On April 29, WOODZ uploaded a video titled A Date With Jennie on his YouTube channel, inviting Jennie as a guest. Although the 2 have known each other for a long time, they admitted that greeting each other in front of the camera felt unfamiliar.

The video quickly drew attention as the pair talked about their first meeting, their trainee days, and even the surprising fact that they attended the same elementary school. During the video, WOODZ shared that he has known Jennie for about 10 years. Jennie also recalled that they first met at a high school festival.

Their connection did not end there. The 2 later spent time together as trainees under the same agency, naturally becoming closer as they went back and forth to the practice room like students commuting to school. Jennie revealed that WOODZ was the first to approach her, saying he wanted to become friends. WOODZ also looked back on that time with a laugh, saying, “I wanted to become a fun friend.”

The pair also surprised viewers by revealing that they went to the same elementary school. Jennie explained, “A lot of people wonder why we are close, but our connection is deeper than people might think.”

Throughout the video, WOODZ and Jennie showed relaxed chemistry that reflected their long friendship. They exchanged jokes naturally and showed how well they knew each other’s tastes, giving fans a rare look at their comfortable bond as longtime friends. Jennie also warmly praised WOODZ, saying, “He releases good songs, and it is cool to see how hard he always works. That is why I always support him.”

Their first on-camera “date” has drawn attention not because of romance but because of the easy and genuine friendship they have built over the past decade.
