On August 7, 2024, a post titled "Giselle and Krystal are close?" was uploaded to Instiz, a well-known online community forum from South Korea.

The caption in the image reads, "I tried my best to take a group photo today." The user then tags their friend, Giselle, and f(x)'s Krystal Jung!
Korean netizens in the post were surprised to discover that Giselle and Krystal are friends. Though they both debuted under SM Entertainment groups, by the time Giselle had signed with the agency, Krystal had already left and signed elsewhere. Additionally, Krystal has not been involved in idol activities since 2016's "All Mine."
Therefore, they would not have met through overlapping activities. K-Netz believes that they might have met through mutual friends and became close since they both speak English.
Others think they became close due to similar interests and tastes; many pointed out that their phone case comes from the same brand, specializing in their unique design.
Many were excited to see the two so close and hoped to see more interactions between them. Despite their age gap, with Krystal being six years older than Giselle, people believe they match well.
Some comments from Korean netizens read,
- "Wow!"
- "It looks like they got to know each other through mutual friends."
- "Wow, I like both of them!"
- "Why are they both so pretty?"
- "Wow, Krystal is there?"
- "They match each other well."
- "There used to be so many posts claiming they look alike before..."
- "I want to hear the two of them speak English to one another."
- "They have the same phone case brand, so I recognized them right away."
