About Vmin

Vmin pairs V (Kim Taehyung) and Jimin, BTS's two 1995-born members, whose friendship predates the group itself. Both attended Korean Arts High School and met during their trainee days, and fans frequently describe them as 'soulmates' thanks to their notably open, affectionate, and longstanding bond. The ship's centerpiece is 'Friends,' a duet on 'Map of the Soul: 7' that the two helped write and produce about their own friendship, a rare case of members making a song explicitly about each other. Fans also point to landmark group appearances like the Idol Star Athletics Championships, where their interactions were endlessly compiled. For fans, Vmin is the warm '95-liner' duo, two friends who came up together before BTS and have stayed close ever since.

'Vmin' merges V and 'min' (Jimin). Fans ship them for their pre-debut friendship, their '95-liner' bond, and the self-written duet 'Friends', often calling them soulmates within the fandom.
