Apart from the color schemes, these potential sub-units are divided up according to their original living arrangements in their dormitory. Suga and Jin were roommates and the same goes with Jimin and J-Hope, who are said to be living together even at present.
Moreover, V and RM shared a room while Jungkook was in a separate room by himself.
