#sope analysis

I see a lot of analysis of many ships, but unfortunately there’s not many proper Yoonseok/Sope ones. Some of those analysis consist of content like ‘in this video those two members breathe the same air, therefore they must be in love’. I wanted to point out things other than ‘they looked at each other like this’ or ‘he touched him like that’. The things I’m going to list below are usually talked about by my fellow Yoonseok shippers, who pay attention to those two. I’m sure those things would probably raise more eyebrows, if they concerned someone else (because Sope is such a bro ship). I’m not claiming that I know for sure what all of that means. I’m not claiming that I know their thoughts and feelings. This may be just wishful thinking on my part, but Bangtan is all about clues and hidden meanings. Maybe, just maybe, they took that approach to their personal lives as well. (If you condemn shipping, or you dislike this particular ship, then, please, don’t come @ me. I’ll gladly discuss this, but I’m not gonna react to insults - and that happened to me before, because I dare ship Yoonseok. If you have nothing constructive to say, then just don’t.)

1. Creating the ship name

I know that some other pairings have used ship/team names before, but Sope took it to another level with their orange tracksuits, and with Yoongi mentioning Sope or Sobi any chance he gets. Seriously, why does he feel the need to talk about it so much? He’s like me, when I have a crush and I want to talk about them without being obvious but fail 😂

2. Matching outfits

Speaking of their tracksuits, they sometimes wear matching clothes. I know, that this might be for entertainment purposes only, but honestly, why would they even bother to match? I don’t want to overreact and read too much into it, but we all know that in Korean society it’s common for couples to wear matching stuff.

3. This V LIVE

It’s not about the live itself, because the members do them in pairs a lot. It’s about the damn emoji. Out all of the emojis, why would they choose the one with two boys and a heart? 👨‍❤️‍👨 I know I’m not the only one asking myself that question.

4. Hwagae Market

There were some posts explaining what Hwagae Market is and what meaning it holds.

There’s another detail: Hwagae Market Cherry Blossom Festival known for the ‘marriage road’, a cherry blossom path couples walk to ensure a happy life together forever.

Now, we don’t know if they actually ment this meaning, but they discussed something like this once before in one of their early logs, when they spoke about going to see cherry blossoms.

5. #soulpartners

We all know that Yoongi used that hashtag in his birthday twitter post for Hobi. I feel like this means more than ‘soulmate’, because ‘partner’ gives a sense of equality despite the age difference. He called Hoseok his soul partner again in Run ep. 16. The vlive translation says ‘He’s my partner’, but Yoongi actually used the word ‘soul’ as well (I noticed that after comparing what he said with the hashtag, I don’t speak Korean, I can only read Hangul). I saw gifset with proper translation somewhere. (pls link it if you know where to find it)

6. August 16th

We all know that Yoongi had declared this date a J-Hope day. It’s definitely special for Yoongi for a good reason. That day in 2016 he released his mixtape. It was the day when he bared his heart and soul, he came clean about his hardships and pain he had endured. Again, I don’t know if he chose that day on purpose or not, but if I were Hoseok I’d feel pretty freaking special.

7. Hobi’s birthday thread for Yoongi

The members like to post some throwback photos in their birthday tweets for each other, but last year Hoseok definitely overdid himself by posting seven; every picture marking one year they spent together. I don’t know about you, but for me it feels like some sort of sappy anniversary shit. Well done, Hobi 😁

I’m gonna stop here, it’s long already. Again, I’m not saying that I know stuff, because I don’t. Those are just some things that only happened to Yoonseok. Whatever they actually mean, we may never know.
