When Perrie first moved to Korea she was very nervous, she didn’t know anyone, she didn’t understand the culture, didn’t know the language, and her grandfather - who she usually looks to for her - didn’t know much more than her. Perrie ended up living next to San’s parents house. They met because San’s parents came out and offered to help her and her grandfather with moving stuff into the house. The start of the friendship was odd and wouldn’t have even been considered a friendship if they weren’t as young as they were. For awhile, neither Perrie nor San could understand one another since Perrie was only just starting to learn Korean and San didn’t speak English or French. However, this seldom bothered them and they created their own “secret” language. As the years went by, the got even closer and have an extremely strong friendship.
Whenever Perrie was having a hard time while being a trainee, San was always there to comfort her and support her. Perrie did the same thing when he became a trainee years later. The two are easily each others biggest fans and they make it very obvious. Its not uncommon for them to send food or drinks to one another or to see them at each others promotions/concerts whenever they get a chance. Their friendship is widely known and loved by their fans.
The two understand one another better than just about anyone. They have seen the insecurities and ugly side of one another and experienced that together. They also experienced all the good together as well. They have only gotten into one serious fight which neither like to really talk about but that was in 2017. Even though they do not see each other as much they use to, they still try to communicate as often as possible.

Perrie originally met Kevin first in the beginning of 2018. They met in the hallways by the drinks behind the scenes of Music Bank. Kevin knew who she was but Perrie wasn’t sure who he was since she had so many schedules and wasn’t able to keep up with other idols. They offered friendly talk while waiting in line and that was when Perrie learned that he was from Canada. This automatically made Perrie think of Mark and as a result she talked a bit more with Kevin. It was mainly in hopes that she could get him and Mark to meet and become friends because she knew Mark wished he had someone he knew from his home. They didn’t exchange numbers because neither had phones but whenever they crossed paths they always talked and acknowledged one another.
Through Kevin, she met Jacob who she had a harder time getting to know. He was very kind but both Jacob and Perrie weren’t the comfortable around new people so it took some time for them to consider one another friends. It was thanks to Kevin that they got talking and the three of them made plans to hang out if they ever had a chance. They got even closer once they all got their own phones and could actually communicate.
Overall, Perrie would consider them good friends but they do not actively seek to hang out. If they are ever close to one another or in the same event, they make sure to say hi and they do end up talking for quite a bit. They also have a group chat with the three of them plus a few other of The Boyz members.

Chuu and Perrie originally met on the set of Idol Room. They both went to represent their groups and at the time were the only 99 liners. Therefore, they kind of drifted towards one another and started talking. At the beginning Chuu was the one who started the conversations and kept them running until Perrie felt a bit more comfortable. Once she did though, the two became much closer.
Both fandoms know about their friendship and both have talked about each other quite a few times. Many people call their friendship adorable or just overall cute because of the way they both naturally are. They are both actively affectionate and whenever they are spotted together, they are always hugging or holding hands. They actively seek trying to hang out whenever their schedule's allow them to.
Chuu is one of the few people - outside of NCT and SM - who knows about Perrie’s disorder and she is very caring about it. After this became known to Chuu, Perrie felt much closer and secure around her. Over the years, the two have developed a very close friendship with one another.

This is a very odd friendship that came as a result of working together on a special stage. With this stage, the two had to spend a considerable amount of time with one another. The stage was quite sexy so Hui made sure that she felt comfortable during anything that was happening. Knowing that there was an age difference was also the reason why Hui made up to check on her as often as possible. As a result, the two developed an Oppa and Dongsaeng relationship.
After the shoot, the two kept in contact and do speak to each other every now and then. They send each other listen messages whenever one of them is performing somewhere or on a television program. When he went on Road to Kingdom, Perrie made sure to watch and send him little encouragements. They have met up a few times since then and he is also part of one of Perrie’s unreleased song that she hopes to release one day.

They met after Perrie did a rendition of F.T. Island wind. Hong-ki saw it and sent her a message saying how she did a good job and he enjoyed listening to her voice. This made Perrie very happy because she was a big fan of his music and because she was worried that she may not have done it the justice the song deserved. However, Hong-ki made it very apparent to her that he liked that fact that she added her own style to it.
After that, they kept in contact with one another and developed something akin to a friendship. However, neither would say it was a very close friendship. It was more of a sunbae and hoobae relationship. Whenever Perrie needed help with the industry or stuff revolving around singing, she would usually ask him and he has taken time out of his schedule to help her.

Hyuna was a sunbae who Perrie looked up to on a professional level. She really enjoyed watching her performances and she really admired her confidence and the way Hyuna presented herself. Perrie talked multiple times about her looking up to Hyuna and eventually word made its way to her. Fans of both of the girls made their friendship possible because when Perrie mentioned Hyuna it was the fans that made Hyuna notice. Then when Hyuna talked about Perrie, it was also the fans that mentioned it to Perrie.
Eventually, the two connected over social media and managed to meet up after talking for a while. Meeting her, Perrie felt very shy and Hyuna found Perrie very adorable. Eventually, Perrie came to see Hyuna as an older friend and someone she can lean on.
Their friendship became known pretty well after they did a special stage together. Hyuna has send Perrie gifts and food whenever she is promoting and has taken up as a doting figure in Perrie’s life.

Honestly speaking the two met through mutual friends. However, they developed a comfortable friendship after realizing they are of same age and share similar hobbies. While they do not hang out separately a lot, they do text one another a lot in the 99 liners group chat and in their separate chat. They only time they really do hang out is when their mutual friends meet up and ask them to come with.
After the first few times of meeting up, it became less awkward and now whenever they meet up rather than having to catch up, they just began where they left off previously. Therefore, there is not a lot of nerves about meeting up. However, if they are in the same vicinity, like with promotions, they do try to stop by and say hi to one another at lease once.

Neither are exactly sure how they became friends but it is just something that happened. The two debut about a year apart from one another and they ran into one another a lot at the beginning. Since they were of the same age, they both naturally gravitated towards one another because of the want to have someone the same age to hang out with.
They’re big supporters of one another and do meet up quite a bit but it is usually only in the dance studio or somewhere private. The two enjoy dancing with one another and offering advice to one another. Given the fact that they both debuted at the same age and around similar times, they experienced a lot of similar things and this made them even closer.

The two met thanks to Lucas. Perrie met Yuqi over the phone mostly at the beginning, but the two quickly met up when they had a chance. Perrie felt a little nervous meeting her at first, but as time went on, they were able to start actually talking and getting closer. While they cannot see each other often because of conflicting schedules they do support one another and will send little text messages to one another.
Its not her closest friendship, but they are slowly but surely getting closer and understanding one another better. Perrie enjoys spending time with her and likes her company so she tries to make time for Yuqi.
