lgbtxt

what i wanna know is how chan said that with a straight (lol) face

anyway this is fanservice bcs it happened on stage but my god Sejun was very comfortable grabbing him by the hips like that

tbf he's 33 and married why would anyone ask him for aegyo in the first place

help it’s not that deep lmao. idk why everything in this thread needs to be airtight serious facts

oof, i feel for the idols having to put up with doing that many fansigns and for so long. one day we'll have to address the environmental impact of kpop and all of this album waste.

Yonghoon: i've always pegged him as straight but fruity. he's really affectionate w the members, which i bet confuses people, but i think he's just got a lot of love to give Harin: incredibly straight until proven otherwise. he gets a little sus with Dongmyeong but it's only them Hyungu: i agree he's an enigma. the only thing that's ever tipped me one way or the other about him is that he had a little streak of complimenting (female presenting) fans when they'd send him selfies thru pocketdols. and that's kinda part of the job i guess but none of the other members did afaik so idk. he seems like a really private guy so it's hard to tell. i did used to get ace vibes Dongmyeong: breathes homosexually. he even has bitchy lip fillers Cya: is such a queer little guy. he's just so the gay gen z aesthetic it's hard to see him as str8 even tho he could be. like i couldn't tell you of a moment when he seemed like he liked boys, or girls for that matter, but i can tell you he has an infatuation with BMO from Adventure Time (the canonically nonbinary robot) and has written multiple songs through BMO's eyes, he likes to wear pigtails, and he calls his hyungs oppas, among many other things

this is a really lovely post, we need more like it i have no receipts rn but i’d like to add my favorite little 4th gen gays: onlyoneof yoojung, cravity hyeongjun, omega x hangyeom, & oneus dongju

those sunoo pics are actually insaneee. no one thought that was a little much? a lot of kpop shoots are queer-coded in some way, whether intentional or not, as a lot of artists (directors, stylists, etc) are queer and thus bring their experiences and sense of aesthetics into their art. same goes for when idols have more control over their art. thinking of other examples of this, they're not necessarily photoshoots but the concept films for NCT's BOSS blew my mind back in the day. those, as well as most of The Boyz concept films are very male gaze-y in a way that feels so very gay. most things The Boyz put out are vaguely homoerotic tbh. got any receipts for Sungjae? never thought of him that way so i'm interested

Koreans sure do love their AI-generated men

that's not exactly a confirmation tho is it? i have no horse in this race idc about Harry Styles and his sexuality but like i feel like that's the same amount of evidence we have for idols here. if he hasn't stated outright that he's queer it's not "confirmed" and "basically out" means as much for Harry Styles as it does for the likes of Ten. i did find this old interview with him though that i find interesting. i think it could totally apply to some people who way overthink "hints" dropped by idols. i'll quote it under a spoiler:

ok, i will speak on those "alleged details" because i believe victims. Seungri was violent with a woman during sex without her consent. hint: choking someone without permission is not a "consenual encounter". it was r*pe, it was assault. just because it happened a decade ago doesn't mean it didn't happen, holy shit. if you truly believe that Seungri would not do something like this, considering the people he associated with (convicted r*pists, as you kindly point out) and all the Burning Sun stuff, you are deluded beyond saving. i won't expand on Daesung's mess because it's a lesser issue and not worth it. being a commercial landlord is a different can of worms to being a residential landlord. edit: oh and before you try to say something like "why didn't she go to the police if he really assaulted her?" sex crimes against women are not taken seriously in Korea, only now is the issue getting attention because of cases like Burning Sun. so several years ago, i'm sure she had no reason to believe anything would be done. fun fact, due to Korea's ridiculously loose defamation laws, women can be and often are sued for defamation immediately after losing an assault case against a man, which is an impossibly high hill to climb in the first place as sexual crimes can be very difficult to prove. not to mention the trauma of reliving your assault over and over again through a court case. hitting men where it hurts (their career, reputation) is often the only option that feels viable to victims.

or they’re just dudes making a sex joke lol. with your logic that it implies something about Jin, don’t you think it’s rude of them to make that joke publicly if they know he’s really mlm?

people will really bend over backwards to defend r*pists and for what, they’re men? men who can’t dance? it’s sad. y’all forget Daesung had prostitution going on on his property too, and that regardless of what a corrupt and misogynistic government decides to convict on, Seungri still assaulted that woman (the ‘towel incident’) years ago and never denied it. VIPs need self respect and to touch grass. these guys aren’t worth the brain space, nor a spot at Coachella

ARMYs always find a way to make the conversation not gay

i have no clue where to even begin speculating. bcs the article says this happened back in june of last year actually. and the groups themselves aren't necessarily popular, just that the members involved are the most popular in their groups .... so it could be anyone. i'm taking it with several grains of salt (btw whatever yt link that was got deleted )

i get ace vibes from him (as an ace person) sometimes because he often seems oblivious to his attractiveness?? like other posters have said, he's always been shy and reserved so that has to be taken into account. but idk it's just the vibes, to me he comes off as disinterested in ppl thinking he's sexy. so i think ace spectrum is a possibility but he could be anything ok tbf i haven't kept up with BTS veryy recently so idk what they're up to now. do they really do ship stuff seriously? i'm talking like all those kissing games, getting coupled up for shows, skinship, acting jealous, etc. you're always gonna have to expect some y/n fanservice at fansigns but it just stood out to me that outside of fansigns they never did over-the-top fanservice like other groups at the time. they didn't do bf pov videos or call fans their girlfriends or whatever. i remember them always rejecting vlive marriage proposals lmao. but maybe it's different now, maybe i'm making that up idk lol that's just my experience with BTS also that article reads like fanfic, i sure hope it doesn't lead to anyone really getting outed @gam3 bo1 what i understood from google translate was that there's two idols from two different groups who are dating, and that their companies know about it but it'd be a bad move to kick them out because they're the most popular members of their groups. it says the groups went on a youtube show together and the 2 members dating shared a secret love signal?? aka they looked at each other and the other members noticed and got mad and stormed off set. idk this is very messy

tbf i think hwanwoong & woojin are the only active idols on that list. the other guys haven’t been with their groups for a while. but i didn’t watch the first season

tbh taekook/jikook speculation could be more fun if ARMYs weren’t so rabid and stubborn. i love a good hidden relationship conspiracy, but BTS fans make it a chore to discuss

really such a shame, i have 0 hype for this group with Leo debuting with them. it's really not fair to the other trainees tbh who i'm sure are super talented and also not misogynists. but i don't expect Leo to be booted so i won't be supporting.

i mean he could think it's weird bcs Aron was sexualizing smthg nonsexual .. Ren could be gay and just offended by the implication lol it's kinda rude. but from watching the clip tbh i took it as Aron smirking bcs he remembered the story they told like 10 seconds later. not really something i'd base any opinions on

i would lovelovelove to see any of these receipts if you could dig them up. i didn't know all of that & it puts him in a different perspective! it's always struck me as odd how BTS haven't done fanservice (shippy or bf fantasy) for yearrrsss, probably since before WINGS i think? and yet HYBE pushes sooo much ship stuff into the official lore content or whatever it just feels like mixed messages and it throws me off

calling it now, his first group will have an appropriation scandal at debut

here's the vid at the time i saw people saying he was probably going to say "whoever you fck" or an equivalent, so not homophobic maybe? idk, funny how being a good and Godly christian doesn't seem to matter to him any other time tho

that clip is Somethin else oml .. idk if anyone else has this experience but, i've seen it happen a few times where a gay/bi dude will like a straight dude and flirt with him for funsies (knowing it won't go anywhere), and obv the straight dude isn't interested but he likes the attention. then when the queer guy inevitably moves on and that attention goes elsewhere the straight guy tries to win him back over. it's pretty funny to see. maybe that's what they're going thru

i think Sunoo had a crush on Sunghoon during i-land/early debut but he doesn't really act like it these days. Sunghoon comes off to me as str8 (possibly ace tbh) tho so i don't see it as shippy i didn't watch this whole vid tbh but the first like 40 secs has the clips that spring to mind for me abt them. especially in the kitchen when Hoon says Jake is cute and Sunoo goes "i'm cuter " like ... bro. lmao. also in their debut show (@ 5:34) they had to compliment each other and Sunoo went on this whole rant about why Sunghoon is so amazing blahblahblah and it very much had the vibes of a one-sided crush to me. but Sunoo is a very sensitive & loving person, so maybe he just likes all his friends that much who's to say?
