BoA with Pope Francis

u/Anni3401 Apr 17 '26

Ahhh BamBam met the Pope as well (though a different one)

u/BurnNPhoenix Apr 17 '26

Ah that's right as I forgot BoA was was Catholic. I think this was from the 2014 Asia Youth Day. Where BoA was selected as an honorary ambassador. Thanks for sharing this. 🙀💕

Why is bill Clinton holding her arm like that

u/Ancient_Natural1573 Apr 17 '26

Because it's Bill Clinton

u/Anni3401 Apr 17 '26

I've never seen this one before, this is awesome

u/Thundergod250 Apr 17 '26

Lol who are these people and why are they with Clinton. Only recognized Usher and Jyp

The older lady up front was the local Atlanta news anchor when I was growing up, Monica Kauffman.

they had snsd doing anything and everything back in the day

u/iSayBaDumTsss I’ve seen Twice Twice 🍭 Apr 17 '26

It’s as if they’re holding Seohyun back 😆

u/karspearhollow Apr 17 '26

She knows good shit when she sees it. Why do you think she lied her way into that job with customs

u/Chocolate-nest Apr 17 '26

Can you provide context to your comment please ? Seohyun is one of my favourites .

u/karspearhollow Apr 17 '26 edited Apr 17 '26

The event pictured was SNSD acting as Incheon Airport Customs Ambassadors: https://www.koreaboo.com/stories/girls-generation-activities-incheon-airport-customs-ambassadors-shock-netizens/

That's the official story, anyway. But I know it was all a ruse to enable the maknae's illicit activities (joking)

u/Chatbodi Apr 17 '26

Cómo olvidar el día que Seohyun apareció en alerta aeropuerto

u/Nocoffee_Noglory Apr 18 '26

True 😂😭 Hasn't she been like their ambassador/culture representative to North Korea before?? When SoKor calls them the "National Girlgroup" they really mean the "national" part.

u/ultimoze Buddy 버디 Apr 18 '26

Gordon Ramsay Street Pizza is next to Kwangya so he dropped in during his publicity tour in 2022 😂

u/Anni3401 Apr 17 '26

This reminds me of Yoongi saying "if Gordan Ramsey were here, he'd slap you" to Namjoon and Jin haha

*they, Uzi is non binary.

And unless you know beforehand that they've been a Buddy basically since GFriend's debut, this image is quite the whiplash lmao

And Yuju too! Yerin could not attend because she was performing at a different festival that day... not sure about Sowon.

u/Successful_Key8662 Apr 17 '26

When TXT were promoting in the US but got asked about a Trump rally in an interview…

To this day I still can’t watch this clip.

u/candybuttons gg obsessed idiot Apr 17 '26

omg I've never seen this 😭 wtf lmao

u/Successful_Key8662 Apr 17 '26

It was when kpop fans had mass-reserved seats to make the rally empty or something but omg this interview is such a hard watch I do not recommend at all 😭

u/candybuttons gg obsessed idiot Apr 17 '26

their faces in this screenshot 😭

couldn't blame them if they never came back to the US lmao

u/pwetty_brown_eyes Apr 17 '26

Do you generally know what they said in response???

u/Successful_Key8662 Apr 17 '26

IIRC very awkward “Umm” “We don’t know… sorry…” type responses, I don’t blame them I think they probably wanted the interviewer to move on as fast as possible

u/BackgroundSyllabub26 Apr 18 '26

is that conan???? from his ep with steven??? i only watched the spa part bro i think i need to go back

u/attaboy_stampy Apr 17 '26 edited Apr 17 '26

the spa thing was an even earlier bit than this. You should look up the Conan in Korea episodes. There are a number of bits where he and Steven roam around Korea, even at one point shooting a bit in the literal DMZ.

If you want to see the video associated with this pic, HERE YA GO. In addition to JYP and TWICE (sans Dahyun :( , she was filming something else somewhere else), you get Wonder Girls cameos

u/llllllllore_e Apr 17 '26

thank you!!! genuinely cant believe i didnt see this earlier hahaha

Red Velvet and Sabrina Carpenter (still waiting for that collab!!!!!)

u/joinallthesubreddits Apr 17 '26

So this is where Sabrina got the idea to kill a man in every music video, right?

exactly 🙂‍↕️

Plus the fact that his daughter is an exo-L💀

u/Foreign_Fox_8859 Apr 18 '26

I remember this, trump visited south korea with his daughter during his 1st term and the blue house invited EXO and presented them to trump and his daughter because they knew she and her daughter liked EXO

u/Maleficent-Fun7406 Apr 17 '26

RedVelvet with Sabrina Carpenter and Jackie Chan

u/daltorak Apr 17 '26

Speaking of Sabrina Carpenter, check out this stunning photo of her and famed Reveluv, Sakura together

u/Own-Friend-7882 Apr 17 '26

They look so different but I wonder if it's just the makeup and fashion.

u/daltorak Apr 17 '26

This was Coachella 2024 at the peak of Sakura's platinum blonde braids era.

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '26 edited Apr 18 '26

This would be more surprising with any other idol than Sakura. The amount of different things she's done over the years.

Super Junior Kim Heechul with Paris Hilton.

Wearing couple shirts: "I can't stop looking at my best friend's ass"

And in 2024, Paris asked for Heechul's Tiktok account (he didn't have 1 at that time).

u/arcieghi Apr 17 '26

Year 2015: Kim Heechul with Chingmy Yau, a legendary actress and the most iconic sex symbol of 1990s Hong Kong cinema. She’s about 15 years older than him, and he had long been infatuated with her from watching her on TV. When they finally met, Heechul very visibly blushed and got teary eyed.

FULL CIRCLE moment:

Year 2022: Kim Heechul with Ayla Sham, daughter of Chingmy Yau.

u/short_n_sweet_1989 Apr 17 '26

Wtf is the context with red velvet and Kim Jong un?

u/ApollonNike Apr 17 '26

This was taken when S. Korea and N. Korea was in peace talks. S. Korea choosed RV to perform on the peace concert (N. Korea's idols also performed).

Joy was missing because she was shooting a drama (i believe it was Tempted). Jong Un was known to like Irene so he kept getting close to her in pictures and wanted her close to him that is why she is standing away from other members but close to Jong Un.

Also you can watch their performance on youtube, they sang Bad Boy because it was their latest release (was a huge meme at the time).

u/Jacmert Apr 17 '26

Jong Un was known to like Irene so he kept getting close to her in pictures and wanted her close to him that is why she is standing away from other members but close to Jong Un.

Btw, Irene said that's not actually what happened 😅https://www.soompi.com/article/1303789wpp/red-velvets-irene-responds-to-rumors-about-why-she-was-standing-next-to-north-korean-leader-kim-jong-un-in-group-photo

Also, a bunch of other South Korean singers went there on the same trip, including SNSD Seohyun, Baek Ji Young, and others.

if i remember correctly they did a special performance in north korea
