first of all, hiii welcome to minsung nation (or also known as miso nation) ♥ i hope you're ready to let them consume you body and soul!!!! so the ship has multiple names: minsung is the most used/popular one especially on international stayville but you can also come across hanming which is more used by the k-side of the fandom (fun fact but leeknow knows about the nickname "hanming" which means he is LURKING!!!) you also have their Government Assigned name which is Boddaramji it's like a duo name, not a shipping one but one used by minsung themselves and/or the staff, videos editors etc and finally you also have "miso" which comes from the j-side of the fandom, as in miso soup and basically it's because they act like an old married couple lmaooo

for their lore, here's my favourite youtube channel https://youtube.com/@minsungchronology
OP compiles all their moments year by year and you can see the evolution of their relationship (platonic/romantic), my fav year is 2018 because minho has such a FAT crush on jisung it's a bit embarrassing and very lovely ♥
there is also the youtube channel "yongbokis sausage" https://www.youtube.com/@yongbokissausage/videos where OP analyzes each moment through body language/context etc. both channels are a nice way to learn about all their lore and moments, but one is more objective than the other

minsungchronology also has a tumblr where they basically share their thoughts on each year and this time, it's their own analysis and they share their opinion which is always nice to read since they are someone who intensely researched the subject lmaooo i like to think of them as a "minsung scholar"

on twitter, you can follow @/hanmingg and @/smolsungies which are two big minsung update accounts/minsungers! there is also @/boddaramjivids who posts translated minsung moments!

as for the fics, i cant share "the best" minsung fics because to make it short, it depends!!! on what you like, what you don't, etc etc BUT!! i can give you like my 10 favourite fics. i'm not saying it's the BEST fics, they are only fics i really love. of course there are very "big and popular" fics in the fandom that basically a large part of the fandom has read, then again, im not here to say which fics are the best etc

of course, it's in no particular order ♥
