Although there is friendly rivalry between idol groups, one can’t help to also form close friendship with each other in the music industry. Who are the best of friends among these idol groups?

The most famous friendship among fans is perhaps 2AM’s JoKwon and Wonder Girls’ leader SunYe. They knew each other ever since they were in 6th grade and trained under JYP Entertainment for a long time that the two developed a strong bond.

Reminiscing their friendship, JoKwon tweeted, “A friend I have not seen a while. Today, although we did not say anything, we knew how tired we both were, and ended up crying. These tears were not only for the times we’ve endured, but also for our hopes and memories.”

Another idol-best friends in the list are DBSK’s Jaejoong and Boa. Their friendship is also well-known among the fans as Jaejoong once revealed, “Boa and I are close enough to be able to tell each other about our worries, and give each other relationship advice.” Boa also expressed her warm feelings towards Jaejoong as she stated once that she cherishes him.

Super Junior’s Sungmin and SNSD’s Sunny also shared a close friendship that they were once accused of dating. They both became a DJ in a radio where they revealed each other’s secrets and goofed around each other.

The last on the list for now are Super Junior’s Heechul and f(x)’s Sulli. Selca pictures between these two always surface the net. Heechul even advised Sulli, “If anything happens, such as another male celebrity asking you out, you have to tell me first,” showing the brother-sister love between them.

Idol groups are always fighting over the number one spot, but you bet in backstage they enjoy each other’s company.

KBS 2TV ‘Celebrity Broadcast’ went on Guerilla Date with Super Junior members Leeteuk, Shindong, Kyuhyun, Donghae, Siwon, and Eunhyuk. During the broadcast, Donghae called out actor Shin HyunJun. Why?

It seems like Super Junior’s Donghae is complaining about HyunJun because he won’t buy him food. Donghae claimed, “Shin HyunJun told me to call him, and that he’d buy me food, but he never picked up my call.”

Who wouldn’t be attempted to complain when one promises free food but never obliged? Apparently, HyunJun was in the studio watching the interview and responded, “I want to answer his call, but I’m sleeping when you call at 3~4 in the morning,” causing much laughter in the set.

Try aiming for a better time to call if you want free food Donghae! The episode also showed MC Lee SiYoung smiling after glancing at LeeTeuk’s abs so try not to miss the episode if you want more Super Junior goodies.

In the recent filming of SBS ‘I Like Sunday’ first half ‘Family Outing 2,’ the family went on a school trip to Kangwondo Jung Sun Gaemindul village for Wonder Girls who weren’t able to properly enjoy their school days with their friends.

Everyone’s attention went to Super Junior Heechul who has been considering himself as Sohee’s big fan. When Heechul met Sohee for the first time, he acted differently, becoming quiet. Heechul would laugh and have fun with the members, but when in front of Sohee, Heechul’s face became red and wasn’t able to talk well. He showed an unexpected side of him which made everyone laugh.

However, as the filming continued, Heechul and Sohee became close fast. When playing a Calvary battle game at a river, Heechul received the punishment for Sohee and actively expressed his love by trying to make Sohee laugh with word jokes.

• Why I love Super Junior? I wasn’t into K-Pop when Super Junior debuted, I started noticing them only after they released Sorry Sorry (in my opinion, THE song that shot them to superstardom and got them where they are right now). My first impression of them was “Why so many members?” and “What’s with the haircut?” While watching EHB, it was then when I realized that these boys began to grow on me. They have a nonchalant approach to fame and they don’t take themselves too seriously, that’s a quality I rarely find in other K-Pop groups. I realize in Korean entertainment world, idol images are shaped and they have to maintain that, but every so often, with SJ members, their real personalities appear in interviews, variety shows, radio broadcasts and especially Super Show. They way they interact with each other make me feel like I’m watching the boys-next-door, approachable, funny, dorky and humble. I guess that imperfection shows that they are real and relatable.
  
  Why I love TwELFs and SPL? When I first started collecting information about Super Junior, I stumbled upon several fanbases, but TwELFs stood out to my attention immediately for several reasons: quality content, good English, pleasing to the eyes & easy to navigate.Like any other new converts, I joined in the fandom bandwagon and participated with gusto especially on Trending Topic projects. I was surprised to know that TwELFs founders were still in college, because they ran a tight ship with the blog and Twitter account. I was even more pleasantly surprised when I communicated via Twitter with the founders, because they were so friendly and unpretentious. TwELFs blog has meaty content without sacrificing entertainment value. It is informational without sounding too serious and at the same time, provides all the fun tidbits for fans –newly minted or veteran.
  
  SPL is oozing with creativity (e.g. forum members referred to as Students and Super Junior members as Professors!) and over a short period of time has gained the reputation of being one of the most acclaimed international forums for ELFs. SPL keeps making changes for the better and continues to carry out credible projects for Super Junior and ELFs. SPL is a labor of love, and I salute the people behind it, who are such dedicated hard-workers.
