Which idols would make up a 'Friends' K-Pop version?

Taecyeon, Dara, Lizzy, Doojoon, Suzy, Jaekyung, Kangin

It's already been more than a decade since 'Friends' conclusion, but the hilarious series sticks with us to this day. Hello, how could we forget the timely question, "Smelly cat, smelly cat, what are they feeding you?" the iconic pick-up line, "How you doin'?" and of course, the key to having "unagi"?!

People miss this show so much that we often associate ourselves with a certain 'Friends' character. "I'm the Phoebe of the group," has become synonymous with, "I'm the weird one." "You guys are the Ross and Rachel of our group," basically means, "You two are lobster soulmates."

So that got us to thinking--who among the K-Popverse would make up the perfect K-Pop 'Friends' counterpart? Here's what we came up with. Check it out!

Chandler Bing ? Doojoon

Although Doojoon has a successful career, he has his own special sense of humor just like Chandler. If I had a penny for every time Doojoon made a corny joke, I'd be swimming in money. Sarcastic, stoic, and sometimes even endearingly awkward, Doojoon and Chandler always earn blank stares for their antics, but are also easily audience favorites.

Joey Tribbiani ? Kangin

Much like Joey, Kangin is a smooth talker who has a healthy build that any girl would swoon over. When Joey isn't flirting, he's bro-ing out or being a dorky, simple-minded airhead. Kangin is just as capable of drawing out them laughs, complete with a cute smirk and some unintentional jokes.

Ross Geller ? Taecyeon

Despite his devilishly handsome looks, Taecyeon is also popularly known for his dorky and sweet side just like Ross. Taecyeon, otherwise known as OkCat, has proven to be one of the smartest members of 2PM and noted for his goofy, adorkable, yet lovable demeanor.

Rachel Green ? Suzy

Like Rachel, Suzy has a like-ability factor that draws people to her. With her bright smile, laid back personality, and endearingly ditzy moments, Suzy would win any audience over. Considering her title as 'Nation's First Love,' I wouldn't be surprised if this lovely lady had a romantic streak to her a la Rachel, as well!

Phoebe Buffay ? Dara

Phoebe is quirky, straightforward, and super unpredictable, which would make Dara the perfect K-Pop match. With her 4D personality and random antics, Dara is Phoebe in that she feels free to be her strange self, and everyone loves her for it.

Monica Geller ? Jaekyung

Monica has a unique personality. It was nearly impossible to find anyone quite as uptight, energetic, and extremely competitive as her, but Jaekyung comes pretty close! A woman of many talents, Jaekyung impresses with the many things she can make--including macarons, bags, stuffed animals, clothes, candles, logo designs, amazing sketches, and even jewelry! She can do all that on top of being an idol who sings, dances, and acts. If that doesn't showcase how hard-working and crazt active she is, I don't know what does.

BONUS: Janice Goralnik ? Lizzy

Oh. My. Gawd. There are very few who can pull off the hilarity of those three words, and after searching high and low throughout the K-Pop sphere, we found a match in After School's Lizzy. Outspoken and loud, Lizzy calls attention to herself in her variety appearances with a sense of confidence, sass, and humor. And while Janice may be "Chandlah Bing's" worst nightmare, she's also an audience favorite, much like Lizzy.

What do you guys think? Can these counterparts BE any more accurate?
