Do you think there is jealousy among idol friends over popularity?

of course hon

TOTALLY

Yes for sure

Yes, in fact I won't even be surprised if any of them was behind other idols' scandal. Their whole careers are all about popularity so as human being the answer is as clear as crystal.

Might be. IDK who the friends of for example ONEWE are but when Yonghoon said he hates how unpopular the band is and that he might leaves the band in the future cause of this, if he has friends who are more successfull than him than I could maybe see that someone like him might be jealous

That's human, it exist not only in kpop but everywhere. Hollywood actors are used to it, especially the ones that look like actors that are more famous than them. Some enjoy being anonymous while doing what they love though

obviously

jealousy is part of being a human is natural as with happiness and any other emotion

afcorse

of course there is but the question is what does an idol do about such...

Yes there will almost always be. How they handle it is the key to long term success, same in any team oriented activity

I’m sure it’s there even among group members

Quote from Lulu_Key

Intresting notion

like they call dispatch if they find out their buddy is dating?

All sorts of potential scandals, I guess? Mina created a whole dramas for Jimin and other AoA members right after the group's popularity increased because of queendom. If she bravely doing this publicly, who knows what happen behind the screen.
