A Special Album Spotted In RIIZE Sungchan’s Room Reminds Fans Of A Certain Friendship

Being part of the K-Pop industry often means that if you’re close friends with another idol, your friendship will likely be under the scanner. This, fortunately, hasn’t stopped genuine bonds from flourishing, even from members of different groups. Such is the case with RIIZE‘s Sungchan and TREASURE‘s Jihoon.

The most recent vlog by RIIZE on YouTube gave fans a peek into Sungchan’s room. And what did eagle-eyed fans spot? A TREASURE album!

This subtle yet significant presence of the TREASURE album — more precisely, one of THE SECOND STEP physical versions — stirred up feelings of nostalgia among fans. It was a poignant reminder of the special friendship that Jihoon and Sungchan share. While the two haven’t been seen interacting publicly for a while, this small detail was enough to assure fans that their bond remains unbroken.

For those unaware of the roots of this bromance, Jihoon and Sungchan met in 2021. Their paths crossed when they were chosen as the hosts for the popular music program Inkigayo. They shared the stage and the job with IVE‘s Yujin. While the role demanded professionalism, it also allowed the trio’s personal bonds to form, and Sungchan and Jihoon’s connection was undeniably the most talked about.

The two grew so close that their friendship was no longer restricted to their professional commitments. Fans frequently reminisce about the memorable moments that showcased the depth of their bond. One standout memory is how they chose to celebrate their birthdays together. Idol birthdays can be deeply personal, so their joint celebrations speak volumes about their closeness.

Another unforgettable instance that fans still chuckle over is Jihoon’s quirky choice of a birthday gift for Sungchan. The idea of receiving bold animal print underwear might leave many red-faced, but for Sungchan, it was all in good fun. It’s precisely these playful and candid moments that underscore the genuine friendship they share, allowing fans to see beyond their on-screen personas.
