Stans have like written full-length thought-out analyses on this shit
When they dance together itās the best cause Won can dance like no oneās business and Soomi is just trying her best but they still look awesome together
Gyuju:
Gyuri x Jinju
Both have two siblings
Both play guitar
Both are the two tallest in their group
Both do modern dance
At this point no one knows if the only reason this ship is so popular is cause they just have so much in common
But they do kinda balance each other out
Gyuriās the drill sergeant and Jinjuās the cheerleader
Hyeju:
Hyerin x Jinju
Leader/maknae stuff, ya know
Theyāre actually pretty cute together
āOh my god, they were roommatesā
These shippers will never get over the one time Hyerin made Jinju ramen when she was super stressed and helped her to take a break from working
WonderMod stans be like āI ship Hyejuā and LOONA stans be like ābut with who thoā
Hareum:
Hanbyeol x Areum
Hanbyeol can cook and Areum loves to eat so
Also lots of dad energy for some reasonĀ
This oneās only as big as it is from that one fanfic āIām Trapped in a Hareum Animeā
Shenanigan
Sangeun:
Sangwoo x Jaegeun
Itās a duo group
Of course itās a ship
Generates lots of enemies-to-lovers fanfiction for some reason
Sangwooās the flirty one and Jaegeunās the dapper one so you get all the cute shipping dynamics
AK6
2Woo:
K.O. (Kiwoo) x Woori
āOh my God, they were roommatesā
Scary but weak meets buff but softieĀ
Honestly could become real
I mean K.O.ās bi so
The fans feel vaguely justified
Uwu
Lites Out:
K.O. x Lite
Ah yes, the ultimate ship war: 2Woo vs. Lites Out
K.Oās stage persona is almost aggressive enough for Liteās actual personality
Jk sheās soft for like one person and itās him
Need to host a variety show stat
DeLite:
Lite x Luxe
Ah yes, the ultimate ship war: Lites Out vs DeLite
Fashion king and queen
They got that yin/yang thing going
Watch them like actually get away with murder tho
Labyrinth:
Miro x LuxeĀ
Ah yes, the ultimate ship war: DeLite vs Labyrinth
The thinking manās ship
Theyāre always the ones to sit back and lovingly shake their heads while everyone else does something fun but stupid
No one really sees this ship going anywhere sexual but itās got all the good memes so
Forget-Me-Not
Hanhwan:
Hanbin x Joohwan
That name tho
Poetry
Absolute softies for each other
If this were a fanfic itād be a slow burn cause theyāre so goddamn oblivious
Hanbinās a sex-demon on the outside and a cinnamon roll on the inside
Letās just say people suspect the opposite of Joohwan
Kim Woo:
Kim Gyeong x Siwoo
More leader/maknae
Try and make this one sexy and watch yourself get kicked out of the fandom by angry stans
This is why Forget-Me-Not doesnāt have ship wars
PINEAPPLE
Shinmin:
Shinyoung x Minchul
We donāt know how anyone let this happen
Theyāre cousins
Like not even distant cousins
I know the internet sucks
Ah yes, the ultimate ship war: Shincest or Mincest
Lots of pining jokes cause gEDDIT theyāre in pINEAPPLE
But yeah this one gets all the shame it deserves
a.LOVE
Jangyoung:
Gayoung x Tokki (Jangmi)
Their MV characters have a sorta abusive dynamic so
This one gets a lot of eyebrows raised
But IRL theyāre both just trying to out-care for each other
So the fics are either hardcore angst or total fluffĀ
I would say āoh my God, they were roommatesā but theyāre all roommates so like
Sungyoung:
Gayoung x Sungmi
The Unpopular Shipā¢
Oh look itās another enemies-to-lovers Sungyoung fic
Half the time theyāre both j chilling and the other half theyāre the literal definition of sexual tension
MiMi:
Tokki (Jangmi) x Sungmi
Technically leader/maknae but like
It feels different
Itās just really cute man what can I say
Theyāve got that tsundere/genki girl dynamic going
*insert meme man* Show ALL the affection!
GSG
Yangbin:
Yang x Sebin
All the chemistry, all the feels, and sadly also all the annoying straight girls fetishizing Asian men
But like seriously when they dance together itās absolutely golden
Yangās all flowing and expressive and Sebinās all sharp and aggressive
Kinda matches their personalities too
Itās just sad that so many stans have to be all sasaeng-y about it
AB Yang:
AB Young x Yang
Who wants to bet itās just for the name huh
But no itās low-key cuteĀ
You wouldnāt think theyād have too much chemistry at first
Theyāre like the ādonāt match on paper but perfect irlā kinda couple
More platonic vibes than the Yangbin shipping content
Kyunghorang:
Horang x Kyungho
Literally just Sangeun all over again
Everyone wants to protecc our precious maknae Kyungho from bad boy Horang
But theyāre actually both really good for each other and Horang just gets him ya know
You know what it is? Itās Good Omens. Thatās the dynamic here.
DGRM
Moyeon:
Moya x Doyeon
Also called Doya by people who are stupid
Should really start their own pranking channel
Whoās ready for h/c fanfiction~~~
No but seriously Moya has helped Doyeon through panic attacks a lot
Sheās tall so she can fit all the comfort in her
And Doyeonās short bc
Um
Ok itās just cute how much taller Moya is compared to Doyeon lol
Duanjung:
Jung-ah x Duanphen
Softies trying to be baddies
Like Yangbin in their dancing styles
So much poking fun at each other itās not even funny but like it is tho
All the cuddles, all the selcas with cutesy filters
And then BAM new set of teasers comes out and they look sexy as FUCK
Yufang:
JD Fang x Yuyan
No one wouldāve shipped it until the behind-the-scenes vid for Midnight Girl came out
And now theyāre just weirdos together
Theyāre like the Sith: One master, one apprentice
Yuyan is the dark mysterious inner core JD wishes she had
And JD is the stability and reasonableness Yuyan has been searching for her whole life
JD Aika:
JD Fang x Aika
Itās 99% because they kissed in a music video
But like COME ON THEY KISSED IN A MUSIC VIDEO
AND NOT HALFHEARTEDLY EITHER
Honestly gorgeous fan art for this couple
Not as much obvious chemistry as some ships but fans are always like āomg thEIR HANDS tOuChEdā
Yiyan:
Yifei x Yuyan
Thereās something about whenever they have lines or screen time together that just works
Both trying to soften each other up but in different ways
And usually succeeding
Theyāre just really good close friends ya know
The kind you could see accidentally developing a crush on each other
RFei:
Yifei x RJ
āOh my God, they were roommatesā
Ultimate good girl/bad girl ship
But secretly theyāre both just nervous wrecks
We know Yifei helped comfort RJ a lot after she came out and heard back from her parents so
Get ready for more h/c fic~~~
Ho-J:
RJ x Hoa
The actual baddies
*stifles laugh* hoe-j
Remember the āsugakookie with a cup of taeā jokes? Yeah itās that bad
Theyāre both just too sexy for the fans to handle so naturally what better ship could you get itās just basic math
Also need to host a variety show stat
Triple D:
Duanphen x DaO x Doyeon
Itās a joke ship that some people started taking seriously
Donāt ask, no one has an explanation
SET! (Korean soloists)
JZo:
Jihoon x Zo
Because Jizo is an objectively bad name (ok sure it looks fine but try saying it out loud)
Also occasionally known as Jezus
Lots of uncle energy (?)
Zo would totally be Jihoonās real life manic pixie dream girl if she wasnāt, ya know, a strong and badass woman with her own agency who also happens to have quirky hair
Mayoon:
May x Hayoon
Ah yes, the ultimate ship war: Do you pronounce it like āMayā or like āHayoonā
Tbh this ship died pretty quickly
Since weāre all pretty sure now that Mayās aroace
And like theyāre young, we donāt get in the way of their friendship
That iconic answer-your-tweets vid where someone asked āhow do you pronounce Mayoonā and Hayoon was just like āyou donātā
But for real they have the BEST FRIENDSHIP HANDS DOWN
PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER
Mesmere
Jaereum:
Jaegeun x Areum
The thing with Mesmere is that there are canonical ācouplesā in the MVs
Which were decided based on which members were like āyesss Iām so down for this conceptā and which ones were like āthis could be fun to try I guessā
Jaegeun and Areum fall into the former category
The shippers tend to be very kinky
So much smut but like most of itās inspired by Mesmereās original concept so it shouldnāt be surprisingĀ
Is there real chemistry? Who knows? Does it matter? Not to the fans it doesnāt
Robin:
Miro x Hanbin
The āthis could be fun to try I guessā gang
Everyone stans bc omg that ship name is adorable
If Jaereum is the āsweet on the outside, sexy on the insideā pair, Robin is the āsexy on the outside, sweet on the insideā pair
This one always throws AK6 and Forget-Me-Not fans for a loop because no one expects them to be THAT SEXY
BUT THEY ARE
Fireflower
Seiko:Ā
Seori x Teiko
Another tsundere/genki girl ship
Except the genki girl is surprisingly intimidating in that āsheās not scary sheās just hotā way
New fans never expect Seori to be the head-over-heels type
But she is~
Someone make this into an actual book please it would be so cute
Harumi:
Haruna x Mega (Megumi)
1 ball of energy + 1 ball of energy = perfection
No but literally they have so much enthusiasm
They could be a perpetual motion machine where they both just survive off the otherās energy
Opposites attract more like no I love Harumi
Firepower
Junto:
Hiroto x Junya
Obligatory main-vocalist ship
Surprisingly pure ship until you realize you just havenāt looked hard enough
Like seriously itās all fluff or all smut with this one
Irl theyāre fairly cute together but mostly because theyāre good friends
Good friends who happen to be very sexy
Yoshico:
Yoshi x Nico
The one fans actually care aboutĀ
Partners in crime except they would suck at any actual crime
All the memes. And when I say all the memes, I mean all. The. Memes.
Wouldnāt surprise anyone to know that Yoshi and Nico made all the memes themselves
They donāt like it when fans box them into a specific romantic relationship but theyāre also like āyeah we ship Yoshico tooā to be funny and cute about it
Flower+Power
Coco:
Teiko x Nico
The Cute Onesā¢
Sometimes it seems too perfect and you have to wonder if itās just an idol personality thing theyāre putting on because theyāre supposed to
Until you remember this is AWOl weāre talking about
Probably just friends but still
More food puns
Ah yes, the ultimate ship war: Coco vs Ho-J
Ryouna:
Ryouga x Yuuna
So #sophisticated
Shipping Ryouna is a wild ride cause like
First of all theyāre both hot as hell, especially together
And thereās just something about most Ryouga/Yuuna biases, they tend to be very hardcore stans (letās just say neither of them are the Jungkook of their group in terms of popularity so if you stan them you STAN them)
And they are well aware of this fact
And love to tease fans with like āpretendā kisses on stage or during variety showsĀ
Thereās just so much Ryouna content like who cares whether or not itās real
We all know theyāre gonna fall in love eventually
Other
WorldWideWoo:
K.O. (Kiwoo) x Sangwoo x Siwoo
AWOLās version of the Dinosaur Triplets
Sangwoo came up with the name himself so you know itās legit
All flirtatious bad boys on the outside, all surprisingly courteous once you get to know them
On their own theyāre genuinely cool people, but for some reason whenever they get together they all become the kind of person to (un?)ironically use the word āswagā
So of course someoneās gotta ship it
Kim Hyerin:
Hyerin x Kim Gyeong
The pure one
Kinda overdone so
You either love this ship or you hate it
And either way itās because theyāre both such caring people that it becomes an unstoppable-force-meets-immovable-object problem
But everyone tends to agree that itās at least kinda cuteĀ
Itās also funny ācause in Korea women donāt take their husbandās names
Hyesang:
Hyerin x Sangwoo
Because Sangrin is an objectively bad name
The sexy one
They did ONE performance on e.LIVE together and now no one can get over how hot they are
Ah yes, the ultimate ship war: Kim Hyerin vs Hyesang
No seriously the number of Kim Hyesang love triangle fanfictions is kinda insane at this point
The shippers love to pull the ātheyāve known each other longer, of course theyāre emotionally closerā card and then make absolutely no content that reflects that
Naozo:
Ah yes, the ultimate ship war: is this referring to Naoko x TaizÅ or Naoko x Zo
Of course itās Naoko x Zo theyāre so much cuter together
Naoko and TaizÅ kinda go together as the two Japanese soloists but like
Yāall ever justā¦ go into complete denial about other artists existence and just pretend that every song you listen to actually belongs to your paras and they wrote it and they made it and they sing it and itās theirs now what do you mean this belongs to a certain other artist thaT IS INCORRECT SIR CLEARLY MY PARA MADE THIS SONG FUCK OFF
Another intro ācause weāre feeling random over here at AWOL
Ayyy~ Itās Horang.
My real name is Somsak Anuwat, and I chose Horang as a stage name from the Korean word for ātiger.ā Becauseā¦ tigers. Why not?
Iām an all-rounder member of GSG (seriously, I got ranked third place in singing, rapping, and dancing in the group and am definitely not still salty about it).
Shoutout to my sister Duanphen in DGRM, sheās killing it šÆ

Areum: I like to piss people off, and what better way to do that than by waking everyone up at 6 am with loud noises?
This morning at 6 am: Areum blows her trumpet and marches all throughout the LHP estate, with Nari, Cocoa and Jisu following close behind with their trombone, tuba and saxophone blaring almost as loud.
I really enjoy story driven MVs like BTSās Run, I Need U, and Spring Day (not to mention all those highlight reels) that leave a lot of room for interpretations and I think itās fascinating with how many different theories and possible connections fans can come up with, but Iād really like it if the company or group itself would drop the real story or even hints after maybe a year instead of leaving us in the dark. I get really frustrated thinking about it.
