On August 17, 2024, BLACKPINK's Jisoo appeared on the YouTube show Hi Seulgi, where Seulgi shared the story of how she became friends with Jisoo and Lisa.  

In the YouTube show, they stopped by a restaurant where Seulgi reminisced about meeting Jisoo and Lisa in the bathroom at an awards show and wanting to befriend them. The pair also traveled to Yangpyeong, where heavy rain created a romantic atmosphere.

While sharing a meal, Jisoo and Seulgi reminisced about their first meeting, noting that they both visited the same salon. Jisoo mentioned that some of the salon staff had told her that Red Velvet frequented the place, and she wanted to befriend them because she was the same age as Wendy and Seulgi. Jisoo eventually had the opportunity to meet Seulgi at the 2019 Gaon Chart Music Awards, now known as the Circle Chart Music Awards.

Instead of meeting backstage like many idols do, Jisoo and Seulgi first crossed paths in the bathroom. They shared more details about their initial encounter, with Seulgi noting that Lisa was also there. Seulgi admitted she initially thought they might not become close because they were from different agencies. However, Jisoo quickly put those worries to rest with her bright and friendly greeting. Without hesitation, Jisoo told Seulgi that she wanted to be friends. Seulgi agreed; the rest is history of how they became so close!

Jisoo and Seulgi also chatted about Jisoo’s upcoming zombie-themed drama, *NewTopia*, revealing that the cast had just finished filming.
