Yungi were already close even before joining KQ.
(Outside of shipping context)
Mingi really wants to be treated more specially by Yunho, because he once said that he feels most comfortable with Yunho. Yunho is the only friend he’s trusted since the beginning.
If Yunho hangs out too much with the other members, Mingi definitely gets jealous. That’s why Yunho also said he would treat Mingi differently, because Mingi is quite the jealous type. That’s also the reason Yunho often calls him “Princess” because Mingi is super spoiled and clingy.
In the ATEEZ+ episode, they were on a “date” together. Mingi kept getting shy and flustered while Yunho teased him nonstop. Yeosang even chimed in, “Mingi is getting carried away by his feelings.”
Yunho: “We’re already like a prince and princess.”
It’s so clear they’ve been together for 10–11 years since high school. They’re basically soulmates at this point.. extremely close as a duo. Not to mention how caring Yunho was when Mingi was on hiatus. Yunho often stayed by his side and took care of him.
Their friendship is really sweet 🥺
You can also see it in this video,, Mingi is so calm and gentle when he’s with Yunho, but with the others, his wild and chaotic side comes out immediately 😆🤏🏻
