As Mnet‘s Street Woman Fighter continues to dominate headlines, the most recent episode featured many big name celebrities that appeared on the show as guests. Out of the many stars, however, it was two specific artists that have started to make headlines for their reunion.

For this week’s episode of the dancing survival program, each remaining dance crew was given the task to invite male dancers to work with them for their upcoming mission. The ladies of LACHICA invited 2AM‘s Jo Kwon, while the gals of HolyBang asked Jay Park to join their performance.

While the appearance of both stars surprised old K-Pop fans, it was their interaction that brought forth emotional nostalgia. Following his performance with LACHICA, Jo Kwon can be seen coming down from the stage when he ran into Jay Park, who was getting ready for his performance with HolyBang. Upon seeing Jay Park, Jo Kwon went in for a heartwarming hug without any hesitation.

The history of these two stars go all the way back to their youth, as they both trained and debuted under JYP Entertainment together. Jay Park was formerly a member and the leader of 2PM, while Jo Kwon is still a member and leader of their counterpart boy group, 2AM. 

Due to their many years training together, as well as their time spent under the umbrella of JYP Entertainment, Jo Kwon and Jay Park’s friendship became well-known within the K-Pop industry of the time.

Following Jay Park’s sudden departure from 2PM and JYP Entertainment, however, their interactions became rare and fans were unable to see the two in public together anymore.
