Blocking Seventeen’s Mingyu’s car

Seventeen fans might already know that Mingyu is close friends with DIA’s Jung Chae-yeon, who is also a former member of IOI. The two idols are the same age and were both born in 1997. Not only that, Mingyu and Chaeyeon also hosted the Inkigayo music program that aired on SBS every Sunday. In December 2018, fans found an adorable moment between Mingyu and Chaeyeon after completing SBS’ Inkigayo music program.

At that time, Mingyu entered the car and was preparing to leave. But Chaeyeon actually stood in front of his car and seemed to intentionally not want to stay away by greeting the people that she met. This moment became the spotlight of netizens on online community sites. Not a few netizens who think their interactions are adorable.

[+107][-4] I’m not a fan of both idols, but isn’t it obvious that they were just joking because they’re close? You can totally see how close they are just by watching Inkigayo live from the studio. When the camera goes off, they would quarrel, hit each other as a joke, dance and hang out together… They even whisper something to each other. I’ve watched Inkigayo live from the studio several times, that’s how I know all of these.
[+91][-8] I often go to watch Inkigayo live and I wouldn’t say they were joking in a lovey-dovey way… They’re just joking in a way that real friends would joke. The other second they quarrel with each other, the other second they joke around, and the other second they would play together…
[+54][-4] I watched the whole video and the conclusion that I can pull off is: that both of them are so cute…
[+37][-1] So what happened back then was, Jung Chaeyeon was greeting the staff in that spot and there came Mingyu’s car. Mingyu greeted Jung Chaeyeon and they joked a little bit there. She was not blocking the whole road, the other car you can see in the picture was her own car. So please, do not accuse Jung Chaeyeon of weird things if you don’t know the truth behind it…ㅜㅜ
[+37][-6] The cars in Inkigayo‘s parking spot usually move really slow… Why do people keep saying that Chaeyeon is blocking the road…ㅋㅋ They’re just joking because they’re close!

Staring Intimately at Chaeyeon While Speaking

SEVENTEEN’s Mingyu and DIA’s Jung Chae-yeon are both hosting the Inkigayo music program that airs on SBS every Sunday. February 3rd, 2019, was the last time for Chaeyeon to MC after deciding to leave the program. Before the program ended, Chaeyeon said goodbye to the audience. A post on the online community site Pann highlighted the sweet interaction of the former IOI personnel with fellow Inkigayo MC, Mingyu.

Everything Mingyu did was very sweet,” wrote the netter who published the post. This post got quite a lot of attention from netizens.

[+170][-5] I’m posting this since some people might misunderstand him, but he’s originally a very friendly person^^ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[+161][-5] I’m afraid some people would take him the wrong way because of those pictures. But Mingyu has this thing of staring at someone else when they talk, be it a man or a woman…ㅜㅜ
[+94][-2] Look at the way he stares at someone else…ㅜㅠ He always stares at his teammates too when they talk…
[+59][-1] Everything Kim Mingyu does is always heart-fluttering…ㅜㅜ
[+55][-0] Mingyu and Chaeyeon are really handsome and pretty. The sight of them joking around and bickering at each other was really funny, and now we can’t see it anymore…ㅜㅜ They get along really well, especially since they’re the same age. Anyway, who’s going to be the new MC?
[+52][-0] This scene really did make my heart skip a beat…
[+34][-0] When Chaeyeon cried, Carats were like ‘Don’t cry! Don’t cry!’ and at that time Mingyu looked at them with a peaceful gaze and went, ‘Ssh!’ The fans quickly became quiet right after that…ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It was really funny…ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[+34][-0] I can’t believe we can’t see the chemistry between Chaeyeon and Mingyu anymore now…ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Unnie, thank you so much…
[+29][-0] Inkigayo has gotten so much more fun because of them… And then that incident where they bickered in the parking lot happened and became a controversy… And now she’s quitting the show…ㅠㅠㅠ
[+23][-0] Huk… No, this can’t be true… I watch Inkigayo just to see Jung Chae-yeon’s face…ㅠㅠㅠ
