[ZE:A Series] #74 ♔ The Complete Guide to ZE:A OTPs ♥ 36 Couples+ ♥

the complete list AND social stratum of ZE:A couples.

even if you don't know the details of every couple...at least get the popular ones right(not asking you peeps to ship them) just that....it's basic knowledge. lol. don't get jumbled up.

without further wasting your time on my ranting....let's get down to business...please be warned that i'm still a noob and don't know every fking thing. so don't complaint. it takes a few fking days n multiple headaches to compile this n if anyone thinking of complaining about the lack of preciseness or whutev..., don't.

oh...and 'The Royalties' is the only status i can confirm...as for the rest....it's simply based on my observation and i could be not-accurate....but mostly...yeah. the popular ones even hav couple names...that everyone will immediately recognize ~~n bow down to~~

and of course, by no means this post is intended to say they're gay but cmon...fangirls love shipping their idols together..especially same gender, same group. idk why...but that's the way it is...i do too, but it doesn't mean i don't ship them with girls at the same time. i do that, only that...i'm picky which girls are ahem...'qualified'..lol.....*slapped*.....so, do not judge n just enjoy it. don't be so serious. -_-

honestly..i don't n can't ship everyone with everyone(romantically)...yknow..like ot9 or sth...bcuz that feels messed up ~~omg infidelity~~ but as friends i'd ship them with everyone in the group...wtf am i saying omg? *judgingme* besides this is proof that ZE:A lurve is all around n not merely focused on a few overrated couples. anyway...

without further ado..., i present you...

the 36+2 couples of ZE:A

(no pairing left out)

(Please Do Not Hotlink)

and you're advised to listen to this song while scrolling.lol

(though the comments are fking annoying. will you little kpop kids ever learn to respect the singer n stop the lame 'XXX brought me here' kinda comments?)

---

THE ROYALTIES

(these are THE untouchable top popularity couples-like it or not, they're gonna be there to stay because everyone won't stop shipping them)

(and you most probably do too. well, i don't)

(mostly, they're shipped romantically...and you can easily find fics on them lol, maybe not so much on aff...but you can google can't you)

The top 2, honestly...i can't rank which is first or second.... their popularity is on the same level tbh.

---

1. KevSik = Kevin+Hyungsik

-main/lead vocals couple. don't ask me to elaborate,hmp, i don't ship-

---

2. SiKwang = Siwan+Kwanghee

-bestfriend couple. ~~most time one-sided tbh~~ i like them as friends though. just that.-

---

3. MoonWoo = Moon Junyoung+Minwoo

-tbh...there are some other couplings that probly has bigger/growing fanbase...but...i think the people who love MoonWoo hav quite strong feelings for the couple that made them maintain the popularity. idk. don't kick me if i'm wrong. Junyoung's a lil y and Minwoo's a lil too cheesy, so they became a match. lol. and Minwoo's also one of the members who were recruited by Junyoung into the company. -

=========================================

The Throne Threateners

-growing/huge popularity...next in line but still have yet to reach the royalty level-

4. MinSik = Minwoo+Hyungsik

- they've been popular for awhile...though lately Hyungsik's been a lil too active hyungwhoring that this couple kinda sunk down a bit. i don't ship them, but they're honestly freaking adorable, and both are major flirts when it comes to the hyungs ~~especially towards kevin n junyoung~~-

---

5. 2Jun = Junyoung+DongJun

-tbh i'm not quite sure of their popularity level, but they even have dedicated fanbase...unpopular couples don't have that. and besides, in most groups, leader-maknae coupling is a guaranteed popular coupling. idk why but that's how it is. lol. i guess they're kinda adorable tho it's still hard for me to see dongjun with anyone since he's too....not gay to make me picture his coupling with the others...while the others don't mind to be gayish sometimes...i'm not saying they're gay ok....just the adorableness level...dongjun is adorable...but in a different way than the others...how do i explain it? nah...let's not do that-

---

6. WanSik/SiSik or whatever the name is = Siwan+Hyungsik

- this is a fairly new coupling that got so popular...mainly after Aftermath period...where Hyungsik started clinging onto Siwan and hyungwhoring with him all the time...lol though they've had their moments from long ago.... i don't really like this pairing but if it helps my otp*wiggles eyebrows* why not? *angelic smile* *evil laughter*- tho honestly, sometimes i kinda hate you hyungsik for always trying to ruin all my freaking otps. damnit-

---

7. MinSikJun = Minwoo+Hyungsik+Dongjun

- here's a case where the otp comes in three. the maknae line. the mischievous three ~~who won't hesitate to bully the hyungs. lol.~~ their association's popularity is quite soaring. not sure if it had died down now...but yeah...-

====================================

Alternative Cult & Other Couplings

- have their own strong characteristics n followers but not huge enough to overtake the above categories-

- okay at first i wanted to do separate category...but i'm afraid if i get it wrongly...but the ones i will start with have more popularity definitely-

BUT the ranking onwards from here will not be strictly according to their popularity ranking. be noted.

----

8. Kwanghee+Junyoung

- the true BFF/founder couple, this is a coupling that has strong friendship vibe...and too adorable tbh, always silly together even though they have different personalities, this is a friendship i can see going on for a long, long time, n honestly, there's no freaking way you can not ship them(even if you don;t want to..like me*coughs*). they're just too real n beautiful *crying* lol...i still remember a predebut scene where kwanghee sang awesomely during practice after messing up once n getting more practice by himself...and Junyoung just looked on proudly...just...feels, yknow -

---

9. Kevin+Dongjun

-the eldest n youngest coupling, not to be mistaken with leader-maknae ok. anyway, i think they're quite popular...~~they're also among the serious/not-so-gayish ones~~k fine, i'm not so sure if that can be said about kevin....lol...but yeah...again, it's dongjun....not a great combination of personalities to be paired as couple if you ask me..but hey...that's just me...they're still adorable -

---

10. Kevin+Minwoo

- not as popular as kevsik but definitely popular/existing...or i wouldn't notice it in my early days of knowing ZE:A. i actually used to ship them for awhile...Minu is cheesy n Kevin is always game to play along with s craziness tbh.-

---

11. Heechul+Hyungsik

- another BFF(umm, rite?)...can we forget them? no. and i hate to break it to you(n myself) but...they're married T^T -

---

12. Junyoung+Taehun

- school buddies! n ~~crybabies~~~n composing /duet partner they might not seem like the closest pair..but truth is...Junyoung recruited Taehun into the team...along with a few other members Junyoung brought in. They're school buddies n Junyoung wished Taehun would be more popular aww -

---

13. Kevin+Taehun

- the sensitive couple. Both are very caring members who take care of the others n each other. n more on the quiet side. they have following and is an existing coupling i would say, even if the following isn't big -

---

14. Siwan+Heechul

- not too sure their level of popularity as a pair tbh...but....have quite a strong following. in fact, in aff alone you can find quite a number of their fics. anyway, they may be low key...but definitely noticeable n existing. they bring out a different side of each other...~~biased~~. n Heechul adores Siwan's cluelessness. he admitted that he likes seeing Siwan being in his own little world. ~~creepychul.~~ but he even tones down his ness with siwan(who tbh...seems clueless no matter in what situation n with who) but Siwan definitely has special affection for Heechul (biased again) i ship. lol.

---

15. Hyungsik+ Dongjun

- the maknaes! and also the tallest-shortest(?)-okay that can be argued with Siwan tbh..Siwan is probly shorter than Dongjun idk.....but whatever...these two are maknaes with very opposite charms but oddly...they fit together so well...i guess maknaes will be maknaes anyway -

---

16.Heechul+Minwoo

- the unique laughter-pair...if that characteristics for a pair exist? lol... they're both fun and have probly the most unique n memorable laughter in the group. i'd say 3rd place is kwanghee(though he always exaggerate anyway) n 4th maybe Dongjun. but these two are definitely famous for their laughter...and for some reason...they're one of my early fav pairs i used to ship too...

---

17. Junyoung+Hyungsik

- leader and maknae-who-acts-like-maknae. Junyoung, like Kwanghee, likes to being affectionate to the maknaes. and Hyungsik...really likes attention especially from his favourite hyungs. so there you have it. ~~n both are a little ...~~ you might wanna check out their duet performance too...tbh, i prefer hyungsik-junyoung voice combination than hyungsik-kevin...there's more layering/variety to the voice colours. -

---

18. Siwan-Minwoo

- Random/Playful duo. Siwan may have serious air on him. But he can be random n crazy too(especially before he became actor lesigh) n Minwoo likes to have fun...so these two makes a random fun duo. one of the early pairs i used to ship...i think after reading a fanfic...lol...never underestimate the power of fanfics ...though there's not much couply vibe tbh...they're still cute together tho -

---

19. Kevin+Heechul

- the idol and fanboy. Heechul is major fanboy of Kevin...~~and a one at that.not saying kevin is not a btw,he just hides it better~~..heechul's always showing his adoration for Kevin. -

---

20. Kwanghee-Heechul

- the variety duo. Heechul used to have almost as much variety sense as Kwanghee. he's like kwanghee's protege-in-training or sth... they're the members probly focused for variety though Heechul seemed to have changed n became a lil too serious n not as funny as before. sigh. they're both also the more outspoken ones but good at talking at the same time. -

---

21. Kwanghee+Minwoo

- the Tom n Jerry couple. always bullying each other affectionately. while minwoo treats kwanghee violently...he's very sweet n cheesy too at the same time...so you can't hate this coupling...n Minwoo always mention how he depends on Kwanghee for makeups. lol. Kwanghee lurves to take care/be cuddly of the maknaes n Minwoo lets himself to be cared/cuddled by Kwanghee so it works. though i'm not sure if there's any serious shipping for this coupling other than seeing them comedicly, i do find them extremely adorable tho.

---

22. Kwanghee+Dongjun

- the first 2 most popular members(in terms of time, not popularity level). naturally people would notice them together n acknowledge the coupling, if Siwan wasn't there...they'd probly have become a popular coupling...though honestly....dongjun don't do bromance mostly n he's way too matured for kwanghee...so...it's kinda one sided too...lol..poor kwangiee. -

---

23. Kevin+Kwanghee

- the eldest couple. matured individuals in their own way but become most immatured when put together tbh(especially Kevin..i mean cmon, who else can make Kevin show such a childish side? haha) despite the different personalities. sadly they're not that popular as a coupling as i hope they'd be. Kevin is the one who treats Kwanghee the nicest out of the members, n Kwanghee helps Kevin to be a lot less awkward, n more loosened up. one thing i totally admire is whenever Kwanghee does something embarrassing, other members would show embarrassment....but only Kevin would join in. tell me what that is if it ain't love. lol. as u can see, i ship. hard.

---

24. Minwoo+Dongjun

- eldest n youngest in maknae line. idk what else to say.lol. oh...yeah, they're kinda the dancer couple i guess? Minu is the dancing machine n Dongjun likes to make use his 'power' in dancing as well despite being main vocals...so sometimes you can see them opting to dance together...in certain performances/videos -

---

25. Kevin+Siwan

- the almost leader pair. both were candidates to be ZE:A leader...but Junyoung won anyway. both are extremely charismatic n talented n awkward...and admire each other to a certain extent...i wouldn't say it's a stretch that at some point...predebut maybe...they probly consider each other as rivals..idk, i just feel so from observation...don't quote me though. one of the earlier couples i used to ship...-

---

26. Taehun+Minwoo

- the low-profile friends. they revealed in an interview that they like shopping together. and seems to get along well together. and Taehun also chose to be Minwoo if he could be another member...because of Minwoo's thinness no matter what he eats. ok. lol-

---

27. Kevin+Junyoung

- eldest n leader. while they don't have much coupley moments together n both have too charismatic image to be easily matched...Junyoung actually recruited Kevin from Australia to join them. so the pair deserves some lurves-

---

28. Kwanghee-Taehun

- never thought much of this coupling...but they have some adddorable moments together...n get along well surprisingly despite Taehun being a quiet guy n Kwanghee the one with noisy image,not sure if any shipping/otp-ness of this coupling exist or not though -

---

29. Kwanghee-Hyungsik

- they're everywhere paired together lately eversince hyungsik become popular. kwanghee lurves being cuddly with hyungsik though...okay..tbh...he lurves being cuddly with maknaeline.-

---

30. Siwan-Junyoung

- idk what to talk abt them or whether the ship about them is there...but...Junyoung seems to like taking pics with Siwan...didn't he? ok fine he likes taking picture with all members...-

---

31. Heechul-Dongjun

- probly has their own following. idk what to say. it's Dongjun..and my mind blank whenever trying to imagine dongjun n bromance/otp,~~be a lil more gay dongjunie~~ -

---

32. Siwan-Taehun

-this pairing seems to be quite existing during the early days...before Siwan soared to popularity recently n Taehun remained underrated. some reasons i saw being that Taehun seems to be the tough guy n Siwan the feminine...in truth is, Taehun's the cuddly n Siwan's a lot tougher than he looks lol.~~i also think it has sth to do with their rip-paper/kiss game~~ -

---

33. Junyoung-Heechul

- not sure what to describe this...i've seen their shipper but i'm not sure if it's an existing 'couple' tbh...*runs*-

---

34. Siwan-Dongjun

- it's the Busan boys...what are you expecting? bromance? durrr... -

---

35. Taehun-Heechul

- rapper couple...and sleeptalking together...but strangely...there's nothing else much to be connected. almost nonexistant couple(romantically) i guess. too cool to even have bromance going on...lol eventhough they had extra time together when they're trained separately after being ~~fake-~~eliminated-

---

36. Taehun-Hyungsik

-~~almost nonexistant~~...but hey...they're the kin n gin couple...lol..if you know ronin pop..okay, the more i dig...they're not as nonexistant as i thought so...-

---

37. Taehun-Dongjun

- umm, muscle couple? idk...almost nonexistant(romantically). taehun is too quiet/reserved, dongjun is too not-couply-

---

and

38. Hyungsik+food

~~i ship.~~

---

so which are your shipped otps? ;)

don't be lazy n answer all...c'mon.

lol

can i just love hyungsik + food because really, it's the best ship ever xD

estherahn #2 Sep 3, 2013 21:53:54

it's too hard!!! but i ship kwanghee with maknae line. I love maknae line. And you are winning me over with your otp XD (they are not listed here, right? maybe because you dedicate a video series to them XD). Let nothing get in between Hyungsik and his food! Of course, i ship them all with everybody! Hahaha. It's hard for me to list examples like you did for each couple! I think I am too new to them. Even the ones listed above is making me dizzy; there's so much! Thank you for your hard work!

The only couple I romantically ship is HeeWan ^_^ BUT I LOVE DONGJUN AND TAEHUN TO THE MAX--their friendship anyway. I've noticed that Taehun takes the most care of Dongjun and Dongjun turns to Taehun when he needs to be taken care of. Taehun treats him like the maknae that NEEDS to be taken care of, while the other members usually treat Hyungsik that way.

pbcccc #4 Sep 3, 2013 05:15:37

they are all cheating to each other!!!! OMG =D
