Soa and Keeho met through Bora, who was dating P1Harmony's Intak at the time. Introduced by mutual friends, they bonded almost instantly over their humor and bilingual backgrounds. Their dynamic is lively and fun, they constantly tease each other, but behind the jokes is a solid loyalty.

Soa and Yeri crossed paths in 2022 and naturally grew close. Yeri's outgoing charm and Soa's friendly warmth made them fast friends. They often share candid conversations, with Yeri stepping easily into an older-sister role while still treating Soa as an equal.

– Since 2020
Soa and Wooyoung share a mischievous, playful energy. They got close in 2020, often running into each other at music shows. Their dynamic is defined by constant joking and easy banter, but when either needs serious advice, they're the type to drop the teasing and offer real support.

Heejin (October 19, 2000) – ARTMS
– Since 2017
Soa and Heejin became friends during Mix Nine. Sharing the struggles of long practice hours and the uncertainty of survival shows created a quiet but deep bond. They may not always be loud about their friendship, but they both know they can rely on each other without hesitation.

BEST FRIENDS

Ryujin (April 17, 2001) – ITZY
– Since 2016
Soa and Ryujin met during their JYP trainee days, where they spent countless hours side by side in cramped practice rooms. They supported each other through the constant cycle of evaluations, uncertainty, and exhaustion. Their bond grew out of those shared struggles, turning them into each other's safe place. Even after Ryujin debuted, their connection never wavered, if anything, it grew stronger as they cheered each other on from different stages. When they meet, it feels like slipping back into their teenage selves: laughing, venting, and reminding each other how far they've come. They don't need to explain their feelings, the other just knows.

Karina (April 11, 2000) – aespa
– Since 2020
Soa and Karina's friendship began in the month leading up to aespa's debut, and their bond quickly became something solid and easy. Both born in 2000, they connect naturally, blending Karina's calm, reflective nature with Soa's brighter, energetic spirit. Together, they balance each other, Karina grounding Soa when she's restless, Soa lifting Karina when she feels weighed down. They hype one another publicly, but behind the scenes, their friendship is softer: long late-night calls, quiet encouragements, and an unspoken loyalty. For Soa, Karina is a reminder that even in a cutthroat industry, genuine friendships can bloom.

-

Han (September 14, 2000) – Stray Kids
– Since 2017
Soa and Han grew close through overlapping JYP circles, quickly realizing how similar they were. With the same birth year and shared humor, they clicked instantly. Their friendship is built on laughter, they constantly joke, tease, and push each other to be silly. But under the surface, there's a creative wavelength they share too, often bouncing ideas off each other or talking about music and artistry late into the night. Han became someone Soa could be vulnerable with, and vice versa. They can go from laughing until their stomachs hurt to having serious heart-to-hearts in the same conversation, which makes their friendship feel rare and grounding.

-

Sunwoo (April 12, 2000) – The Boyz
– Since 2019
Soa and Sunwoo were introduced through mutual idol friends, and their same-age connection made the friendship effortless from the start. Playful and spontaneous, they built their relationship around fun, whether it's joking around backstage, sending each other random memes, or meeting up for impromptu late-night hangouts. Over time, that lightheartedness developed into something stronger. Sunwoo is one of the people Soa turns to when the industry gets heavy, and she does the same for him. Their friendship is a mix of youthful chaos and quiet reliability, they're each other's reminder that it's okay to be silly, but also that someone will always be there to lean on when things get tough.
