YouTube channel “The Game Caterers” gathered YG Entertainment artists to film videos while playing games and interacting with each other. The list of artists included…
Sechskies‘ Eun Jiwon
AKMU‘s Chanhyuk
WINNER‘s Jinu (also known as Jinwoo) and Mino
BLACKPINK‘s Jennie
iKON‘s Jay and Song
And TREASURE‘s Hyunsuk and Jihoon.
At the beginning of the video, the idols all spent time talking, getting more comfortable with other before playing the games “The Game Caterers” had prepared. Their conversations ranged from how long they’ve known each other…
… to their training time…
… to their living arrangements. iKON’s Jay and Song were the first to acknowledge that the group was still living in a dorm together.
WINNER’s Jinu added that WINNER also still lived in a dorm at the time.
Except for Mino, who moved out and lives by himself.
The director of “The Game Caterers” then asked the members of iKON and WINNER how long it was expected that they stay together before they’re allowed to move out on their own. To which iKON’s Jay replied that there isn’t really an answer, “you just get a feel for it.” Admitting that it was probably around the time to move out to live separately, if each member wanted to.
And although TREASURE, YG Entertainment’s youngest idol group at the time, was nowhere near the “feel for it” timeline of being able to move out, with the way YG Entertainment treated their idols, they would not need to move out anytime soon.
In fact, TREASURE’s Hyunsuk shocked the rest of YG Entertainment’s idols by admitting that they even each have their own individual rooms. And when the video was recorded, TREASURE had 12 members.
Which they got immediately after they debuted, just by asking the company.
WINNER’s Mino couldn’t help but ask to make sure he heard TREASURE’s Hyunsuk correctly. Jinu felt the exact same way.
iKON’s Song even had to clarify that it was only TREASURE’s second year of being together. Jinu and Song both mentioned when they first started as idols, not only did they not have their own rooms, but they even had to sleep on the floor.
And while the edited subtitles for the video joke that the TREASURE members “made a mistake,” the change in living situations for rookie groups only proves that times have changed.
