- You know your friends' business and keep every secret.
- You'll show up with snacks and a strong opinion.

Jeolchin is short for jeolchinhan chingu, “very close friend,” and Koreans also say bepeu (베프), from “best friend.” Friendship in Korean dramas leans on uiri (의리), loyalty that holds even when it costs you — which is why the best friend is so often the one who shows up when everyone else leaves.
