9. The "accidental" touches
During a live broadcast with the group, Minho and Jeongin sat beside each other, and the atmosphere between them was notably… different. As they joked around with the other members, fans noticed that Jeongin kept finding reasons to touch Minho—his shoulder, his arm, even brushing their knees together under the table. Each time, Minho would raise an eyebrow or chuckle, but he never pulled away, letting Jeongin’s hand linger a little longer than necessary.
Viewers flooded the chat, fans leaving messages like, "is anyone else noticing this?" and "why are they acting like this?!" Some fans began to wonder if there was more to their banter than simple friendship, their interactions catching the attention of even the other members, who gave them amused, knowing looks.

At a fan sign event, one fan asked Jeongin who he thought was the most attractive member, expecting a playful or funny answer. But without missing a beat, Jeongin looked straight at Minho and said, “Obviously Minho-hyung. Have you seen him?” His tone was low, almost daring.
