Blackpink and Red Velvet are currently the top 3rd Gen girl groups in K-pop. As a result, the competition between them is intense. In fact, in terms of music, these groups are rivals. However, an interesting fact is that they are quite close friends in real life.
Jennie and Irene are the most famous best friend duo from BLACKPINK and Red Velvet. Their friendship began when Jennie approached Irene to start a conversation at a hair salon. Although they don’t meet often, Jennie and Irene remain very close, exchanging gifts and even going on private outings together.
Jennie and Irene once appeared together on SBS TV’s ‘Inkigayo‘. At that time they had a surprise meeting in the waiting room. Jennie stood in front of the wall, and Irene ran to Jennie and hugged her. Jennie covered her cheeks with a happy smile.

They both had their doll-like shots in the show. Jennie emphasized her elegance with a flower off-shoulder dress and Irene showed off her sexy looks with a backless leopard-patterned shirt.
Their friendship is already famous
Netizens responded by saying, “I support Baechu and Mandu,” “They’re both so cute,” and “There are no dolls as beautiful as they are.“
