They have mutual friends!
Ahgases (also known as iGOT7, GOT7’s fandom) have long known that GOT7‘s Yugyeom is a “social butterfly.”
Still, he cemented his status when, on February 20, Yugyeom held the listening party for his new album Trust Me. He broke the internet by revealing his A-list celebrity guest list, which included his idol friends, such as ATEEZ‘s Mingi, SEVENTEEN‘s Vernon, The8, Woozi, and DK, BTOB‘s Peniel, NCT‘s Jaehyun and Johnny, iKON‘s DK, PENTAGON‘s Hui and Kino, fellow GOT7 member BamBam, and more.
One guest shocked netizens more than any other: actor Song Kang (Sweet Home, Nevertheless, and My Demon).

Now, Yugyeom has revealed just how the superstar party guest list came to be.
Yugyeom guested on fellow member Youngjae‘s MBC FM4U radio show GOT7 Youngjae’s Best Friend. Yugyeom explained that Song Kang actually came because he’s a mutual friend.

Yugyeom mentioned Song Kang’s friendship with Mingyu specifically. Fans of Song Kang know he can be introverted, so they imagined that Mingyu likely had to beg him to go out to a party!
I just find this so funny coz knowing how Kang is, he doesn’t like to go out that much and I can really imagine Mingyu begging Kang to go to the party 😭😆 https://t.co/FddOrsKWoZ
