Taehyung & Jungkook

★ 6 poll wins 11262492 votes received

Taekook is the most-shipped pairing in the global BTS fandom, pairing V (Kim Taehyung) and Jungkook, two of the group's youngest members. Fans gravitate to their easygoing, mischievous chemistry, the duo members themselves jokingly call the pair most likely to get into trouble together, and the way their friendship shows up naturally across years of Run BTS! episodes, concert backstage footage, and behind-the-scenes vlogs. Much of the affection centers on small, recurring rituals fans love to collect: their fast custom handshake, shared hobbies like gaming and visual art, and their reputation as a pair that almost never fights. V has said publicly that the two have never had a major falling-out, which has only deepened the fandom's reading of them as an effortless duo. For fans, Taekook is less about any single headline and more about a steady drumbeat of small moments that, stitched together, read as a warm long-running friendship between two people who grew up inside the same group.
