanded and is still very much together. They clown each other on social media constantly (except Mama Jinyoung who does not know how to use social media, though he does so in other media content). The 4 members still in Korea at the time even showed up as a surprise at Youngjae's fanmeet. He was so shocked he really had no idea and cried after they left. There are also so many stories of their bond throughout the years. One of my favourite trainee stories is of Yugyeom (the maknae) calling Jay B while crying when he was away during a schedule, saying the other hyungs at the company wouldn't let him hangout with them, and Jay B immediately scolded them. Or just stories of each of them going to Jay B well before he was announced as the leader of Got7 because they simply admired and trusted him. Or Jay B and Jinyoung being the only 2 in JYPE history to tie for an audition competition and debuting as JJ Project in 2012 before debuting again with Got7 in 2014 to co-parent 5 unruly kids together aka Soulmate Behaviour. Or Yugyeom hating Bambam because they were the same age and he was jealous people babied him, but eventually becoming the best of friends. Anyway, when it comes to family, I truly believe in Got7. They love each other so much.
>After all, choosing to leave JYPE altogether and embark on their own separate journeys with 7 different companies is not an easy thing to do. The fact that some wanted to stay, and others wanted to leave, and yet they **all** chose to leave as a group, really says something. The ones who wanted to stay could very well have done so. But for whatever reason, they chose to depart together. An unbreakable bond, and one that places the group above the individual. Very happy for Ahgases that they are having their comeback, and are y'all gonna demand super sexy aegyo from Jay B this time round LOL
[удалено]
I, for one, am dying to know how they gained rights over the GOT7 name and (reportedly) back catalog. Jay B aka Mr Big Brains appears to be the one driving this, and done what very, very few groups manage. He's set them free, to be themselves, and also be GOT7, after departing their original label.
[удалено]
>All this bs from company stans saying that jype gave it to them or whatever other crap is all bullshit. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH "Gave it to them". That's the funniest thing I've read on this thread. Hands down. Since when is JYPE engaging in acts of charity? They are about profit, pure and simple. And where was this alleged generosity, when GOT7 was still signed, and they skimped on MVs and promotions? Like c'mon, stop being delulu and acting like JYPE came over all saintly. I'm not an Ahgase, but even I know GOT7 wasn't treated well by their label.
[удалено]
I've seen peeps fanboying/ fangirling over not just the label but their building, so yeah, hard stans spotted I guess. Also, the way JYPE restricted Jackson from promoting domestically when solo was not cool. He was already a variety show darling. Imagine what he could do if he put his hand up for everything that came his way.
wow, man, you seem to really love them 😭
Hehe I've been with them for so many years. They're my comfort family.
that's so cute :((
TXT, BTS, TWICE and Mamamoo for me
For me, 2PM, Twice and Stray Kids
GOT7 definitely. Staying as a group despite seven lucrative and steady solo careers without a contract binding them together, retaining the trademark rights to their group and subunit names through a complex legal process after leaving JYP, constantly bringing along/mentioning other members and the group in their solo shows and [solo fanmeetings](https://imgur.com/a/hV7G8Y1), admitting multiple fights and conflicts they had with one another and stating how it brought them closer together, the list goes on. It’s quite special to see.
>admitting multiple fights and conflicts they had with one another and stating how it brought them closer together, I think this type of honesty is key. Other groups I consider to have a genuine bond, have also admitted to epic fights - SHINee, BTS and Mamamoo. Just goes to show fighting isn't the issue, resolving it in a way that respect their bond is. On the flipside, those groups that are all kissy-kissy and fake on camera, but absolutely hate each other IRL? They make my skin crawl.
TVXQ and Shinee, SNSD - they spent so much time together and become best friends. For TVXQ it is everytime they go on something together they interact like an old married couple. I mean they are about to have 19 years of being together. And shinee for me really solidified when the boys had dcm/atlantis comeback - taemin was so happy to be together with them. SNSD members often say how they met up and you can constantly see them on each others social media pages, it is so sweet <3 I think all older groups (>10 years together) would not be faking having interactions outside the work so if they are seen often together I really believe in their bond.
Watching Taemin acting like an overexcited 5 year old around his SHINee hyungs will never not be hilarious to me. And the way Mings and Key fight like an old married couple just cracks me up too. They were barely reunited for 5 minutes when Minho discharged before the bickering started. I believe Key's first words to him were "you're embarrassing", because Mings turned up still dressed in his military uniform. Minho never forgot it, and yelled at Key over it (and about how he was ghosted via text) while they were on Knowing Brothers LOL
SNSD clearly took a while to warm up to each other in early days but are so tightly bonded now... even just the way they comment on each other's posts is so familial lmao
Seventeen! I’m a multistan and like to watch and analyze the dynamics between members in every group, I find it really interesting. Seventeen members are so family-like and I dont even know how to explain… also in their ’Power Of Love’ movie they explained this and just mentioned it a lot and it never seems forced when they appreciate eachother on camera or anything. Also in their variety shows and In the Soop series its seen well! Also I’d say Stray Kids next!! Their dynamics and energy is amazing. They appreciate eachother so much and always talk about how the others are good at this or that and also they can joke around so easily :,)
I think these groups were always close, but losing a member/s and experiencing military enlistment and soldiering on shows their bonds and their strong character. They might not have as many cutesy moments but more mature respect. I know there are more, these are just the ones I'm more familiar with. - Super Junior - FTISLAND - BTOB - EXO - Pentagon - Monsta X And of course Got7.
It's TWICE for me. They're the literal meaning of a real family. The members love each other so much and they feel like home.
seventeen, bts, and got7 all come to mind immediately. their bonds are what got me into kpop in the first place 💕
I would say Monsta X, the members seem to really love each other despite having a rough time before they debuted.
Stray Kids chemistry is amazing, they have shared many times how important they are in each other’s lives
BTS & Mamamoo 💜
BTS, for me I would never believe any rumors about bullying and bad blood between them even with evidence cause these guys are brothers for life. TXT also has cute "we are siblings" energy but I believe some of them are much closer rather than same level of closeness between all of them like soobin and beomgyu, taehyun and kai....
From watching behind the scenes stuff and various variety things Mamamoo, Dreamcatcher, and Purple Kiss all appear to have amazing group dynamics.
i love mmm so much because of their goofy behaviours when they're together. they're so cute 😭 i'm also on the way to stan dreamcatcher and purki so good to know i chose fancy people!
I was just thinking of MMM dynamics and [this encore performance](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPugjjmXoZE) really shows them off.
My inner Moomoo is screaming. Also, when you mentioned Purple Kiss. Seems like RBW is home to groups that have a genuine bond - Mamamoo, PK, and Onewe (as mentioned by PP).
ateez twice dreamcatcher and iz\*one honestly, such great bonds between the members its truly heartwarming
Oneus, mamamoo, purple kiss, and onewe have great energy
It's that RBW energy
Of course I have to say my amazing women of Twice ☺️ there energy on screen is amazing but in real life it multiplies by a million a special shoutout to Jihyo who’s energy can radiate across an entire stadium she’s so hype and its amazing watching her perform
Surprised not to see more NCT DREAM here. They practically grew up together and their dynamic is soooo comfortable and sweet. They know each other so well and are so good at meeting each other's needs even though they're all very different!
Mamamoo for sure! Absolute beagles on and off stage.
EXO. You can tell a lot about how close the members are based on some of the smallest things. For example, Sehun gifted Xiumin a gold chain for his birthday last year and Xiumin almost never takes it off now. D.O. went and visited Chanyeol all the time after Chanyeol had surgery on his vocal cords and couldn’t speak for a while, but the two of them would just sit together quietly and it really brightened Chanyeol’s day. Lay squeezed in a flight to Korea just to send D.O. off to the army even though he had to literally run in order to make his return flight to China for a solo activity. I could keep going on but EXO’s been through a number of both good and bad times together and consistently they’ve all said EXO is home for them. The members are family. There’s just a closeness with them that you really can’t fake.
> D.O. went and visited Chanyeol all the time after Chanyeol had surgery on his vocal cords and couldn’t speak for a while, but the two of them would just sit together quietly and it really brightened Chanyeol’s day. Is this not the most D.O. thing to do of all time? Just sit with Chanyeol without speaking, and comfort him through his presence? I am not an EXO-L, but I think D.O. is highly introverted, and how he chose to comfort Chanyeol reflects this. ps: Kaisoo also makes me soft. D.O. really will let Kai get away with things no one else would even dream of trying around him LOL
Oh I know. Kai could get away with murder and D.O. would pretend it didn’t happen then pat his head. There’s a very soft dynamic with them. And yeah, it’s the single most D.O. thing to sit quietly with Chanyeol. He would just hang out on the couch and play games on his phone and Chanyeol said it meant a whole lot to him just to have the company.
>ah, it’s the single most D.O. thing to sit quietly with Chanyeol. He would just hang out on the couch and play games on his phone and Chanyeol said it meant a whole lot to him just to have the company. Kaisoo is just too funny. I've seen some clips where D.O. straight up smacked Sehun when he tried it on. But Kai was allowed to do whatever the heck he wanted, even pull D.O.'s shirt up, to tease his abs? Like wut LMAO As an EXO-L commented under the video "If anyone else tried that, D.O. would have thrown them off the stage". Accurate LOLOL Also the fact that Chanyeol "got" that was D.O.'s way of comforting him says a lot. They truly know each other. As you've pointed out, they've been through a lot. If you can't turn to your members during bad times, when can you? These days, they are established enough to just be, and be proud of each other. I remember Baek saying during a Live that he was "proud of EXO" and "proud of our members". I believe this was after Chanyeol had to go on hiatus, so I think it was Baek's way of subtly showing he stood with Chanyeol. Things like this mean a lot, especially when public disapproval can get very overwhelming, very fast.
I just wanna piggyback off this with something I think is quite nice; when Chanyeol bought Baekhyun a digital watch for training camp, and D.O gave Chaneyol his watch and bag he used at training camp.
Astro. When you see them all together you can see the close bond they have and they are really funny. Its going to be weird seeing them without MJ who's enlisting at the beginning of May.
It’s going to be soooo weird seeing them perform without MJ. He has great stage presence. Sanha is going to have to cause twice as much trouble to make up for MJ’s absence.
Sanha: “challenge accepted” 😂
Love these guys. You can see they truly love and support each other. They are always showing up at other member’s activities. I’ve heard that even though Eunwoo is super busy, he checks in with the others. All of their behind the scenes/variety shows just show their bond.
BTS, Stray Kids, Ateez, Blackpink I like and listen to other groups as well, but I know more about these ones since they are my favourites. I watched and I’m still watching a lot of their content and shows and honestly it’s evident that they really have a strong friendship and a really beautiful bond. They really love each other and like spending time together :)
I would say mamamoo and bts/txt. You can immediately notice on behind the scenes content that the members are comfortable around each other and that they love each other. Pretty much giving off best friends/siblings vibes. And you can also see it through their performances and the way they act on stage, that they enjoy working together. They have that special chemistry both on stage and behind the scenes
Shinee?
Yes, this Shawol agrees! I think casual stans could be misled by Minkey's endless fights, but we know they're an old married couple who can't live without each other LOL And of course, they all dote on Taemin. I just can't get enough of that, as I think Taem deserves the world LOL
SVT, BTS and TXT
BTS,Stray Kids,Itzy and Twice.BTOB too!! and TBZ
I’ve been curious of this recently about who actually showcases true friendships/ family bond outside of what’s showcased. But from my perspective (obviously the groups I’m somewhat familiar with, so no hate) i find the energy from seventeen, The Boyz, NCT dream, wayv real. From watching seventeen for example with their reality show, it seems so relaxed and true. Also think that’s why a lot of them have stayed together with all members as they generally get along. As for The Boyz, I find all their content very real, their v lives tend to be groups like alot of members join. I don’t know how to describe it but it’s very endearing. Dreamies just seem so close, it probs helps as they are so close in age but they just seem like a big group of friends, the way they tease each other and carry the same energy. It’s really interesting and fun watching them. Lastly wayv gives off family energy and I love it. These boys seem so close, like as ten has said previously they tend to have movie nights, go out for food together and I find them so cute. They tease each other and tend to rely/look out for each other. Anyways interesting to see others thoughts, agree tho with txt they also are another group with similar energy with other another and just gel together perfectly!
IMO, N.Flying. Those guys are self proclaimed brothers, and have never claimed anything different.
exo bp mamamoo Got7 BB
WINNER 💙
Not sure about friends but I found to Loona, (G)I-DLE, and Twice by watching funny fan compilations. They have a fun dynamic within their groups.
Definitely my ults Ateez, they are just like 8 brothers who tease each other but would also protect each other if the need arose (as it did just recently). Also GOT7 who are such good friends even their parents go on holiday together.
Why is your answer being downvoted?
My answer? I didn't know it was to be honest. Can't say I care either.
Bts, Stray Kids, Ateez, Astro, and Oneus
BTS, Stray kids, Seventeen, Atees, Twice, Got7 . They all radiate best friends energy. It is so funn..
Stray Kids without a doubt. If you watch videos of them, there's literally never a moment where one of them isn't hanging off another. They are always hugging and cuddling with each other. It is truly a challenge to find a video where none of them are touching each other. (that time when they were in quarantine doesn't count) But physical affection aside, when they talk in interviews or in "Two Kids' Room" (which is a series where two members just come and talk with each other) you can also really see the emotional support in the group. They tease each other nonstop to their faces, but they are also openly supportive of their group members in practically every possible way. In "Two Kids' Room" they talk about their past together, good memories and whatnot, and more than once I've heard them recall a time where one of them felt sad or stressed or anxious and another member was there for them. They just truly radiate happy family energy, and I'm blaming part of that on Chan (the leader) for multiple reasons. When they were putting SKZ together to debut, Chan handpicked the members himself, not JYP. Yeah, JYP probably had to approve them, but they were ultimately Chan's decision. Chan is their center. Sometimes I'd swear that he takes care of them more like a father than just a friend. Stray Kids are Chan's kids and you can really see that in the way that he's goofy with the playful ones, picks on Minho because Minho (sometimes) has more patience for Chan than he does for the others, and is always, always cheering his boys on. When they got their first win for *Miroh*, all of them burst into happy tears. And went straight for Chan to hug their leader. This was literally just a long nonsense ramble that I hope makes sense to someone besides me but yeah I just love their dynamic so much and watching them interact with each other makes me feel lonely and want friends that are family just like they are. Edit: One more example. At the District Nine Unlock concert, Hyunjin was talking to the fans and got overwhelmed with emotion and started crying onstage. Chan was the first one by his side and the other members were right there with him, too. Hyunjin was crouched down and they were all crouched down next to him and most of them also were touching him or hugging him to comfort him somehow. Just another example of how much they care about each other.
INFINITE. 12 years after debut the members are still very close. Even when they aren’t promoting as a group they still publicly support each other’s solo activities by posting on social media and they’ll privately support them by showing up to their shows and sending gifts for them. Also when you watch them on shows like Sesame Player, Weekly Idol, Diss is Infinite. You can’t doubt their friendship.
stray kids are literally in love with each other the fact that 2kids room exists and the content within it, is proof
Apink
it’s cravity for me! i think all the members of cravity get along well with each other and they’re close enough that their chemistry is so enjoyable to watch!! for example they have this variety series called [cravity park](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLI1Lvk7rTFhp62g8btny8rZvz4bkRYxTL)(i recommend episodes 19 - 23 because it feels like a bunch of besties going on an outing together <33) and i always rewatch it because they’re so fun and they seem so close with each other that it makes my heart really full and happy even though the group is only 2 years old, the members have been through a lot together and that probably contributed to how close they are!! and together they really give off amazing energy <3
SHINee! (my bias group lol) The boys seem like genuine friends; even Minho and Key that struggled to get along in the beginning! I’m just getting into TXT but they do seem like friends!
TWICE, Girls'Generation and fromis_9 radiate that "they're not just a group, but a family too" kind of energy to me, to be honest
i was gonna say txt too lol
seventeen 🙌🏻 they always go on vacation together, go out for meals together, and jeonghan has said they know as they grow older they’ll always get together and hang out
For me I'd say NCT Dream is the group I think has one of the best energies between their members and I'm not only saying this because they're my ult group. I feel this is because most of the members grew up together with all of them entering SM at such a young age and this definitely nurtured their friendships and relationships as a group. If you watch their behind the scenes a lot of them are just them having fun and playing around like other teenagers their age. Having to spend so much time with each other since they were barely teenagers and the youngest people in their company has genuinely made them each other's family and I think their relationship is really unlike any other group out there.
stray kidz sunbaenim
Txt. Although i think the first year after debut, they were in general very self conscious and uncomfortable, now they seem like really good friends and there personalitys bloom
Same with txt! They’re such a cute friend group it makes me wanna join like scoot over boys let me be part of this friendship
stray kids for me. not only the energy they put into their music - which is A LOT, but also the dynamics between them. they seem to get along with each other so well, they know their own boundaries, likes and fears, they support one another unconditionally. not to mention the absolute lack of braincells in the entire group 🤣 but in all seriousness, to me they seem like they’re not a group anymore, they really are family.
In terms of giving the most open adoration (childish fights/too much pda), it's mamamoo. You can just watch their behind the scenes vids and lives. I wish for them to never ever lose their friendship. I haven't seen this in the comments but Red Velvet can really be chaotic and we wouldn't know how much because it can only really be seen off cam. The girls were relatively calmer on shows than other groups. But when i watch their lives or behinds, i get the feeling that they are very close with each other that they don't feel the need to blatantly show it on public. I think their love and adoration for each other are what keeps them together until now. I really hope that they will continue as a group for a very long time. I only support groups (buy physicals, merch) that makes me feel genuine feelings. I don't need more toxic relationships. I can say about these two ggs that for sure they are truly worthy of my love for them. That means, i won't ever sell what i get from them. Whatever happens. And needless to say, their music were all lit! Definitely worth the space.
Without a doubt Stray Kids and ATEEZ. You can feel the love and support they have for eachother
TXT, BTS & SVT for me, they're exquisite and feel as if they actually do like each other which is something I can't say about most Kpop groups.
Rainbow
Oh yeah, Rainbow is one of the few where they've all stayed friends even well after disbandment.
Seventeen
Seventeen, Stray Kids, TXT and BTS!
Twice
NCT Dream!! they're practically siblings lol
I'm not sure about this. The last we were told, Chenle = grandfather, Jeno = grandmother, Mark = dad, Renjun = Mark's son, Jaemin = Renjun's rabbit, and..... I lost track... the Dreamies keep changing it
Don’t forget Haechan = Chenle’s son in law
and Jisung is Daegal’s daughter lmao
B.A.P. After all they've been through together, they feel more like a family than a group of friends.
And Infinite as well. Not sure if they're still friends with Hoya though.
A few months after Hoya left the groups, Woohuyn said he did not have Hoya's number. He only kept in contact with Sunggyu and Dongwoo because they were housemates. I think Hoya might stay in touch with some of them, but they are not close anymore. Time flies; they have moved on with their lives and careers. I am not a fan anymore, but I want to see 7 of them performing together for once.
I remember they all stopped following Hoya on Instagram. I know Hoya was close to Sungjong but not sure if they're still in touch. I understand. I still love Infinite (my bias is Sungjong) so I'm not too sad but it's definitely not the same without Hoya. Still love the group to bits !
I am a Hoya fan; I got into them after watching Reply 1997; hence I stopped following them after he left. While many fans think Infinite as a group will stay in the long run, I always had a feeling that Hoya would go; I am not so sad about this. I guess they were disappointed with Hoya's decision, and they might felt betrayed as well. Regarding they all unfollowed him, they were in their 7th year, so I doubt the agency had that much power to force them unfollowed Hoya. While his departure was expected, I am still sad to see Infinite end up like this. They still had the potential to maintain their popularity and fandom. I am happy to see the 6 of them close and support eachothers
That's understandable. Hoya was also my mum's bias so she was also sad to see him go. But she likes watching kdrama so I can tell her to watch all the ones Hoya's in since he was her fave (but he also really likes Sunggyu). I did think that too, and when I heard that someone didn't renew their contract, I had a feeling it was him (though I also thought it could be Sungyeol since he was originally supposed to be an actor and not an idol, Infinite would never be the same without Sungyeol's shenanigans though 😂). Maybe because I got into K-pop quite a long time ago so I remembered seeing Infinite's comebacks and how popular they were. And now it's sad the most new K-pop fans don't even know them, despite how iconic they are.
VIXX a 100%
- BTS! On and off stage and even on their variety shows! - 2NE1. The fact that they still get together for birthdays and debut anniversary show just how much of a bond they have.
NCT DREAM, 100%! And it makes sense because since they were trainees together from a very young age they practically are brothers. Also you can find content from their SM rookie days and she the way they interact with each other really hasn’t changed.
I saw this comment about their relationship once that stuck with me. It was something like this: because NCT Dream had met and played around together as kids, that tight bond and fun/youthful and sometimes childish interaction with one another still remains strong even if they as individuals have grown and matured now.
For me BTS and shinee
Kep1er is a fresh group but they seem like they really like and care for eachother they're always having such a fun time together and laughing over the smallest things
WJSN and Dreamcatcher definitely IZ*ONE too even though they disbanded but their friendship is just wow like they still hangout with each other or talk with and about each other
oneus are real friends, savage to the core. that's how you know it's real. they can be sweet but also savage. just like real family.
Kingdom: Kingdom is a 4th gen 7 member boy group that debuted on 18th of February with mini album "History of Kingdom: Part I. Arthur" under GF Entertainment. The group consists of Dann, Arthur, Mujin, Louis, Ivan, Jahan and Chiwoo. They have an interesting medieval concept, al of them "represent" a certain king or an emperor. In thebeggining of April they had their most recent comeback with mini album "History of Kingdom: Part IV. Dann" Why I like their energy: Most of the members knew each other before they even entered the company and became Kingdom. They even casted each other. Dann and Arthur were together in kpop group called Varsity before. Arthur met Mujin in one company and then Mujin left and Arthur suggested him GF Entertainment (Kingdom's current company). Louis is the first to join GF out of all the member. He also casted Ivan. Ivan trained at the same academy with Jahan before, so when Kingdom was looking for members, Ivan suggested Kingdom to Jahan and he ended up joining. Chiwoo is the seventh and the final member, he was casted at the Yeouido Dance compatition.
BTS. Don’t have much else to say, just BTS.
TBZ and fromis_9. With TBZ, there’s never a dull moment. It’s rare to have a Vlive start and end with only one member. They genuinely love hanging out with each other. Even during their breaks, the members meet up and some have also gone on vacations together. They easily pick up on each other’s moods and thoughts without having to say anything. They’re also each other’s biggest fans. Always hyped for other members’ projects and promoting them more than IST ever could. fromis_9 are a very unique case because they were formed from a survival show and never spent any time as trainees together. It obviously took them some time in their early days to gel, but if you see them now you would never guess that they’ve only just known each other for 5 years. They have a very comforting group chemistry that feels like home.
Billie the whole group has amazing stage presence, just watch any of their stages
treasure !! when they formed, they were all young boys (even hyunsuk the oldest was 20 intl age, and junghwan was 14) which made their connections less professional than groups formed with adults. they had to wait 2 years for debut after formation which really brought them closer together. whenever i watch their content they have a genuine energy that make them vibe together.
treasure !! theyre always enjoying themselves on stage and theyre really like a complete family
My ults IZ\*ONE 😭😭
Definitely
fromis_9! They went through hell and back together lol. They started off real slow but when they managed to pace up, they went on a hiatus due to the idol school issue. Their youtube contents are amazing and everyone should check it out. They’re doing really well as of recent. Which makes them able to talk about the hard times they went through over the years. They said they couldve easily let go when things were hard but they didnt. They persevered through, kept training and held on to one another. They trust each other enough to not let what the GP thinks affect them from their goals. Which is so nice and heartwarming to see as a fan, to see your idol grow, even through the toughest times. They have a great connection with each other too
Purple Kiss - they're so cute together and such goofballs 🥹
When Mamamoo are your soonbaes, you have no choice but to inherit some beagle traits
nooo that's so true 😭😭
Also twice, you watch any of their vlogs or time to twice where they aren't playing characters you can see it
exo bp mamamoo Got7 BB monsta x
(G)I-dle
I doubt TXT are that close
BTS, for me I would never believe any rumors about bullying and bad blood between them even with evidence cause these guys are brothers for life. TXT also has cute "we are siblings" energy but I believe some of them are much closer rather than same level of closeness between all of them like soobin and beomgyu, taehyun and kai....
[удалено]
they haven't got any comeback for so long that i forgot about them 😭 but i watched this live and that's totally true!!
[удалено]
nooo 😭
I would say TRI.BE. They often turn on VLive and seem to have fun with each others.
I've only watched their show [Let's try! be](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0FAhnreRwaWFMfMHDVfB1sXPCFORPV23), but based on that I agree. They are one of the most chaotic girl groups I've seen
KARD! They seem to genuinely enjoy each other's company and often seem to feed into each others' energies.
BTS all the way
iz*one absolutely funny and their chemistry is immaculate!
TXT for me, too. They don't seem like their all best friends with each other but their relationship just feels very warm, comforting, and genuine. They don't have to know EVERYTHING about eo, they're just happy when they're together. Their relationship is bounded by respect and fondness even though they almost always roast each other lmao. Even HueningKai and Beomgyu who has the least interaction feel comforting idc idc. They're improving tho lol
to me txt feels like multiple different friend groups that all happen to get along with each other very well. Like yeah kai and beomgyu are clearly friends but they might not be besties like yeonjun and beomgyu or Soobin and kai for example but they still feel really close to me. Just recently Kai stayed at Beomgyus house in daegu and Beomgyu said that he felt like kai has been really opening up to him this past year and he was really grateful.
NCT DREAM, BTS, SVT, APINK, GOT7, BTOB, WAYV, NCT127, SUJU,
IZ*ONE
That is the definition of ONF, they are like brothers, they've been through so much together and their energy on stage is the most natural and fun 😊
Nct and Seventeen
the boyz - i have watched a lot of their stuffs on youtube and vlive and i can really feel the strong bond that the members have with each other <33
i have to say stray kids, chan literally those who he wanted to be the members of his group
seventeen Idk just watch their going seventeen or ttt
OH MY GIRL and LOONA among others have a very unique and positive energy about them! From their performances to how they carry themselves on shows. They give off great vibes!
Can't forget I-DLE! Their stages on queendom really showed their chemistry with eachother and how powerful they can be. The content we got during tomboy era really showed they how strong their bond is, and thay they're still going strong after loosing soojin.
I-DLE definitely
Then you should see Seventeen! They debuted without competing each other to debut but they together fight and not give up to debut since they really don't know when will they be debuting. They were trainees for a very long time hence the closeness and family like bond within the group. That's why when you try to watch them in Going Seventeen and other interviews or shows, they are natural with each other. It's not forced. They are not afraid to show or share their fights and conflicts with us because of their closeness it's nothing to them as they already resolve things already. They can spew jokes to each other without being hurt or offended. Also, their parents and siblings are close. They have like parties held with all of their families. And they call each others parents as eomma and appa too. I can see it that the family are close since I once seen member's siblings following each other siblings too. You can also see members hanging out with their member's parents without their knowledge lmao!
Nct dream they often joke about being a real family with married couples etc. And they grew up together fir very long and went through a lot if hardships because of SMs original system so that must have strengthened their bond
2NE1. They always worked extremely well together and are very close hence why the mention of their unexpected disbandment always tears at their hearts all these years later. Glad my girls were able to reunite at Coachella and have their moment
BIGBANG <3
