Since coming out in 2022, LE SSERAFIM and NewJeans have become good friends, and new behind-the-scenes footage of one of their interactions proves it.

Fans were happy with how well the two groups got along at the 37th Golden Disc Awards on January 7. From LE SSERAFIM's new name to Sakura trying to protect Hanni and Eunchae's innocence, the two groups showed that they are more than just comfortable with each other.

They also did this in a new clip that is going viral, proving that they are more than just comfortable with each other.

Fans of LE SSERAFIM got an inside look at Kim Chaewon's journey as an artist in the recent documentary Fill in the Blank. It was full of touching moments, such as testimonies from many of Kim Chaewon's closest friends and family, like her former IZ*ONE members.

But fans won't soon forget an unexpected clip from the LE SSERAFIM and NewJeans meetup. Both groups went to Yonsei University's AKARAKA festival in 2022. LE SSERAFIM impressed everyone with their performance and how fast they could react.

But the best part of the event may have been what happened behind the scenes, when LE SSERAFIM and NewJeans finally met.

Fans were excited to see the unexpected clip, especially because it showed the cute big group hug that the group members gave each other.

Now, everyone is talking about the moment, and Huh Yunjin and Hanni's hug is getting a lot of attention.

Netizens reactions included:

"Huh Yunjin is like LE SSERAFIM's true identity."

"I really thought she was Hanni's blood-related sister because of how tightly she hugged her. Seriously, it makes me realize that even if you look good and have good skills when you first start out, you won't be able to make it if you don't fit in with the rest of the group. ."

"I am so happy that both groups are doing well. Huh Yunjin did so well to pair up with LE SSERAFIM. The charms of each group are so different."

"There were no plans for LE SSERAFIM to be a group at first. Because Min Hee Jin made ADOR, Big Hit and Source Music's group was moved to ADOR. After GFRIEND disbanded, Source Music was left without a group, so I think that's why Source Music decided to make a group after that. So Huh Yunjin left and came back a second time."

"Huh Yunjin seriously did so well debuting with LE SSERAFIM"

Even though the groups' interactions at award shows were more than enough proof of their good friendship, this clip is a nice addition. If all goes well, we'll be seeing a lot more of them soon.
