The Ultimate Friend Goals Moment
GIDLE Minnie recently revealed how she treats her friends to concert tickets, setting new friendship goals. During a heartwarming YouTube interview with Girls’ Generation’s Hyoyeon on “Hyo’s Level Up,” she shared this incredible story. The Thai idol’s extraordinary generosity left not only Hyoyeon but fans worldwide completely amazed and touched.
A Friendship Circle Like No Other
When asked about her social circle, Minnie mentioned having eighteen close friends in Thailand. These friendships clearly mean the world to her, as shown by her thoughtful actions. Despite being a successful K-pop idol, Minnie stays humble when hanging out with friends. She shared that her friends often insist on splitting bills during their gatherings. Even when she tries to secretly pay for everything, her friends won’t let her shoulder all expenses.

The Concert Ticket Surprise
The biggest surprise of the interview came when Minnie talked about concert tickets. She invited 80 friends to GIDLE’s Thailand concert two years ago, which already seemed impressive. But last year, she outdid herself by inviting 100 friends! While CUBE Entertainment only provides four complimentary tickets per member, Minnie happily paid for all additional tickets herself. This gesture shows her dedication to sharing her success with loved ones.
The True Cost of Friendship
The financial aspect of Minnie’s generosity is truly remarkable. She spent approximately ₩10.0 million KRW ($6,960 USD) on concert tickets for her friends. Despite the substantial cost, she playfully joked about spending all her concert earnings on tickets. “It only happens once a year,” she said with characteristic humility. This revelation left Hyoyeon visibly flabbergasted, leading her to praise Minnie’s caring nature.
The Impact of True Friendship
Minnie’s story reveals more than just financial generosity. It shows how she values maintaining genuine connections despite her busy idol life. Rather than letting fame change her relationships, she uses her success to create memorable experiences for her friends. Her attitude proves that true friendship transcends status and success.
Living the Idol Life with Grace
What makes Minnie’s story particularly touching is her down-to-earth approach to fame and fortune. Despite being a member of one of K-pop’s most successful groups, she remains connected to her pre-fame friends. Her willingness to spend her earnings on creating special moments for friends shows her authentic character.
