This is just a personal thought but I think Joy and Irene don’t get along well.

Idk what kind of expectations fans have towards their favorite groups, do they expect them all to be bffs and get along 24/7

pretty much every reveluv knows irene is closest to seulgi and to a certain extent wendy, and less close with the younger members probably bc of the age difference. I find that and occasional fights between members to be super normal. they are a 10 yo group they don't even live together anymore and prob only get together when they have schedules (which for rv are very few).

Also, even normal BFFs don't get along all the time. I've had intense fights with my friends before, some of them resulted in us going different ways while with other friends, our fights made our relationship stronger. It's just normal! Now add in factors like being coworkers in a high-stress industry, and chaos can definitely ensue.

Also, with cameras on the idols at any given possibility, they are given very little wiggle room in terms of their facial expressions or how they say things or what have you. They're expected to be perfect all the time, and when they aren't, people start speculating on even the smallest of details.

ATEEZ has had conflicts during their lives, even. One time, Hongjoong diverted the conversation. Another time, Hongjoong allowed the discussion to continue while ATEEZ worked together to sort things out. It is only reasonable to believe that things like this are common amongst all groups, especially behind the scenes.

Fights are a normal part of a healthy friendship. If there are no fights then either both parties are passive aggressive and will blow up at some point, or they are really not that close in the first place.

I'm a NCTzen, everyone in the fandom knows about the classic Mark x Haechan feud in 2019 where they couldn't even hide it in live performances 😭 and those boys are literally inseparable since they are the only NCT members who are part of both Dream and 127.

SM make it clear the hierarchy in RV.

Irene first then seulgi, whatever left of those put it on wendy, and whatever left of those put it on joy and if there anything left they gave it to yeri. They are all human, especially in the 10 years of their career and only few of em get the opportunity to shine, it bound to happen somehow someway.
