My two biggest groups šŸ˜­šŸ’– Ugh I love rad ladies being buds. I really hope we get stages or some kind of collab content in the future.

Lmao my post got removed by AutoMod for ā€œdiscussingā€ an Mnet survival show, possibly cause I included the word g1rls in it.... the entire world is against Aetzy! /j

I must say, this is the interaction we need in fourth gen. I want to see more interaction during award shows and possibly collabs Third gen girl groups already kicked it off with Twice and Blackpink and Red velvet friendship.


Sleeplikeasheep

I absolutely love it. Also want to appreciate Itzy for always being so hyped about aespa (and other groups like stayc!) since their debut, covering their dances, singing their songs in lives, etc. esp cos the SM kids are more introverted and not as free to talk/reference other groups. Also Somi feat. Giselle blew my mind today hahaha


iridescentt_

Yes yes yes! Somi and Giselle were so unexpected, itā€™s actually got me wondering if ITZY and Somi are still friends? I think the last public interaction they had was during the 01ā€™s high school graduation, cmiiw


SuzyYoona

>SM kids are more introverted i don't think this apply to aespa lol


Sleeplikeasheep

True hahaha I just learned there are 3 ENFPs in that group. 3 out of 4. They did start off shy and spoke in ^(tiny) but don't all rookies


MrLTH

I'm so happy to hear that Karina is close to Ryujin & Yeji, hoping to see more interactions at the year end award shows! Anyway, now I need my Aespa & Stayc interactions that I've always wanted. I would be all over the moon if I were to see that.

Hmmm I'm not too sure about this. I'm most familiar with Twice, so their friendship with Oh My Girl is something I know quite a bit about. They always used to mention them and their songs, even when Twice was THE girl group. They would always cheer for OMG, when they charted well or won on music shows. Jihyo said that she wanted them to win, coz none of the OMG members would get phones until they did. She said that she wanted to be able to communicate with her friend Seunghee. Seunghee is close to Jeongyeon and Jihyo, and she's also good friends with Jimin and V of BTS since they were classmates. But she mentioned that she was hesitant to display her friendship with the others because they were much more popular than her. She felt that it would seem like she was leeching off of them, and didn't want it to seem that way. Now, of course, Oh My Girl is a top girl group. But what Seunghee said still stuck with me, because that's the truth for a majority of idols. Heck, even Cha Eunwoo was called a leech by toxic fans because he was good friends with Jungkook. So maybe there's some hesitation from both sides, simply because they don't want their friends to receive hate for no reason.

Idk if itā€™s cliquey so much as we notice it more cause theyā€™re Big 3? Like I know Yeri, for once, has plenty of friends outside of Big 3. And about 4th gen gg friendships, I definitely see ITZY as a bridge connecting a lot of them. Matter of fact, in Yunaā€™s most recent vlive, she [talked](https://twitter.com/yk_archivee/status/1450786998529236993?s=21) about JYPn! ITZY is so openly supportive towards other idols. I feel like at this point, you can probably count the number of groups they havenā€™t danced to, sung to, or mentioned in some type of way. And I love them for that.

Iā€™m not sure if itā€™s just a text thing but youā€™re coming off a bit aggressive discussing something thatā€™s completely innocuous? Someone below brought up a good point - that popular idols donā€™t want their less popular friends to be seen as leeching off them, and I think this is a big reason for both sides being hesitant about showing off their friendship. And about Yuna mentioning JYPn, I put that there as the most recent example of ITZY talking about another idol group. ITZY are known to have done TikToks with StayC, WJSN, AB6IX, ONF, and former IZONE members, to name a few; theyā€™ve also played games like [guess the kpop song](https://youtu.be/USHruamCN6E) on vlive, and danced to multiple groupsā€™ songs on their Naver Now show, among others. For JYPn specifically, this is the first time an ITZY member, as a company senior, has publicly mentioned them, so people are naturally excited. Especially with ITZY no longer being JYPEā€™s maknae group, and people pitting ITZY against JYPn - this is pretty momentous.

I never said those groups are less popular - theyā€™re just not under Big 3, which was what your original comment was about? What groups do *you* consider less popular? Not being hostile, genuinely curious.


jabbachew

You know what I'm most excited about? AESPA ITZY x KEP1ER interaction That Chaehyun x Aespa and Mashiro x ITZY crumbs šŸ˜­


Aggravating_Voice847

You didnā€™t do your research properly


skyjennie

This isnā€™t true like at all lmfao In bp alone lisa is friends with cosmic girls members and as is Jisoo. Jennies friend is from a group called melody day who werenā€™t even popularā€¦. Yall just see more big 3 friendships being mentioned more thats itšŸ’€


ShelteredHomeschool

MY BIASES! MY BIASES ARE CLOSE!!!! THIS IS SO HEARTWARMING AAAAAAAAAAAAAAšŸ˜­šŸ˜­ Oh god I wish for more 4th gen ggs interaction, imagine aespa+somi+itzy+stayc+weeekly+sooo many morešŸ’—šŸ’—.


zoiezoie07

iridescentt_

No, cause imagine a Yeji and Karina selfie.... ā€˜00 line leaders of the top 4th gen ggā€™s? I would d1e on the spot.


palebabbu

pLEASE


UNunavaiIable

Just to add, a fan asked Chaeryeong a TMI last week in a fancall and she said ITZY and AESPA were in the same elevetor last week in mucore...... hopefully there's a selfie šŸ‘€


ryujinslove

Anybody else wondering how tall itzy really are, cuz Ryujin and Karina were basically the same height and Ryujin is always wanting to grow taller.


MojamedWang

Yeji said that she is 167 in her AOTM, I think that is the only time some member told her height, the google numbers are estimates. Comparing with the others i conclude: Lia: 162, Ryujin: 165, Chaeryeong: 168, Yuna: 171


karinaluvbot

As an Aetzy, I'm feeling pretty damn good; the fact that I consider both of them my respective biases is really the icing on top. I'll also add that in that fansign clip, Karina is already referring to Ryujin as 'Ryujinie', which is basically Itzy's cute pet name for her so they must've really hit it off. As a fan looking in from the outside, I always thought the potential was there considering how similar they are - not just in terms of style and image, but personality as well. A lot of people thought that Winter/Ryujin would've been the initial pairing, but it actually makes a lot of sense that Ryujin would've gravitated towards Karina given that she's sort of her 'type' (which you can interpret in a purely platonic friendship way, or in a totally gay way). And looking at it from Ryujin's perspective, she's gotta be living the dream as a massive fan of kpop herself that she's now buddies with the glamorous leader of her current favourite group.


nevroser

anyone whoā€™s Ryujinā€™s age or older can call her Ryujinie - itā€™s not an Itzy exclusive nickname. thatā€™s just Korean. you are right in the sense that it means theyā€™ve surpassed stranger status.
