In showbiz, having a simple friendship is difficult, but having a close friend of the opposite ṩệẍ is even more difficult. But actually in the world of Kpop idols, there still exist "opposite" close friendships that many people admire.
One of them is the friendship story between Jeon Somi and RM. Although they have a big difference in age and gender, the two share many things in common so they quickly become close friends. Somi also mentioned the situation where she and RM started their friendship and shared interesting things between them.
Here's what Somi shows that the two are truly cute friends
Jeon Somi is one of the most successful female idols working solo today. She also came back with a new album not long ago, so during this time, she participated in a lot of promotional activities and attended events with many other celebrities.
In particular, Somi especially attracted attention with the times she revealed her friendship with RM. First, RM and the female artist were spotted appearing together at BIGBANG G-Dragon's PEACEMINUSONE x NIKE collaboration dinner party, held in April this year. It was a party that BTS's Somi, RM and Jimin, LE SSERAFIM's Kazuha and Yunjin, Apink's Son Naeun, and actor and model Lee Soo Hyuk... also attended.
Next, RM and Somi surprised everyone by sharing photos taken together at the star-studded launch party she threw for her new EP Game Plan. Not only RM but several celebrities attended including TWICE's Nayeon, Jihyo and Chaeyoung, SEVENTEEN's Woozi, The8 and Mingyu, BIGBANG's Taeyang and G-Dragon, actor Joo Woo Jae, and more. This also shows how large Somi's famous circle of friends really is, with idols from multiple generations of K-Pop in attendance.
Most recently, Somi and RM were also seen enjoying the same fun and vibrant atmosphere at αmєrícαn rapper Lil Uzi Vert's concert held in Seoul. Not only that, they also participated in Lil Uzi Vert's After Party held afterward.
It can be seen that RM and Somi have a very close friendship and many people guess that it may have started a long time ago. Therefore, many fans are very curious about how she met RM. One fan even asked her directly about how she became friends with the leader of BTS. On the contrary, Somi did not hesitate to reveal their friendship.
It turned out that the two were not long-time friends but had only recently started their friendship. That's since G-Dragon's party - where they officially met each other in person for the first time. Since that meeting, Somi and RM discovered they had many common friends in the industry after working for a long time. Thanks to that, they also easily become closer. Not only that, Somi also shared a special thing: they often talk to each other in English. This is also easy to see in idols who are friends with RM and have good foreign language sкιℓℓs.
Specifically, Somi said: "We first met at Jiyong oppa's NIKE event. But as he (RM) has been in this industry for a long time. My friends also are people that have been promoting for a long time. I've also promoted for quite a long time myself. We have a lot of friends in common. I guess we just got close like this. He is also good at English. So surprisingly, we end up talking a lot in English."
After Somi's sharing, fans feel very happy about how the two have become friends. Along with that, fans also hope to enjoy the collaboration between the two in the future:

- I’m loving this era of K-pop where they get to freely hang out like. There might be a few weirdos but it’s been a while since I’ve seen their tweets or posts. I’m loving the clap backs as well. Seems like most companies are giving artists more freedom and are less strict.
- They look good together…He’s having so much fun!!! I’m so happy
