Although BTS & BLACKPINK are both 3rd generation groups and are considered the King and Queen of this generation's Kpop, they have a distance between their debuts. BTS debuted under Big Hit in 2013 while BLACKPINK was officially introduced by YG 3 years later.
Perhaps that's why many fans don't think that the two groups have a close relationship. It wasn't until a video recorded the appearance of BLACKPINK members at Jungkook's listening party last November that people were surprised to realize their good relationship.
The public couldn't help but express their excited reactions when witnessing the close relationship between top Kpop stars:
When mentioning BTS and BLACKPINK, people will immediately think of the two groups with the largest fandom as well as possessing the most admirable achievements among idols. Not only that, in the fandom history of the two groups, "fιgнтs" between fans actually took place many times. Many people consider that the relationship between BTS and BLACKPINK is not close, or even rivals.
However, in reality, despite not having too many public interactions, the two top Kpop groups BTS and BLACKPINK have repeatedly shown a surprisingly comfortable or close relationship. The two were found to be excited towards each other's performances or even covered a part of each other's new song. When appearing at the same event, they do not hesitate to interact like any other fellows.
Recently, fans were recently surprised to learn of the friendship between Jungkook and the BLACKPINK members when the female idols attended his private listening party last year. Specifically, the restaurant in Apgujeong ward (Seoul) - where Jungkook held a listening party before releasing the album GOLDEN in November suddenly revealed that Jennie - Jisoo (BLACKPINK) were also present there.
A few hours later, a video became viral on social networks when it captured the moment the female idols appeared outside the restaurant where the event took place. Besides BTS members getting out of the car to enter the restaurant, fans also discovered Jisoo and Jennie afterward, clarifying the information revealed by the restaurant. However, some others believe that the female figure walking next to Jisoo is her manager, not Jennie.
Despite many controversies, in just a short time, the clip has garnered nearly 1,7 million views on social network X (Twitter) and this number continues to increase at a breakneck speed. Most fans felt interested in the close friendship between BTS and BLACKPINK:
- If it's true Jisoo going to Jungkook listening party, so happy! Like fans are fιgнтing over Taehyung Jennie but actually both groups are good with each other. Even, if JK invite Jisoo at listening party means that they're both closed enough. JISOO X JUNGKOOK crumbs
- Only the fans are crazy, I think both idols are okay. Even if we love each other, it's nice.
- These two groups are close. I know it when I saw the video of V and Jisoo talking to each other all the time at Cartier party. Jennie and JK both represent Calvin Klein, so it's not surprising that they're friends =))
- Regardless of whether the rumor is true or false, it is normal for idols knowing each other closely, like JK's 97-liners group. The idols are so close but their fans are still fιgнтing =)))
- Sometimes they are very close to each other, but it's because of the fans, they hide it. These guys also have a wide relationship, they rarely avoid each other
- It's normal for idols in the world to know each other well. No one who has debuted for a decade or nearly a decade and shared many stages doesn't know each other.
- I love it. Being famous means my circle of friends is full of good people. I really like seeing idols interact like this, as long as the relationships are healthy and not debauchery.
- It turns out that the two groups probably know each other. V and JS are ambαѕѕadors of the same brand, Kook and Jen or JM and Rosé are too. It it the best to see their interactions more often.
Meanwhile, BTS and BLACKPINK also had many viral moments before. Typically Lisa - V, Jisoo and V or Jennie - Jungkook. Lisa and V already have a close relationship when appearing together many times in CELINE's promotional events. Fans were surprised to discover that Lisa called V "oppa", an extremely close way to call the others in кσяєαn.
Jungkook and Jennie ever took the spotlight when they appeared together at a Calvin Klein event as global ambαѕѕadors not long ago. During the launch event of the brand's collection in collaboration with Jennie, fans discovered the moment "the party owner" approached to greet Jungkook. This moment later caused a storm on social networks, netizens couldn't help but praise the combination of their visuals.
Not to mention the huge circle of friends that BTS and BLACKPINK have in Kpop. Typically, group leader RM is very close with G-Dragon and The Black Label artists, Jimin once collaborated with Taeyang, Lisa is also close with members of 97-liner like Mingyu (SEVENTEEN)... So it's not difficult for Kpop superstars to become friends behind the scenes. The intimate connection between BTS and BLACKPINK makes fans feel interesting.
