I've been thinking about how perfect jeonghan and joshua are as a pair these past few days.
No one can top them, SERIOUSLY.
First of all, they both have a good back story. Their predebut story is just...... Oh god, very heartwarming and wonderful. Everytime I remember about they predebut story, I am convinced that soulmate is real. Because look at them, there's no explanation that could argue that they are not soulmates. Everyone is obligated to believe that Jeonghan and Joshua are soulmates. Period.
They are truly the embodiment of Taylor Swift's Mastermind, especially this lyrics:
Once upon a time, the planets and the fates
And all the stars aligned
You and I ended up in the same room
At the same time
LIKE??? THIS IS THEM!!! both entered pledis around the same time. ALSO they both are streetcasted and CAN YOU IMAGINE.. they were separated by different continents??? and then they ended up in that freaking melona room??? it's just ... Magical. RIGHT?
everyday, i thank god for making it possible for them to meet each other and stay together, even after all those hardships. They almost quitted together but again, their determination to debut won. I am glad.
Anyway, speaking of "who's the mastermind?" I personally think it was Joshua. He was the first person who talked to Jeonghan and his first impression of jeonghan.... i think it was a love at the first sight.
Or you know?? Just them having that invisible string so Joshua probably had this "strong bond" for Jeonghan that push him to get closer to him. Just a gut or trust that this person is "the one", something like that.
Joshua: when i first saw jeonghan, i really thought that he was such a pretty kid. his skin was so white and smooth and his eyes were big. i was amazed that there was someone as pretty as him in korea. when i found out that we were the same age, i immediately wanted to get closer to him and be his friend. i also liked how hard working he was when we were practicing.

Okay, the second reason is their personality. At the first sight you saw them, you probably think that they have different personalities, like truly the opposite. joshua looks like that kind, obedient, simple-hearted, and brilliant boy. You won't expect him to break the rules or being a rebel, no. Meanwhile Jeonghan, he appears to be mischiveous, witty, kind but also annoying, and of course, a rebel.
Well but the truth is, THEY ARE SIMILAR OF EACH OTHER. it turns out that joshua is also mischiveous, witty, and a rebel as well!! even he can be more annoying than jeonghan! Yeah, watch going seventeen "best friends" episode to know more :)
Joshua is more unhinged compared to Jeonghan, everybody agrees, right? He is unpredictable and acts by impulsivity. That's why he could think of the craziest ideas than Jeonghan could. So, i also think he could be the brain of the "evil twins" or "witz duo". He always surprises us!
Meanwhile with Jeonghan, we can expect him to do some crazy or weird shits at the very start because it is what he usually does. He is more calculated than Joshua.
And this is what's interesting about their dynamics. They just made a perfect combination of the same weird, insane, mischievous person with a different way of act and thinking. Like, no one is on the same level as Jeonghan is besides Joshua. the only person who could win over Jeonghan is Joshua and vice versa. They energy is just matched with each other.
That's why you'll see Going Seventeen editor, Weverse magazine editor, Pledis staff, and even the members said "as expected, Yoon Jeonghan's friend, Joshua Hong or Joshua Hong's friend, Yoon Jeonghan"
if they unite, no one can stop them to do the craziest shit. They will surprise us with crazy and weird shit. They will do everything to get what they want because they are so competitive and witty and mischievous!
OH also i have to mention this too!!! even if they have similar personalities, they have different hobbies. Jeonghan is more a sporty type, he is more into outdoor activities. Meanwhile Joshua, he's artsy who loves music and craft. Isn't it cute and cool, right? LIKE they complement each other so much <3
They are the powerful couple that everyone afraid of and respect. They are the pair that you will be rooting for.
So in conclusion, you can find the soulmates, friends to levers, partner in crime, ride or die, even enemies to lovers trope and dynamic in them! They possess the quality of main characters, antiheroes, and villains with a good back story and redemption arc.
Yes they are perfect, everyone go away and stan JHHJ!!!!
