On the May 21st instalment of JTBC’s ‘Idol Room’, Yugyeom explained how he became Jungkook’s friend. “I’m close with chef Lee Yeon Bok and BTS’ Jungkook. When I was 19 years old, we collaborated with BTS for a ‘MAMA’ performance. That was when we exchanged numbers and got friendly with each other. We’re the same age. 1997 line,” he said.

Host Jung Hyung Don joked, “So if Yugyeom picks you as a friend, you’ll become popular. Who would you want to pick from GOT7?” Yugyeom then chose fellow member Youngjae as the icon of 2019.”
