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.

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.
