How K-netizens view BTS ships

What I found really interesting is that the BTS ships differ in popularity as well as the ship names between the international ARMY and the Korean ARMY.

For ex, the top 5 most popular BTS ships would be (In random order cause I’m not sure):

 

Yoonmin

Taekook

Namjin

Vhope

Jikook

 

 However, Korean ARMYs ranked the most popular BTS ships (In order, according to a Korean poll):

 

Taekook

Yoonmin

Vmin

Taegi

Taejin

 

The poll had 813 votes, and Taekook won out of the 20 BTS ships, winning by 36.75% of the votes.

Another thing I want to mention is the difference of ships names between the international ARMY and the Korean ARMY:

For ex, the ships here would be called:

 

Yoonmin (Yoongi x Jimin)

Taekook/Vkook (Taehyung x Jungkook)

Namjin (Namjoon x Seokjin)

Vhope (Taehyung x Hoseok)

Jikook (Jimin x Jungkook)

 

But Korean ARMY calls them by:

 

Shoopmin (Yoongi x Jimin)

KookV (Taehyung x Jungkook)

Rapjin (Namjoon x Seokjin)

Vhope (Taehyung x Hoseok)

Kookmin (Jungkook x Jimin)

 

This was pretty random but I just thought that this was interesting!

Can you refer some of those fanfics to us? I really want to read them in korean, and after your comment of them being so fluffy and angsty I'm even more curious!

I am so shocked. There is no jikook in Korean ARMYs most popular ships. I couldn't believe that; especially that they talk so much about them. I mean they even open special cafe with the concept of Jikook. And in many videos I watch about them they say Korean Army says so and so about Kookmin or they saw them together....etc.
And I've never imagine Taejin as a ship to tell you the truth. When someone says Jin, I think of rapmon.
I guess I am international shiper after all.
I love shoopmin as a name.

I think the reason why it's KookV and Kookmin instead of Vkook or JiKook because Kookie's on top. /COUGHifyouknowwhatimeanCOUGH/ but yeah. /I need holy water/

I'm gonna start calling them Shoopmin from now on that's so ridiculous

Haha, I just looked it up in Chinese just out of curiousity and Taekook are called Taejung
Also, I always thought of Tae as the one who goes and gets out with everyone. Of course, Kookie is his favourite, but he still does it.
I also don't know where to find Chinese fanfic????? I'd totally read it
