Both Leo and Xiumin were born in 1990. So now they are 31 years old (or 32 in the Korean age system). Maybe this is one of the reasons why they are close.

Xiumin and Leo also debuted with their respective groups in 2012. They both became idols using stage names. FYI, Xiumin's real name is Kim Minseok. Meanwhile, Leo's real name is Jung Taekwoon.

Many fans believe that they became close after meeting at the Idol Star Athletic Championship (ISAC) event in 2016. ISAC is a sports competition event among K-Pop idols that airs on MBC for the Chuseok celebration. At that time, Xiumin and Leo were on the same soccer team.

Leo uploaded a photo where he and Xiumin appear to be about to kiss. This photo caused a stir among fans and became news in online media. However, many netizens referred to them as a BL couple (boy love, meaning gay). Especially since Leo's initial caption was 'This kid. I love you.' But then Leo deleted the 'I love you' part.

During a V Live event, Leo explained that Xiumin is one of his three close friends. The photo was taken while they were having drinks and uploaded because Leo found it cute. As for the reason he deleted 'I love you' in the caption, he considered it cringey.
