HYUNSUK + EUNBYUL
FASHION ICONS
Hyunsuk is Eunbyul's mother. Periodt. Hyunsuk will fight you if he has to. Ever since he saw her in the YG office, crying because she thought she couldn't debut, Hyunsuk had taken care of her. "She's so precious, she needs to be protected," were his exact thoughts.
This duo has the best fashion out of everyone in TREASURE. Combine the others' fashion styles and you still wouldn't be able to beat this powerful duo.
Protective oppa #1. Goes through every single article of clothing Eunbyul has to wear for their stages and will sneakily exchange them with less-revealing clothing, if there are any.
"Oppa, how do you say fifteen in Korean again?"
JIHOON + EUNBYUL
BULLYING 101
We all know how chatty Jihoon is. This boy will use the most expansive words when speaking, trying to confuse Eunbyul. He loves teasing her and using her minimal Korean against her is his favourite pastime.
His teasing, however, has led Eunbyul to learn more Korean, so his tactic worked in a way. Jihoon forces all the Japanese members to MC for their T-MAP activities, and Eunbyul is almost always his prey because she isn't confident in her skills.
Jihoon will call out the members at their wrong use of grammar. But with Eunbyul, he is softer and kinder when correcting her, cooing on how cute she is and quietly explaining what she said wrong.
Protective oppa #2. Did Jeongwoo just hit Eunbyul? Welp, bless him, cause he ain't getting dinner tonight. No one hurts Eunbyul, not on Jihoon's watch. As soon as he sees the pout on Eunbyul's face, it's over for everyone.
"Oppa, if I ace this grammar test, can we go get ice-cream from your favorite shop?"
YOSHI + EUNBYUL
MODELS ONLY
Yoshi doesn't have to announce it, but every TEUME knows that Haruto and Eunbyul are his kids. The oldest Japanese member will make sure that his little ones are always happy and comfortable, even if it means he has to sacrifice something.
These two are always paired up for photoshoots and I mean, you can see why. With these visuals, YG would make a lot of bucks by just selling framed pictures of this duo.
Nagging oppa #1. The boys usually never see Yoshi mad, but Eunbyul sees it every day. Since she is a clumsy person, she is always prone to get hurt. Whether it be at the dorms or during dance practice, the day will always end with at least a small cut on Eunbyul.
Yoshi is always scolding the younger, telling her to be more careful and getting even angrier when she doesn't listen and ends up getting hurt.
"Ah, Yoshi-kun! Let go of my ear! I swear the wall wasn't there before I walked into it!"
JUNKYU + EUNBYUL
SMILEY BABIES
Ever seen a baby babying a baby? Yeah, that's this duo right here. All new TEUMES would have a hard time figuring out who the real maknae is whenever these two are together.
Eunbyul is Junkyu's personal cheerleader, especially since the others like teasing him. "KIM JUNKYU, FIGHTING!" would be her tagline, if she had one.
Junkyu hates that Eunbyul is taller than him, but that doesn't stop him from carrying her whenever possible. Eunbyul turns into a literal baby around Junkyu, and TEUMES are truly living to see their interactions.
"Please put me down, oppa. It's embarrassing."
MASHIHO + EUNBYUL
KKIJORING!
Small boy, tall girl. That sums up everything.
Even when seated, Eunbyul is the same height as Mashiho, which makes him a pouty mess. The boys enjoy seeing these two interact, especially when Mashiho gets mad at Eunbyul.
These two are the naturally cutest members, except that Mashiho is comfortable with aegyo whereas Eunbyul isn't. Mashiho loves speaking in Japanese and Korean at the same time, causing Eunbyul to malfunction.
Nagging oppa #2. All the members always come to Eunbyul's room, making a mess before leaving. She just gave up on cleaning it every day, settling for weekly cleanups.
Nope, not when Mashiho is there. Cue Mashiho entering Eunbyul's room, banging pots and pans as he orders the girl on what to do, leaving the room only when it is evaluated by the God of Cleanliness himself.
"Those pants don'tmake you look short, Shiho-kun. I make you look short."
JAEHYUK + EUNBYUL
BEST FRIENDS FOREVER
A word that would describe this duo perfectly would be; soulmates. Ever since Eunbyul moved to Korea and attended the same school as him, they have been inseparable. In 4th grade, when she was too scared to go to class and clung onto her brothers, Jaehyuk had offered to take her inside, despite his middle school building being a little further away.
Ever since then, Jaehyuk always took the little Eunbyul to her class, and the two became cute besties. When she was in 6th and Jaehyuk in 10th, the two got scouted at the same time, but only Jaehyuk left to train. The two lost contact and another year later, Eunbyul got scouted again, and joined SM, where she coincidentally bumped into Jaehyuk.
After training for 6 months, the two joined YG. They consider themselves to be soulmates, seeing as even though they have a 4-year age gap, they stuck together throughout everything.
"You are my soulmate."
ASAHI + EUNBYUL
MEME GENERATORS
One of these days, YG staff members are going to put a ban on having these two sit together. If TEUMES had a meme gallery, it would mainly be pictures of Asahi and Eunbyul.
When these two are not being crackheads together, they would make music. Asahi enjoys going through Eunbyul's short demos and getting inspired by them to make new songs. Asahi loves having Eunbyul sing the songs he makes as he admires the unique vocal range the younger has.
TEUMES noticed Asahi is always smiling whenever Eunbyul is near him. One viral moment was when Eunbyul noticed Asahi was nervous when they were in Music Bank and changed places with Jaehyuk to stand next to Asahi. She held his hand, instantly bringing a smile on his face, and Asahi mentioned it in their vlogs, stating how thankful he was for Eunbyul at that moment.
"Oppas! Stop covering Sahi-kun's face! Let him do his thing!"
YEDAM + EUNBYUL
HAPPY CRITICS
These two work hard every day and share the same motto; "Be better than what you were yesterday." They always strive to be the best they can for their TEUMES and make sure that their fans only see the best of them.
After finding Eunbyul practice till late at night and seeing her hurt herself in the process, Yedam pointed out that she was being too harsh on herself. Eunbyul called him out on practicing his vocals till he strained his voice, telling him he was working too hard as well.
From that day onwards, they decided they would monitor and criticize each other as they were less likely to be harsh on each other since they were only pessimistic about themselves.
They don't really talk much other than when monitoring each other, but they completely understand everything the other feels, even though no words need to be exchanged. When she joined the group, Yedam made her feel welcomed and wanted, and for that, she would forever be grateful for him.
"We'll practice only till 10, oppa. No more staying till early in the morning."
DOYOUNG + EUNBYUL
DANCE MACHINES
Eunbyul will hype Doyoung into dancing anytime, anywhere, and Doyoung will do the same. If there's music playing, they will start randomly dancing, turning wherever they are into a concert venue.
In their photoshoots together, the staff always play music, knowing the end product will be something great. They always have fun together and consider themselves to be the same age, talking casually with each other.
Doyoung isn't confident in English and Eunbyul isn't confident in Korean, so they help each other whenever they can. Doyoung helps Eunbyul in her homework, especially the Korean essays she isn't fond of.
"Okay, Doyoungie. You do this essay on the Joseon dynasty and I'll do your English assignment."
HARUTO + EUNBYUL
TALL BABIES
The only member she never fails to use honorifics with.
Protective oppa #3. This boy will do anything in his power to protect Eunbyul from the harsh world. They relate to each other a lot, mainly about their choice to become idols.
Haruto became an idol because he wanted to support his family and his mum was a YG fanatic; it was never a dream of his. Likewise, Eunbyul became an idol because her late mother always wanted her daughter to be part of an idol group.
Eunbyul is the second tallest member in the group, with Haruto being first. He is always back-hugging Eunbyul, resting his chin on her shoulder, looking like the definition of a k-drama couple.
Haruto is the only member who has seen Eunbyul cry - other than Jaehyuk - which shocked him as she was like an energizer bunny to the group, always smiling. With the happiness she had, it never occurred to Haruto (or the others) that Eunbyul too can get sad and cry.
These two are the most shipped duo in the group, and with the way they act at times, it is reasonable they are. These two are the biggest flirts in TREASURE, especially with their fans. The others always have to pay attention to them to make sure they don't get carried away whenever they interact with the fans.
"Haru-kun, stop throwing away my ripped jeans! They are supposed to have rips, it's called fashion!"
JEONGWOO + EUNBYUL
DO YOU WANT TO DIE?!
Two words; chaotic evil. The aura Eunbyul has whenever she is with Jeongwoo is completely different. No one ticks off Jeongwoo as much as Eunbyul does, and it's the same with her. They have so much pent up anger which is only released when they are with each other.
But at the same time, they truly love each other to bits. Though she doesn't mind with the others, Jeongwoo is the only member Eunbyul would willingly allow to cuddle with her without any grumbling.
Protective oppa #4. Jeongwoo is always behind Eunbyul, knowing she was a clumsy person and could fall or get hurt. And he has saved her frequently, holding her up before she fell, especially on the stage.
Likewise, whenever they are out or going through crowds, Eunbyul always holds Jeongwoo's hand as he always gets lost because of his terrible sense of direction.
"Take a bite from my sandwich and I will not hesitate to stab you with this spork!"
JUNGHWAN + EUNBYUL
TWINSIES!
These babies were born on the same day, but Junghwan insists he's older since he was born in Korea, regardless of the time Eunbyul was born. They've went through everything together, whether it be good or bad. From suffering through online school to having crises when there's no milk in the fridge, they have been by each other's side.
The two open up to each other about everything, mainly because they are the same age. They find that confiding in each other – especially about the troubles faced by their members – is reassuring.
Junghwan loves teasing Eunbyul, but she has the ace card on her that always works. She's taller than Junghwan, and as soon as he teases her, she does the same, mocking his height.
"Ay, you want me to call you oppa?! Look at you, you are literally shorter than me!"
