On Thursday, March 12, a K-pop prediction account that has a huge following on Twitter, named @kpopprediction_, posted another prediction that caused fans' hearts to leap with nervousness and excitement.
It took only three words for fans to go into a frenzy. The account, which has over 470,000 followers, wrote: "Big 3 dating."
Instantly, fans have been attempting to figure out which idol couple will be revealed this year. It has been noted that the same account predicted last 2018 and 2019 the same vision, and later on, BLACKPINK's Jennie from YG Entertainment and EXO's Kai from SM Entertainment had been confirmed by Dispatch to be in a relationship on the day before January 1, 2019.
Also, on December 31, 2019, various media outlets revealed that TWICE's Momo and Super Junior's Heechul are dating. The artists confirmed it later on January 2 this year.
Fans and netizens have been expressing their guesses through social media then and leaving comments under the tweet with the couple they want to be revealed. Some also quote-retweeted the prediction account's post and claimed that they already know who's dating who.
Sandara Park and G-Dragon, a.k.a. "DaraGon"
Some online users expressed their hopes for their OTP (one true pair) and ultimate ship "DaraGon" to finally sail, an amalgamation of Sandara Park and BIGBANG's G-Dragon's name. Fans have been waiting for these two to date in real life for a decade now, and they can't just let go this little hope to come true. G-Dragon's ideal type is someone who can teach him in the areas he was lacking, a noona-figure who have lots of aegyo, while Sandara likes someone young, for she is childish at times and the one who can lead her. Obviously, it seems like they were describing each other!
Suho and Irene, a.k.a. "SuRene"
Meanwhile, some of the fans are also waiting for the EXOVelvet ship, which involves EXO and Red Velvet's leaders, Suho and Irene, respectively. SuRene fans have been watching the two idols for quite some time, and this might be their time to reveal their true status. Irene is known for her poker face, being dubbed as one of SM's "Ice Princess," alongside f(x)'s Krystal and former SNSD member Jessica. However, when it comes to Suho, Irene seems to be very comfortable with him. Irene is often seen distant from boys and independent as the leader of her group, but when it comes to being around with Suho, Irene is more bubbly and tends to be delicate around the male idol. And did I forget to mention that both of them have been voted to have the perfect face?
Jinyoung and Jisoo, a.k.a. "JinJi"
Got7's Jinyoung and BLACKPINK's Jisoo has been linked several times by netizens due to their cute and charming chemistry as the MCs of Inkigayo. However, fans believe that there's a more profound relationship going on with the two, which is evident on how Jisoo reacts whenever she's with the male idol. Jinyoung revealed that he's on good terms with Jisoo as a friend even off-screen, but their lovely chemistry can't help fans but to think that they will make a good couple!
If you're an avid reader of fan fiction or chat fics, then you're most probably aware of these ships (and many more!) circulating on social media, especially on Twitter.
And lastly, the bonus ship that everyone must know...
SM's Lee Soo Man and JY Park
Fans are trolling the founder and owner of SM Entertainment and CEO of JYP, as they were expecting the two to reveal their secret relationship. Of course, this won't happen in real-life, for JY Park already cheated on SM's Lee Soo Man after confirming recently that his daughter was born. Instead, fans are hoping for more collaboration between JYP and SM's artists.
