Idols Who Got To Know Each Other As High School Homeroom Buddies

Every February, Korean high schools and universities hold ceremonies for their graduates. This year was no exception as students from across the country attended their graduation and celebrated finally becoming adults!

Many idols also graduated from their schools including Hanlim Arts School and the School of Performing Arts Seoul last week, after which they took to social media to express gratitude and share excitement about graduating.

In celebration of their big achievement in life, here are idol members who became friends after being assigned to the same homeroom in high school!

1. Highlight’s Yang Yoseob and Lee Gikwang

These two Highlight members are seriously friend goals. They were assigned to the same homeroom in their senior year of high school when Yang Yoseob transferred to Ahyeon Industrial Information School at which Lee Gikwang was already a student.

Look how cute they were back in high school!

4. BTS’s Jimin, V, and Oh My Girl’s Seunghee

These three became homeroom buddies when BTS’s Jimin and V transferred to Korea Arts School from Busan Performing Arts School and Daegu Jaeil High School, respectively. When Seunghee made her debut, she brought attention to their friendship by naming the BTS members as celebrity friends with whom she is close with.

5. Apink’s Oh Hayoung and GFRIEND’s Yerin

Everyone is already well-aware of the friendship between Hayoung and Yerin! The two became close friends when they entered the School of Performing Arts Seoul as students in the Department of Applied Music.

When it was time for Yerin’s debut, Oh Hayoung showed her support through this sweet message!

While Joy is also close with Oh Hayoung and Yerin, she was never in the same homeroom with them. Instead, she was in the same homeroom as B.A.P’s Zelo! Their friendship may come off as unexpected to some of us, but the two idols were in the same homeroom for all three years of high school!

7. Lovelyz’s Sujeong and Golden Child’s Jangjun

These two attended the School of Performing Arts together! They both graduated before Jangjun made his debut as Golden Child, but Sujeong has previously mentioned that she had a labelmate who was in the same class as her. At the time, the Lovelyz member said she was able to receive full attention on her first day of school thanks to her labelmate. Fans suspect that she was referring to Jangjun but did not say his name as he was still a trainee.

8. BTS’s Jungkook and CLC’s Yeeun

The two were students in the Department of Applied Music at the School of Performing Arts School. While Jungkook was born in 1997 and is one year older than Yeeun, they were still in the same homeroom as the BTS member entered high school a year later.

9. DIA’s Chaeyeon and NCT’s Jaehyun

These two were in the same homeroom when Jaehyun was not a member of NCT yet! They were students in the Department of Broadcasting and Entertainment at the School of Performing Arts Seoul.

10. SEVENTEEN’s Dokyeom, GFRIEND’s Yuju, Oh My Girl’s Jihyo, WJSN’s Cheng Xiao, and RAINZ’s Eun Ki

The homeroom that consisted of these five 97-liners was considered legendary at the School of Performing Arts Seoul for having the most number of idols in one classroom. They all studied applied dance at the School of Performing Arts Seoul.

Check out a video of the students who were in the same homeroom as the five above below!

11. GFRIEND’s SinB and WJSN’s Eunseo

12. GFRIEND’s Umji and former APRIL member Lee Hyun Joo

Umji and Lee Hyun Joo became friends on the first day of high school.

Afterward, the two reunited after debuting respectively in GFRIEND and APRIL.

13. NCT’s Jeno, Jaemin, and Weki Meki’s Choi Yoojung
