🫂| Stray Kids

Yeji is one of those members of ITZY who has a particularly prominent connection with JYP's older artists.
She has known Bang Chan and Hyunjin for a long time, as well as the other members of SKZ.
And since she is a leader herself, it is easy for her to understand the responsibility that rests on the leader of the group.
Yeji + Bang Chan = two leaders who understand each other.

Yeqi + Hyunjin = fans' favorite ship due to similar facial features, and the same surname "Hwang"

Leah is also familiar with the members of Stray Kids from JYP.
However, she is rarely at the center of shared content, so there is little information about her personal friendships with specific members of SKZ.
And that's okay: the absence of public interactions does not mean the absence of friendship.

Ryujin has been very familiar with JYP artists since her debut days.
She was also involved in various projects before the debut of ITZY, so her circle of acquaintances among the company's artists is quite large.
Her calm nature goes well with some of the members of SKZ, especially those who also like dry humor.

And here is a particularly interesting point.
Jaeryong is Chaeyeon's sister from TWICE, so she has been around people from the dance and K-pop backgrounds since she was a child.
In addition, she has been training for a long time and knows many JYP artists well.
Because of this, she has a fairly wide network of acquaintances among the company's artists.

Yuna is the youngest member of ITZY.
And here we get a funny situation:
I.N – maknae SKZ 🦊
Yuna – maknae ITZY 🦌
Therefore, fans like to consider them as a kind of "maknae of two groups".
But again, this is more of a funny fan parallel than proof of some kind of special close friendship.

Hyunjin and the members of ITZY are also acquaintances from JYP.
Interestingly, Hyunjin and Yeji (you) are both very much involved in dance.
When people are engaged in dancing in the same company for a long time, they have a common professional language: they can understand each other through choreography and performances.
But the specific degree of their personal friendship is better not to exaggerate - most of the communication remains outside the cameras.

Felix is also familiar with the members of ITZY as a JYP colleague.
He has a rather soft and friendly manner of communication, so he often gets along well with other artists.
But Felix and ITZY don't have so many public moments together to confidently talk about any particularly close individual friendships

Seungmin has also known ITZY since JYP.
That 😂
is why his interactions with other artists are often perceived as quite funny, with the others reacting emotionally, and Seungmin can just stand with a face,
"What's going on?" 😐

I.N
🦊 + Yuna 🦌
They're both maknae of their bands, so fans often pay attention to their interactions.
But here, too, it is important to separate friendly/collegial moments and fan spikes. There is no reason to assert a romantic relationship between them.

Stray Kids × ITZY
They are about like older and younger colleagues from the same JYP family.
Stray Kids debuted in 2018, ITZY in 2019, so many members crossed paths during the trainee period.
Bang Chan, one of those SKZ members who has been familiar with ITZY since the days of trainee, is 👇

particularly interesting.
He was in JYP for a long time and trained alongside many of the company's future artists.
💜 Yeji × Bang Chan
This is one of the most famous friendships between the two groups.
They have known each other for a very long time and have repeatedly spoken warmly about each other.
They are sometimes referred to as a kind of "seniors" among their groups because both hold important leadership positions.
And they have an interesting contrast:
Bang Chan: 🐺 "I have to take care of everyone."
Yeji: 🐱 "I'm also a leader, but I can handle it on my own."
Lee Nou has a less public relationship with the members of ITZY than some of the other members of SKZ, but they know each other from JYP.
It is especially funny to watch him at general events.
Lee Nou is generally known for liking to poke fun at familiar people, so his interactions with ITZY are often humorous.
He doesn't look like a person who will constantly say,
"You're my best friend! 🥺"
Rather:
"... 😐
Changbing has also known the members of ITZY for a long time.
He has a rather energetic personality, so he usually fits well into the atmosphere at general events.
Especially interesting is the contrast with Yuna:
Yuna: ✨ 200%
energyChangbin: 🔥 300%
energyAnd when such people are together, there is no peace of mind At 😂
the same time, it is important not to confuse fan "spikes" or memes with real romantic relationships - there is no public confirmation of romantic relationships between members of these groups.
Khan is another member who has been in JYP for a long time and crossed paths with the company's future artists.
He has a rather friendly and funny manner of communication, so he easily interacts with other JYP artists in group activities.
