let's get straight to business. this is must watch: 

(though i'd say the torture MC game in part2 can just be skipped...i find it boring personally...lol)

Because they're with two other girlgroups, this is a good analysis to see how different Rainbow is. if you can't see it...there must be something wrong with your eyesight....anyway, if i'm not mistaken, both 4minute n Secret debuted before Rainbow rite? but they really seem like the more senior group in terms of their behaviour lol.

some of the parts i love/just want to talk about...

- Rainbow turn into ahjummas n sit on the floor to protest...(how do i love that Noeul n Jisook followed to show support after Jaekyung started it...xD)

- i get it that the MCs are probly very friendly with Rainbow...so obvious from the way they always give bad remarks/treatment on Rainbow compared to the other groups. but that doesn't make it right for 'em to pull down Hyunyoung's head so hard like that. i don't think they'd dare do it with the other groups. with other groups, they're just taking the torture, but with Rainbow...they could torture them? ok.

- the constant mention for food...lmao. the difference in the answer when Secret n Rainbow were asked what Weekly Idol means to them...and Jaekyung's answer...and then the members followed, asking for food. xD

- when Secret came in n Rainbow just go crazy n both group have happy dance n shoved those guys away...haa, serves the MCs rite. xD (i think Rainbow members are especially close to Jieun n Hana but i'm not too sure...)

- when they're talking about which group is senior between Secret n Rainbow n Secret is revealed to be the senior by a month...but then they asked for the eldest...and Woori get mad...lol. xD

- when the MCs were asking for the group's good point..n they said Rainbow is full of fighting spirit...well...that is definitely obvious to see...n how SeungA said Rainbow's strength is that their minds click together or something...so obviously true...xD n Jaekyung's answer too...

- when Secret got stuck while talking about their good points n music...and Rainbow just cheered that their music is cute n the MCs said Rainbow looking out for Secret...

- and when 4minute n Rainbow got stuck in question that showed how they're really not close to each other..n the members tried to explain(well, the Rainbow members mostly)...Woori said they go to the same salon/shop...but they didn't talk much...and SeungA said about how they see each other in early morning with bare faces so...yeah...but then...Jaekyung to the rescue...ok, i just love how she just smoothen the answer for everyone...like a pro...definitely a leader. ><

- having the three groups together really has some awkward tension though...no kidding...random but i love Secret's Hana's way of getting friendly with 4minute's Jiyoon...it's like...'i can't be bothered...bye' lmao...SeungA as expected always so sweet(n weird) though...xD...she suddenly asked Jiyoon out randomly...and everyone was like wth...n the MCs complained about how rainbow-4minute keep mentioning the shop...lol

- when Jisook said about how they'd vote/write each others'(as in, their own group members) name just to promote/build character even when they're not really that good...but how they never made it to the list anyway n the MCs said whenever Rainbow talk it has sad feelings. n Jisook's like 'no, i'm saying it with bright expression' *while smiling weirdly*...xD

- Hyunyoung battle against 4minute Sohyun...and how all Rainbow members were actually cheering for Sohyun...omg...meanie unnies...poor Hyunyoung...lmao....but really...the tension to win is no joke...xD...but eventually she won anyway even in her feminine image n high heels...go Hyunyoung!

- Noeul...i really feel she is meant for variety even though all Rainbow members are kinda good at it...if dsp push her for it, i really think she could do really well.

- the torturing MC segment is boring imo...so let's skip that.

- and the choosing most handsome male idolgroup member.(they're not allowed to choose guys from their own company)

Jaekyung - G.O.D's Yoon Kyesang (lol. that's a smart one...but she was disqualified bcuz they want current idol...not ex-idol...either she wants to be safe, or she just have matured taste...hey i won't complaint. Yoon Kyesang is actually a pretty decent choice yknow...lol...n may i add i love how she randomly promote their song in her answer board "Sunshine"...go Jaekyung!)

Woori- Mblaq's G.O oppa-she wrote that (loved how SeungA explained about it n when the MCs asked Woori, "why G.O oppa?" she said "the fact that he's an oppa" MCs "we're oppas too" Woori "there's not many idols I can call oppa" -because of her age- and then the atmosphere went sad again...lmao.)

SeungA- Infinite's L (another safe/easy choice i think since he's known as the visual isn't he?)

Noeul - ZE:A's Hyungsik (omg. somebody choose ZE:A...lol...but i'm not surprised...i just think Noeul want to show support to ZE:A since she's friends with a few ZE:A members...n vote for Hyungsik since he's the one people know these days...just my guess...n when the MCs read their votes....SeungA was like "oh...that Hyungsik..." i really think SeungA doesn't know much about boygroup members...lol. Noeul on the other hand...knows a lot since she's like...everyone's friends.)

Yoonhye - DBSK's Yunho (another safe choice it seems)

Jisook- BAP's Youngjae (Secret seemed really surprised...i wondered if Jisook did it to get reaction from Secret or what....hahah...or maybe she's being honest who knows...idk much about BAP tbh so...)

Hyunyoung- Bigbang's TOP (another safe choice it seems)

 

--------------------------------------------------------

now let's talk about Rainbow n friends...

in Rainbow's international fansite visualglow(which most if not all of the girls followed on twitter n they've mentioned on occassions i heard...how cool is that...i mean, Jisook even followed the admin of the site which is known to be her biggest fanboy)

this is the list of Rainbow's friends...

Groups Friends With: Secret, Infinite, Girl’s Day, Jewelry, Nine Muses, ZE:A

Soloists Friends With: NS Yoon-G, Han Groo, Viki

One thing i noticed is how Rainbow members have same circle of friends....or share mutual friends with each other. i think this is one reason they remain close. like Han Groo, Viki...have definitely seen their interactions with most Rainbow members. as for NS Yoonji....she's Kara's Jiyoung's cousin...so i don't think it's that shocking for them to be friends. as for Infinite *scratches head* honestly...i didn't see much of anything...n i definitely don't want to see...since i've seen many mean/rude Infinite's fangurls...towards Rainbow for their several collabs/appearances on shows...so it just turns me off...though i've seen Korean fangurl of infinite member who seemed nice towards rainbow members...as far as international fans go....i have yet to be impressed n honestly...i've hardly seen any interaction as of recent...or yknow...ignorance is bliss...let's not find it n show me...i don't know how close they're to Girl's Day/Nine Muses...some of them follow each other on twitter..but i know some of Rainbow members are friends with Girl's Day ex-member Jihae. as for Nine Muses...i know certain members got friendly recently...n Jaekyung has been buddies with Eunji for awhile probly...Jaekyung is actually the 2nd person Eunji followed on Twitter...cool huh...xD...n Hyunyoung who doesn't follow many idolgroups on twitter...actually follow three Nine Muses members...as for Secret, i've mentioned above in the show's comments...and ZE:A...i'd say a few members are friends with a few members. i think at least 4-5 Rainbow members follow Kwanghee(ok that's not surprising)...but i'm a lil disappointed he's only following Woori n Jaekyung(what? i thought SeungA is your friend tho?ok fine kwanghee has like a million friends...he might forget a few...lol)...n friendship line with ZE:A is mostly built through Noeul n Yoonhye n maybe SeungA now?. Noeul is also friendly with some Nine Muses members, unsurprisingly. sometimes i just wondered if she's ex-star empire trainee or what? she's close to like every idol in the company....even for their undebuted group...Soreal...she's friends with a member....ok, fine....he was actually ex-member of dsp disbanded boygroup....so it was just a great coincidence he ended up in Star Empire(which i love...but tired of waiting their debut now...)....and lastly, Jewelry. i think it's undisputable, Jewelry is probly the group all Rainbow members are friendly with. especially with Eunjung n Jooyeon. while some members also seems friends Yewon/Semi as well. anyway, this is just shallow observation from twitter interactions n stuffs....of course they have other friends. in fact, different member also have their own circle of friends. some more than others as far as celebrity friends goes, some more low-profile/secretive. what we covered today is just in terms of the 'group's friends' as claimed by their fansite. just go click on each member pics inside that fansite link n you can learn more about their personal friends etc. probly.
