Issue with searching for object property in array for JSON data type

[Glide K]

I have the following schema with value as JSON type

mysql> select * from people;
+------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| id | value |
+------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| blah | {"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"} |
| foo | {"key1": "value1", "friends": [{"friendId": "123"}, {"friendId": "foo"}]} |
+------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
I expected the query below to return me row foo but it did not.

mysql> select * from people where value->'$.friends[*].friendId' = "123";
Empty set
The condition value->'$.friends[*].friendId' seems valid since it works for the query below:

mysql> select value->'$.friends[*].friendId' from people;
+---------------------------------+
| value->'$.friends[*].friendId' |
+---------------------------------+
| NULL |
| ["123", "foo"] |
+---------------------------------+
So how come the query select * from people where value->'$.friends[*].friendId' = "123"; returns no results?
