Girl’s Day confirmed that there are definitely couples and new relationships forming at the yearly Idol Star Athletics Championship events.
During a recent episode of tvN‘s Life’s Bar, the Girl’s Day members talked about just how many couples can potentially be at a recording for the Idol Star Athletics Championships (ISAC).
This past January, 38 idol groups totaling 194 members participated.
Sojin mentioned that with all of the idols who participate, there are definitely a lot of idol couples.
“There’s so many people here all at the same time, there has to be at least 10 couples here.”

Hyeri added in that an ex-boyfriend or even an ex-ex-boyfriend may be at the event and creates some awkward tension. She likened the stadium that the ISAC is hosted in as a dating jungle.
Yura pointed out that idols look at each other with flirty expressions, but Hyeri and Sojin explained that they don’t become a couple just from that eye contact.
Idols would look around for potential couple candidates to have a “some” with. A “some” is an ambiguous relationship status where 2 people aren’t quite dating yet but seem more than just friends.
In a previous episode of Life’s Bar, DIA‘s Chaeyeon mentioned idols secretly pass slips of paper with their phone numbers to spark relationships.
