Yang Jeongin (I.N)

- 2001 -

《 not so close 》

  Annie mainly knows Jeongin from stories that she hears at the studio from Changbin and from bumping on him at the hallways before or after practice. She has talked with him a few times, though, and used to find the boy adorable, now she says he's a grown man.

   They're not very close, but he really respects her as an artist, even though she debuted after him.

Kim Seungmin

- 2000 -

《 vocal partners 》

  The first time they met was rather fun: it was Seungmin's time to use the vocal room, but Haerim was still there, so immersed in the song she didn't notice the door slightly opening. The boy stayed until she finished it, curious to know more about the voice's owner. 

  After that, the two started to give each other tips and even sing together sometimes. However, they've never hung out outside the company.

•

Lee Felix

- 2000 -

《 classmates 》

  No, they're not actually classmates. When Felix first entered the company, in 2017, Annie and Chan were the first ones to talk with him since they knew English pretty well. Chan offered to help Felix with Korean and Annie asked to also participate in the "classes", since she thought she was still lacking a lot. 

Because of his bright personality, Felix treats Annie as his best friend and she loves it.

Han Jisung

- 2000 -

《 enemies to friends》

  When Han first came to JYPE (a few months after Haerim), the two used to bicker a lot over stupid things and no one knew why, not even them - but it was probably because they were going through puberty. Now, they often go grab coffee and work in the studio together, writing their own stuff and helping each other. 

  Haerim often slaps him slightly out of habit and they hug a lot. They hugged for the first time at the end of 2015 to make up and haven't stopped ever since.

•

Hwang Hyunjin

- 2000 -

《 dance partners》

  After seeing Hyunjin's performance at the Monthly evaluation in 2016, Haerim instantly wanted to learn from him. Luck was on her side as they were put on the same team for the next month's evaluation and, eventually, he gave her a few lessons. 

  After his debut they don't see each other much, but she sometimes catches him dancing alone at night and stops to watch secretly.

Seo Changbin

- 1999 -

《 hidden love 》

Oh these two...they have quite a long story. They saw each other for the first time at a convenience store, when they both fought for the last Kimchi Ramyeon - they were 13. Around two months later, they met properly at the dance academy. On August 10th, 2013, the dancers threw a surprise birthday party for the two, and that's when they found out their birthdays were only a day apart. 

From little things, they started getting closer, to the point they decided to audition for the same company. Haerim was extremely upset after knowing Changbin didn't make it. Not seeing her friend every day made her realize she had actually developed feelings for him, and they were strong. However, Haerim knew Changbin didn't like her back, so she never confessed. Just being able to hold his hand and receive his warm hugs is enough for her.

•

Lee Minho (Lee Know)

- 1998 -

《  hostile 》

  Please don't leave them alone in the same room. They can and will fight. Ever since Haerim heard about Minho treating her friend so badly to the point she chose to leave the company in 2019, she hated him. Haerim did ask for an explanation, but he chose the silent treatment, which only made the girl angrier. 

  It doesn't matter if JYP himself says Haerim did well, Minho will find a flaw and point it out when the elders aren't around. The two have never spent more than 5 minutes in the same room without bickering and the tension between them does not go unnoticed by the members, staff or trainees.

•

Bang Chan

- 1997 -

《  sunbae and hoobae 》

  Chan is one of the few people that have trained longer than Haerim. He also auditioned at a very young age and came from an English speaking country without his parents, and that may be why the two clicked so fast. At first, Haerim was insecure about befriending an older guy, but his nice manners quickly convinced her. 

  Whenever Chan has time, he calls Haerim to know what she's up to and if she's taking care of herself. He was also the one who motivated her to produce, making the girl fall in love with composing. She really admires and looks up to him and is also really glad to have Chan to guide her whenever she needs help with the career. 

  Although they count on each other a lot and talk frequently, people don't really notice how close they are.
