As a group with the most members in YG Entertainment, TREASURE also has two leaders, namely Choi Hyunsuk and Jihoon. Both of them, as the oldest members, take the task of supervising the other 12 members. In fact, Jihoon is called the father and Hyunsuk is called the mother. This naming is done by the editors of the TREASURE MAP show.

In episode 49, the mention of the roles of 'father' and 'mother' became more prominent. This can be seen from their ways and small attentions in taking care of the other members. For example, when Hyunsuk couldn't help but get angry when he saw Junghwan (the youngest) accidentally spilling a drink while opening the refrigerator. Hyunsuk sighed and said,

"Aigoo Junghwan-ah!"

The editor described this moment as a 'motherly atmosphere'. When it's bedtime, Hyunsuk and Jihoon sit near the dining table while instructing others to get ready for sleep. Hyunsuk once again utters words like a mother, 'Friends, don't forget your blankets!'

It seems that the TREASURE members also agree that they look like a real family. This was acknowledged by Yoshi when he said, 'You are like our father and mother. You watch over us while we sleep.' This was further emphasized by Hyunsuk when he said, 'The last one to sleep cleans this.' while pointing at the dining table.

After the children finish playing and go to sleep, Hyunsuk and Jihoon, as the 'mother' and 'father', go to tidy up the kitchen.
