The K-Pop world is full of OTPs (one true pairings), both real and imagined, for which many a tumblr posts, artworks, fan-made videos, stories, and more are dedicated.

When it comes to these OTPs, Korea doesn't lack for them either. A recent post by a netizen titled 'Four idol groups who get linked together no matter what they do,' has surfaced online, garnering interest. 


The post shares screen captures of the drop down results of the Naver search engine bar, all containing recurring names from four groups: EXO, Red Velvet, A Pink, and BTS


The captures have been divided into four categories, the first of which links A Pink's ChorongBomi, and Eunji to EXO's Suho, Kai, and Chanyeol, and to BTS's V.







The second set of captures links EXO back to A Pink and adds Red Velvet into the mix. Like how Bomi was linked to Kai in the first set of captures, when Kai's name is typed in, Bomi's name inevitably shows up in the search results. The netizen added as an aside that Baekhyun-Bomi, Chanyeol-Joy, D.O.-Irene, and Baekhyun-Irene were commonly coupled together. 



The remaining sets of captures linked Red Velvet and BTS members, with V being coupled with Joy and Irene. Red Velvet's Seulgi's name showed up alongside BTS's Jimin, and hers when you searched for Jimin. Jungkook and Yeri managed to appear side-by-side on the search results, as well. 













I mean...it all seems kind of random, especially considering that BTS, A Pink, and Red Velvet aren't even under the same label. 


Some of the top comments on the post read, "V and Joy seem to get linked the most with other people. I feel bad for them," "Their fandoms are big that's why. If you add in overseas fans, then it'd be even bigger. Before, Girls' Generation used to linked to everyone with everything they did kekekeke. Nowadays, Red Velvet gets linked to iKON too, probably because they're both rookie groups," "Sungjae with Joy makes sense because of 'We Got Married' but I don't understand how she is connected to B.I and V. She only held Yoon Park's hand once on 'Running Man' but they show as the very first item on search results.......and she still shows up with Chanyeol," and, "Those dumbasses who keep effin shipping idols together would ship idols for breathing in the same space. Then it's obvious that they'd be all gleeful over their ships and be all laughing on their asses ^^."
