i remember people discussed here about irene and zzinu (i don't know his actual name sorry), two of hobi's closest friends that were seen with him in the jack in the box listening party and i found this post on facebook about some of his other queer friends and in the first picture it looks like zzinu was at a parade for pride month, i tried to find more info about it on twitter but i couldnt find anything, but he's photographer, i would be more surprised if he was straight and hobi's dancer too, so even if he's not queer i wouldnt be surprised if the majority of his friends consisted of queer people https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=815789206659453&set=pb.100046851436743.-2207520000.&type=3

hello everybody!!

It's interesting how in the first pic she looks much more similar to her older sister that everyone says looks nothing like her now

Not only is it unlikely for Hong Seokcheon to out anybody since he knows from experience how tough it is to be openly gay, Korea has very intense anti-defamation laws that allow people to sue over statements that are considered damaging to their reputation, even if said statements are true. Outing an idol could easily fall into that category & might result in serious legal repercussions. Apocryphally that's one of the reasons Dispatch has never revealed any gay dating scandals. Tbh I'm neutral about RPS and kinda enjoyed stumbling upon the unhinged takes those two would post since it reminded me of late 00s/early 10s tumblr where people posted absolutely anything with no fear, but it was an inevitability that being THAT horny on main would blow up in their faces. Not a matter of if, just a matter of when. ZB1 fandom is really odd-- a lot of zeroses seem to ship Haobin but at the same time don't want to get tainted with the RPSer stigma. You see people claiming that Hao and Hanbin are soulmates/destined/perfect matches/etc, very romantic sentiments, but they always emphasize that they only mean it in a platonic besties way!! Then you have people who want to hide all hints of ZB1's past queerness and downplay Haobin to avoid hatred/scandals, who end up tacitly homophobic in the process. The whole "Hao imitating Hanbin's mother dance is offensive" thing from a few days ago was a good example of the latent homophobia lurking in certain parts of ZB1 fandom. A fandom with a lot of growing pains, for sure. (As for me, I'm just here for Ricky )

For me

There are always some small bits and pieces that come up once in a while that could point toward Hoseok being part of the community. I'd be interested in seeing all these moments put together in a thread to see what we are looking at. I really think there is a possibility that he isn't straight, everything we could count as a possible receipt is just vague enough for us to guess around.

I put both 1-2 and 3-4 gen because I am a dumb idiot and for the past 10 years I thought I was listening to 3rd gen groups when in fact all the groups I loved were 2nd gen I am also going to my ever first concert next month to see Taemin and WayV at KCON, and tried to get into the WayV high touch but tickets sold out in literally 1 minute

No bingo We just getting old. I feel the same.

Ahh same. I've all but lost interest in 4th gen. I like some songs here and there like Purple Kiss but not the big groups like NJ, LS etc

I'd say so. She was also at an event early this year.

KOYA @Nelkoya has been the backbone of the events team for years at this point and I'm very sure the entire forum will be sad to see her go. Throughout her time as coordinator she has led the forum through many interesting and engaging events, both large and small. She is a user very well loved and held dear by many, so please wish her a lot of luck and love going forward with her future endeavors! ♡ REI @Reipaca is another member who has always put her best efforts into events and the graphics that come with it. After participating in countless major events and bringing her incredible talents to the table, she has decided to move on. But don't worry, you can still find her with graphics team helping to beautify the forum and spread the Seok Matthew agenda MOON GIN @Moon Gin is another user loved by many, and was especially known for her fun Endless Fog games! Despite not being active for quite a while, everyone looks back on her contributions with fond memories and in the hopes that one day she will return! Please welcome them into the Hall OH Fame with warm wishes! Because of the inactivity of a few other members, I will be completely taking over the events team as coordinator, and I hope that you will all look forward to what we as a team have to bring you in the future. ♡

Congrats to them!

seeing this on my tl nearly sent me into a panic bc it was posted shortly after a bunch of haobin articles went up on naver (bc of their ending fairy together) little ramble up ahead: edit: linking this vid bc it's just too cute

is there any clip/proof of HSC saying that? I wouldn't trust an RPS shipper of all people no offense

as the ceo of gays i can safely confirm that yeonbin is real, take care dear x

was looking through some older idols instagrams and found out that last month kevin woo performed at an event in support of pride so i thought that was nice, i think he was mentioned here a lot more some years ago. https://www.instagram.com/p/Ctz2U_quSJY/?img_index=1 https://www.instagram.com/p/Ct7lm9nApyw/

I saw a TikTok yesterday that compared EXO's photos from 2013 and 2023, and the changes are really subtle. Mostly small eye tweaks, like epicanthoplasty, and fillers. Probably some nose refinements as well but it was hard to tell from the angle and the quality of the pictures. I'd say they got most of their work done pre-debut and judging by Baekhyun's or Chinese line's pre-debut pictures there was a LOT of it Someone here has to have a full list already or the free time to analyze all of the members

Doing my part to revive this thread, since I used to be quite active for a bit but then keeping up with most groups became too tiresome: Does anyone else think that the Exo members' faces stayed surprisingly constistent over the years and their procedures quite subtle compared to other SM senior artists? In honor of their recent comeback I fell down the rabbit hole again and rewatched a bunch of their old MVs for the first time in a while and it seems the most defining changes happened either predebut or during their first two years. Like I realized that Chen actually debuted with his original square jaw and only seemed to have his eyes done at debut (shame about the jaw, double eyelids alone already made him look enough like an idol) and Suho's nose job around Overdose was surprisingly obvious. Like I knew that happened but in direct comparison it kinda caught me off guard. Not that they didn't get anything else done over the course of their careers (some members *cough*Suho*cough* do tend to look a bit waxy at times), but compared to like, Taeyeon who was just mentioned I think they still look rather fresh and had genuinely good work done. This is not a dig at Taeyeon btw, she's my ultimate bias but by getting rid of most of her bone structure she manages to look somehow 16 and 40 at the same time imo. I just hope the need to look perfect doesn't get to the Exo members as they age and they keep their touch ups subtle. Might do a follow up post about the members if I feel like it, we haven't had one in many years.

Not the first time i say this but every time i see side by side comparison of Karina i'm amazed how big the change from debut era is! But tbh she looks good, i just hope she stops here. Like i feel like in aespa there is always something little bit different in one of the members. You mentioned sm taeyeon face treatment and i hope it wont keep going to that route in anyone of the members. I was just thinking how much better Dara has aged compared to Taeyeon even though Dara is older. Random comparison but since she was having comeback thought about it. Taeyeon surgeries age her even if people say she looks like a teen etc. but without those SM filters she looks older than some of her same age peers. (absolutely nothing wrong with that though!)

Cool. This is the kind of representation I'd expect from a straight guy tbh, we know they're more comfortable (although not always for the best reasons) with lesbian couples than with male gay couples. But I swear armys want so badly to call Jungkook a supporter, it looks like they're overcompensating since he performed for the World Cup in Qatar. Edit : Not the Jikookers and Vkookers who lurk there clowning me. We're in the year of 2023, it's time to accept your ships aren't real.

wow this thread used to be so active i could barely keep up...thought i'd post since i rarely do and this was an unexpected procedure i thought i'd never see oh my girl's yubin got her lips plumped! im a stan and i closely monitor the group's every schedule and activity so i immediately noticed. it doesnt help that her 2 fansites edit the hell out of her face but, the first (from left to right) was 230512 and the second was 230516, then the third/last was on 230527. i noticed immediately on that second day, and every fanpic thereafter, her lips and lower half of her face looked really diff. mind you, i look at omgeol everyday! and when i saw that her fillers were noticeable in the comeback teaser's then it lowkey revealed when they started shooting those pics lol since i could date them based on yubin's fansite pics and appearances an unedited iphone fanpic from 230711: and here are side by sides of her in 2023 before may vs during may-now: (left = pre may; right = may onward) ---------- more pics post filler in spoiler in case you still wanna see how she looks recently: i cant help but assume that the frequent use of filler by yooa and mimi (and minor use by arin) may have eased yubin into making the decision since (as far as i know) yubin has never gotten anything but praise for her visual since debut! especially in the past two years when she grew out her bangs and let go of the bob, she's been blooming visually! but in terms of like the "why?" since she def didnt need it and wasn't really ever talked down for her visuals, i feel like she may have just wanted a change for the comeback! (which btw it still boggles me how idols can be like "ooh lets change my "look" surgically (or non surgically, just speaking in general here) for this promotion period!" nothing wrong since its their body, im just saying its crazy that that's an option for us humans to do~) people also often say she resembles seventeen's joshua! as a stan, im aware that yubin's has been one of, if not THE LEAST, popular member of oh my girl, at least in terms of hype, popularity, followers, articles, etc. but since this year, and especially these past couple of weeks, she has been getting so much praise for her visuals on twitter and for like the first time, the likes for HER teaser pics for the comeback surpassed arin and yooa's (the group's most popular members, esp on twitter). so im sure she is loving the attention and i think she is happy with the change which is great! i can tell she has been a bit more confident too with the amount of posts, tiktoks, and selfies with her lips being a focal point lol: anyway, i sometimes feel like i cant express myself well in words so to reiterate: this isnt a hate post. i love my girl! just was so shocked to see this change since she is the last idol i expect to touch anything bc she looks practically flawless imo. tbh it was a bit jarring when i first was seeing it in may but like most idol's visual changes, i got used to it and think it actually looks not too bad on her! curious to hear your thoughts! and i had a lot of fun making this long post lmao. reminded me of the old days of lurking on onehallyu back in 2016~

After a long drought, Woongki (ex-TO1) and Seunghwan (ex-1THE9) reunited and got right back to... whatever you want to call this:

This Kind of unrelated, but... There's still people around thinking that Suho Is straight? Sorry but he seems so obvious to me, just like Sehun. Not really sure about the others. I used to be pretty adamant about Baekhyun being bi but idk anymore. Changing topic, what's the general consensus about Ateez's Seonghwa?

Everglow today heading to Macau (Yiren went earlier) These fillers... girls...

b-bbut yeonbin has to be real then… right?? (its not a question pls someone tell me before i go thru a downhill spiral) i need confirmation from you gays.
