The 97 liners squad from the K-pop world is probably the most popular of all. While cliques like Wooga Squad have their own vast fandoms, 97 liners can clearly be dubbed the in-vogue K-pop members. The 97 liners squad features global personalities like BTS' Jungkook, along with K-drama and K-pop star Cha Eun-woo, among others.
Born in the same year, the 97 liners also own a group chat, which gives an insight into their wonderful friendship, through exciting social media posts.
Many fans believe that the group was formed due to the close friendship between BTS' Jungkook and GOT7's Yugyeom. Both the maknaes could be called the co-founders who later invited their other buddies.
Here we take a closer look at the members of K-pop's famous 97 liners.

Back in 2017, Jungkook also thanked his 97 squad members, which fans didn't fail to notice. In a "Thanks to" section on the You Never Walk Alone album, Jungkook wrote, “To my 97-liner friends Yugyeom-ie, Dokyeom-ie, Mingyu, Bam-ie, Myungho, Jaehyun-ie, let’s meet soon and have fun.”
