In the harsh world of the entertainment industry, friendships among celebrities are already difficult, and maintaining a long-lasting one is even harder. Even the members of BTS have spoken candidly about this on multiple occasions. Jin and SUGA have admitted that as their careers grow, their circle of friends gradually becomes smaller, and the relationships that remain become incredibly valuable. Therefore, it is not surprising that the BTS members always cherish the friends who have stayed by their side.
In addition to their close brotherhood within the group, each BTS member also has notable circles of friends. Jungkook is known for the “97-liner friend group,” V has the famous Wooga Squad, while Jin is close with chefs like Lee Yeon Bok and Baek Jong Won. Meanwhile, Jimin is also friends with many idols such as Taemin, Kai, and Ha Sung Woon.
Notably, beyond his friendships with fellow 90s-born idols, Jimin is also known for his long-standing close friendship with a talented actor—Lee Sae-on!
Lee Sae-on is one of the young actors who is gradually establishing his name in the кσяєαn entertainment industry thanks to his combination of striking visuals and solid acting sкιℓℓs. He first gained attention through television dramas and web dramas, particularly for roles with psychological depth and complex emotions. Beyond the screen, Lee Sae-on has also made a strong impression on the musical stage, where he showcases his ability to portray deep inner emotions and perform live singing professionally.
Recently, the friendship between Jimin and Lee Sae-on once again caught fans’ attention when the BTS superstar was spotted at the NOL UniPlex theater on April 3. He attended to support Lee Sae-on’s new musical, in which the actor plays the lead role of Na Jeong-woo in Hague. According to shared photos, Jimin appeared in a simple outfit: a black beanie, a gray hoo∂ιє, black-framed glαѕѕes, and almost no makeup. Despite the casual look, the idol still impressed with his youthful, charming, and approachable appearance.
Notably, this appearance came at a time when Jimin is extremely busy with BTS. The group had just wrapped up promotions for their fifth studio album ARIRANg and is currently preparing for a world tour set to kick off on April 9. Amid such a packed schedule, Jimin still taking the time to support his close friend shows how much he values this relationship.
