Someone posted this on Reddit. It’s a little long but really interesting video about the intersection of KPOP and LGBTQA+ culture, and the experience of the queer fandom.

Yuri was in Australia during World Pride recently. Here's a video Also, she is almost always is with her "friend" Juran, who we suspect is really her long-term girlfriend. Taeyeon is a glass closet, she wants everyone to know that she's fruity. Like letting everyone know she recommending the song girls girls girls by FLETCHER, posting the bi flag colors on her Snapchat story during Pride, posting a rainbow on National Coming Out Day. She posted recently to show everyone that she watching D.E.B.S, the very niche movie that only sapphics seem to know lol Here's a video of Taeyeon saying that SNSD can be the ideal types of both boys and girls with Yuri nodding and agreeing lol

It always makes me laugh at how surprised the fan is when he asks “Girl or boy?” She was not expecting that response to her idea type question. That conversation was brought up by another fan, and when she mentions it you can tell by the way he smiles he knows EXACTLY what she is talking about haha

thanks for the tea! I had not seen that about jackson. good for him. and king minghao ofc. i think some of those are debatable, like bobby's case, because korean has a tendency to obfuscate gender in speech much more than english, we've talked about this before in this chat. Does anyone have the receipts for felix hinting at being bi, because all the stuff I've seen from him is him being very outspokenly supportive (which we love, dont get me wrong) but nothing actually "hinting" at anything really. I'm also curious about eunwoo, is that really what he was implying? Because everyone else seemed too chill about what he said. Maybe they are all very supportive lol

sleep

And in term of songs rerecorded in english this one is a standout for me

There is also this clip of Taeyeon basically implying she confessed with a love song to a girl: Also this is a bit of a forgotten receipt bc it was kinda purposefully swept under the rug but Sunny used to have a radio show that a lot of SONEs believe was suspiciously shut down around the time Sunny was having some VERY SUS interactions with Apink's Chorong. It was kind of a bit too out there and people even outside the fandom and some korean websites were talking about gay Sunny and that's when her show was canceled. You can judge for yourselves:

not entirely kpop related though it is related to a kpop company, lara, one of the most popular contestants on hybe's dream academy, is gay and while the tweet does say she'll be one of, if not the only because as far as i'm aware none have actually come out but rather they're glass closet cases, the few openly gay artists in hybe, i can't help but think she might have to be hush hush about this, like i don't know i just can't imagine someone under hybe openly and freely talking about being gay? it's something i've been wondering for a while actually, like ever since dream academy's lineup announced. the project is kind of kpop adjacent so would they be able to do things non-kpop artists are allowed to do freely (openly date, smoke without a care, speak up for political/social causes they care about without batting an eye etc), one of these being open about their sexuality? if anyone has any thoughts please share

Not sure if Moonbin was queer. I do know one thing is that he was very supportive of the community. During the time that BL's were not famous among the mainstream kdramas like Semantic Error and no kpop idols would indulge in taking up a gay role, Moonbin did so. I didnt even know he was a kpop idol at that time. Only watched the drama. He played the role of a student who falls in love with the famous guy of the school. However, a girl in his class liked him and asks him out and he doesn't want to hurt her so he obliges and also not to mention all their friends kind of like encourage him to go out with her. He is scared of being outed so he dates her for a few weeks/months but has a crush on the famous guy of the class. He can't take it anymore because it feels like he's lying so he breaks up with her. She's upset and corners him into an empty room and asks him why he choose to break up and he tells her that he likes someone else and she instinctively thinks it's another girl but he tells her it's the famous boy (takes his name) and someone overhears this convo of theirs and leaks it into a group chat and everyone including famous boy finds out. Everyone in school next day is waiting for famous boy to react but he doesn't do anything. Doesn't treat him any differently just simply tells him that I really like you as friend and you helped me during tough times. I will always be there but please understand that I won't be able to reciprocate these feelings that you have for me. There was no hate, no aggression, no shaming. Just all round well received and portrayed acceptance. Moonbin also had a joke with SinB from Gfriend that if they don't find anyone by the end of their life they will just marry each other and he used to jokingly call her his girlfriend on stage. The openess to this banter without any kind of dating allegations and controversy made me think that he probably might be queer because if another kpop idol like Eunwoo or Bang Chan (someone who is perceived straight) would have this open joke with a female idol people would ship them or just think that they are in a relationship. I relate to this because I had a gay friend who said that if we didn't find anyone we would just marry each other. It's basically your gay friend flirting with you. You know that she don't really mean it.

Suga - his verse in cypher pt 3 and other things that he has already Said Eunwoo ( the word that he uses here pmn "jamanchu" means to have a date with someone in a natural way ) and he specified both Men and women Jackson Wang ( 1:29:34 time stamp ) he talks about his ideal type in both girls and guys Felix has hinted at being bi in a fanmeeting before to fan and literally used the heart emojis with the bisexual colours in the First day of pride month in a Photo in the stray kids official Instagram account https://www.instagram.com/p/Cs6TnAShWOd/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Minghao Bobby wonho ( If i recall ) has Said that gender is not important in a relationship for him + strong rumours that he dated one of his dancers, the Guy even allegedly liked a comment calling them boyfriends

nice! i thought it was going to be released tomorrow but i guess it's already the 4th on Japan loved Mami's part, that was a nice surprise, actually they pre released the digital song last month but i only listened to it today since i didn't wanted spoilers until the MV went out also they look great with the black suits!

oh he actually asked "girl or boy?" with his whole ass pog

I know it’s been asked in the past what everyone’s favorite Japanese release by a Kpop group/artist is, so today I wanted to ask what’s everyone’s favorite English song by a Kpop artist? Personally #1 favorite is Key’s B-side Another Life. I listen to this religiously every day, and if a day goes by where I’m not listening to this on Spotify please assume that I am deceased. I want to give a shout out to The Feels though by Twice: And the English version of The Boys by Girls Generation:

The Beyoncé of Kpop

This is so interesting because for some reason I always figured Krystal the least likely to want to perform with f(x) again. So glad to see I was wrong. I hope our girls can get together again soon. I miss them so much

As far as I know it was the album "Black" in 2017.

How many years has it been? I'm excited.

OOOUUU what's the tea here? I already know about Yuri's love triangle but is there more on her?

Should have been a viral hit

When i saw YHS is suppose to be going to jail.. I knew he was in the clear to leave

I didn't know about this but yes I did see a few video of Millie being shipped with Noah before he came out. Now, even if we see Noah holding hands with a girl we'll be sure they're not dating. (unless he's questioning, it happens) I think Moonbin also had the same thing going on with SinB.

WayV - Love Talk Monsta X's - The Dreaming and All About Luv albums (SOOOO GOOD!!) Rania - Dr. Feel Good (eng vers.) 2ne1 - Can't Nobody (eng vers.) Girls Generation - The Boys (eng vers.) That's it

getting to see this live made my life temporarily worth living again + The Boys by GG [2]

It's funny because Millie bobbie Brown and Noah schnapp ( who now is out as gay ) Said the same thing to eachother... that If they ended up alone in their lives they would marry eachother ( Millie talked about this before Noah came out )

231002 JAEHYUN IG Update

Shinichi Osawa (MONDO GROSSO) needs to write more Kpop songs.

Their best release. Was listening to it a couple days ago.

YG must be in hot water right now because it seems they’re loosing him + 3/4 blackpink members.

I don't remember half of those ever happening? What words are you referring to?

SNSD was 1) arguably the most popular girl group at the time and 2) at a certain point SM realized that they could do "girl crush" concept because male fans didn't need to be catered to (they would just gravitate towards beautiful women) and female fans are generally more loyal to the groups they stan. Around ~2013 SNSD suffered a transformation into that selling strategy and started to amass lots of female fans because of it. I think Taeyeon, Yoona, and Jessica had the most fangirls, but they are also the most popular lol. As for who had the most tea, it was Taeyeon and Yuri.

Lol. She is done with kpop and its . It's official.

I honestly believe that bro was high as a kite lol. And it's always these 4 along with Jaehyun who may never beat the "nct stoner posse" rumours

you'd seriously think she shot a child in the street the way they're talking about it .

very funny how knetz are losing their minds over lisa performing at a cabaret

Lee Seunghwan/ONLEE and Cha Woongki at it again lmao truthfully I'm not even sure what "it" is here since the quality is so crunchy

About Sana, it's not just that she was flirting with this guy, she also emphasized that her ideal type are manly men and talked about how she was happy to finally show her real self. Implying that all those years of flirting with women were her playing a character. Anyway, I kind of always had the feeling she was just a straight girl using queer fangirls to her benefit and I don't even blame her for that tbh, competition is fierce in the industry. And while I agree that queerbaiting as a concept can't be applied to real people, it's very much a fact that certain idols do a lot more fanservice than the norm. And by that, I mean suggestive fanservice with their bandmates or their fans of the same-sex that most of the other idols don't do. I don't think LGBT fans should be vilified for feeling disappointed over those idols being so vastly different from their personas and unstanning them. After all Sana isn't going to lose sleep over sapphic fangirls dropping her.

An unpopular opinion of mine is that there is nothing like queerbaiting where kpop idols or k celebrities are involved. We do not know their sexuality truly so accusing them of queerbaiting is just off the table. Especially when the general public or k netizens or homophobic fans exist. I remember when heartstopper twt literally forced one of the main characters to come out because he was accused of "queerbaiting". Being an idol is a job and in this economy and capitalist society, not many people would appreciate losing their jobs because of their sexuality. I also don't think fans should be accusing an actual human being of being a queerbait(er?) regardless.

Y'all ain't hear this from me, but last week I saw a video of a Korean gay guy living in SK basically saying that a lot of the "Idols popular among Korean gay/lesbians" list have "some hidden truths" (his words not mine). Basically, he was saying that some of the actors and idols that are popular among gay men are very involved in the gay scene in Korea. He also said that it's the same for female idols/actors as well. He said that this isn't the case for all of them and that other celebrity men are just ideal types among gay Korean men ( Taeceyeon for example). As we know J0 Kwon, Key, and Seungkwan never make these lists, but we can assume that they're lgbt. Mingyu, DO, Jaehyun, Eunwoo, Gong Yoo, and Moobin have been on these lists for YEARS. I think that it's very interesting. He deleted the video, though.

In this video it explain why Yoo Ah In got so much hate and it was partially bc he was publicly being a feminist, was exempt from military service and hang out with people suspected of being lgbt

In honor of the first day of pride here is Hanbin dancing to mother Ariana Grande in full 240p

Wheein gives mega bi vibes for me too, i've never thought she was a full on lesbian. We can expect her to talk about men freely if this is the case anyway as this is what is acceptable, unfortunately it makes bi people look straight on the surface but what can you do? I'd kill to know how many bi ladies in kpop there are that shield behind the safe liking men part.

Isn't that just a Wonder Girls comeback? JK JK miss thing
