Seminsu is the het ship between Se-mi and Park Min-su from the Squid Game fandom.
Canon[]
Se-mi and Min-su meet each other at a remote island where they are both participating in mysterious survival games that promises them a big prize that can help them get a big sum of money. The both of them interact for the first time during the second game, Six-Legged Pentathlon. In this game, each team consisting of five members will compete against the other. So the contestants were instructed to form teams of five players. Se-mi eventually finds Min-su and they decide to form a team together. As Se-mi was asking Min-su about who brought him to the game, Thanos interrupts them, demanding Se-mi to join his team, that already had three members. Se-mi tells him she already was with someone, revealing Min-su was with her. However, they end up taking Min-su into their team too, and do well at the game.
Once the game is over, Min-su and Se-mi join Thanos' team and sit with them. Thanos asks them to share their ages and when Se-mi says that she is older than all of them, Thanos jokes about calling her "noona." Later, after they collect their food, Min-su asks Se-mi if she is afraid of playing the games. But she simply replies that she is more afraid of what's outside the game if she leaves it right there, as far scarier things await her. Min-su is shocked to hear this and remains silent. But Se-mi cuts the silence by snorting and asking him to not call her noona, saying that she is actually his same age, just that she told Thanos' team she was older.
The next morning, Se-mi pulls Min-su aside and tells him not to get involved with the rest of their team when they escape, as she says that they are "idiots," also telling Min-su that she joined him because she trusts that he would not deceive her. However, this changes in the next game. All the players have to step on a platform in the center of the arena. Once the game begins, the platform will start to revolve. Shortly after, a number will be called out, and the players must form a group that matches this number, enter one of the surrounding cells, and close the door within 30 seconds, or be eliminated. When the number that gets call out turns out to be three, Thanos and Nam-gyu approach the two and say that whoever wins rock-paper-scissors can join them. Se-mi instead asks Min-su to join her, stretching out her hand for him to hold. But Min-su, instead, betrays her by placing out scissors in front of her open hand, as he flees with the other two, leaving Se-mi behind and with the obvious possibility of being killed for not having a team. When the game is over, Min-su frantically searches for Se-mi amongst the players to see if she survived, and when he spots her leaving one of the adjacent cells, she gives him a disappointed look.
Finally, during the night when the voting was tied between those who wanted to leave the game and those who wanted to stay, and a fight to death breaks between the two groups, Min-su spots Nam-gyu attacking Se-mi from the bunk bed he was in. He tries to throw the glass bottle that they were given to his head, but misses, and Nam-gyu ends up stabbing her to death with the broken pieces of it, as Min-su watches from the bunk bed. When Gi-hun's rebellion prevents the guards from removing all the bodies, Min-su begins hyperventilating and becoming emotional upon standing by Se-mi's corpse.
Fanon[]
Although many fans of the show within the fandom have talked about the moment Min-su betrays Se-mi during one of the games as a very sad/tragic moment in the series, the ship itself is not that popular, having only a little over 35 works written for it in AO3.
There is a widely spread debate on whether or not Min-su "killed" Se-mi due to the fact that Min-su had watched her die, getting killed by Nam-gyu during lights out, yet he didn't do much to help her and instead hid in fear.
The ship's major rival ships are Semigyu, Thanmi, Shypills, JunMi, Semina and Namsu and it is mostly shipped along with Thangyu
