Among them, the relationship surrounding G-Dragon, the host of the 88 country, draws interest. It turns out that G-Dragon and Kim Soo-hyun were not meeting for the first time but had exchanged phone numbers, and a story was revealed where G-Dragon mistakenly called Kim Soo-hyun, thinking he was someone else, bringing laughter. The connection between G-Dragon and Jung Hae-in, who met casually on 'You Quiz on the Block', and the dramatic reunion of G-Dragon and Hwang Kwang-hee after 10 years were also interesting points. Notably, a video titled 'My friend G-Dragon who has been struggling for 10 years' recorded 1.2 million views and ranked first in YouTube's trending videos within a day.
In addition, the first meeting between Hwang Kwang-hee, who publicly apologized for speaking informally to Jung Hae-in, and Jung Hae-in, as well as the story about how Kim Soo-hyun accidentally met Hwang Kwang-hee while choosing sunscreen at a cosmetic shop during his military leave, revealed various hidden stories among the 88 friends, providing laughter to the viewers.
Through the broadcast, the 88 friends, who became awkward but closer, are garnering more attention as they show their true friendship post-broadcast. Recently, Hwang Kwang-hee, who claimed to be working out and boasted about his muscles, posted a photo of Lee Soo-hyuk's six-pack on his SNS, writing, 'Lee Soo-hyuk!! I'll catch up soon!! Wait for it lol,' to which Lee Soo-hyuk regrammed, commenting, 'Will that be possible? Support you, our Kwang-hee~ But until when?? Let me know the date.'
G-Dragon met Im Si-wan in Paris and shared a friendly selfie; he also drew attention from fans by voting on a post selecting Kim Soo-hyun's thumbnail. Meanwhile, Kim Soo-hyun uploaded a video of himself boxing with G-Dragon on his SNS and tagged friends' accounts on a picture of an empty bungeoppang plate, captioning it '88'. Recently, when Hwang Kwang-hee posted a photo with 88 friends on his account, the friends reacted, showing the true friend vibe in reality. Thus, the relationship of the 88 friends, who have become true friends after the broadcast, has become another key point of interest, delighting fans.
