BTS&Vmin analysis pt. 1 - An introduction
I have written a lot of analyses about Vmin over the years, but wanted to write something that truly shows how much there is in regards to their relationship. Vmin don’t have a lot of analyses made about them, but it’s not because there aren’t things to talk about. If anything it seems people might have not bothered to look deeper because you already see so much at the surface level.
I decided to put together a series of posts to give as much context as possible to my views on shipping and Vmin, while also showing the problems with shipping analyses and how convincing they can sound. I think that what other big ships have that Vmin haven’t had (at least not to the same extent) is a full narrative and scale. If you start adding things up it will always look very different to just noticing a singular moment on it’s own.
Before we start I want to be clear that I think shipping should be done for fun and that all relationships in BTS are great and definitely worth loving. I also want to say that I think the odds of a ship being real in the sense of an actual romantic and/or sexual relationship is probably not that big, but not impossible. However I also think the chance that members of BTS could be part of the LGBTQ+ community is very high, but that being queer doesn’t mean they automatically will date each other.
As for shipping analysis any shipper can pick moments that fit their narrative and build theories based on what they want you to see. As a consumer it’s important you know analyses are made by biased people with the purpose to make you see something in a ship or moment. If you watch or read analyses about several ships and they make sense remember that they are supposed to make sense. But something making sense doesn’t have to mean it’s real. Try instead to be open-minded but critical.
All analyses are created to make sense, so is mine, and the main point is that you can make any ship seem believable to various degrees considering the immense amount of content and BTS’s closeness alone. You just have to be good at bending the information we have (while also excluding things that might go against the view) interpret it and present it in the way we want to make it seem possible that a ship is real. That’s why at this point almost all BTS ships have not just shippers but fans who truly believe different members to be together.
That being said, of course some analyses can turn out to be true, but we have no way to know unless confirmed by BTS themselves. Even if some things might be true; like hiding in rooms, singing songs about each other or other suspicious looking things, that still doesn’t necessarily prove what kind of relationship those members have. Including Vmin of course. Even if parts of a theory is proven to be real, like sharing a room, it also doesn’t mean everything has to be real, like them being in the room because they are a couple. A lot of people interpreting BTS have already decided that reasons for certain behaviors can only mean one thing, which is what they want it to mean: MY SHIP IS REAL/SUPERIOR/THE MOST SUSPICIOUS.
Remember to be open to the possibility of being wrong in your own ideas and interpretations, and that the person whose analysis you consume might be wrong.
Reality is complex and changes all the time. Some things might seem simple in theory but work completely differently in reality. Especially if feelings and desire are involved.
Remember that all of BTS love each other!
