  1. I also want to say my opinion on this discussion because the way you described Jungwoo is somewhat how I feel about Jaemin. Early on I thought he was obviously gay, but then I was somewhat iffy on that because I felt that he was very attuned into that idol assigned persona (i.e. shipping, cute, etc). He kinda toned that down a lot throughout the years (maybe due to maturity, secured fanbase for longevity, the scandal?) as to compared to Jungwoo I believe. I am weary of my opinion regarding his orientation now because to me he is not a clear cut case? But like you said humans are complex beings.
  2. The feeling of inadequacy due to not being the best dancer or singer in the group and only being praised as a "visual" is quite concerning. Definitely impacts your self esteem in a horrible way. Maybe it is coming from a bias/Western opinion (trust me the West has it fair share of body image issues in the media, but I roll my eyes with Kpop translated articles regarding "who is the best visual of this year." I should know better that Kpop is all about visuals before anything else, but damn the negative impact on young fans to look at these articles. The sad part about this is that some of these idols are so extreme with the plastic surgery that they look "unreal" in a not so good way. Meaning that some idols who may had minor surgeries may look better than the the idols who had jaw shaves, nose surgery, etc. This is definitely a vicious cycle.
  3. I agree with this whole comment. To me, it is very obvious that Harry is using ambiguity to make him stand out from other performers.
  4. Hey! I will try to answer to the best of my knowledge. Anyone please feel free to correct me - my memory is not the best. Jeno: Gay. There is no solid evidence but people here say they get a vibe that he is queer. If I recall, someone mentioned that he was seen at a gay club in 2019? He apparently shown no attraction to the opposite sex. Chenle: Straight. I think he mentioned that if he was a girl, he would date Mark. Also mentioned that he wanted a girlfriend. Jisung: Straight. No indication he could be the opposite. Haechan: Straight. The majority opinion here is that his fan service is just for fun; similar to what Jaemin did in the past. Comfortable in his sexuality. Was caught following Itzy on Vlive, a group he has never mentioned listening to.This is what I saw online, but apparently dated at least 8-10 females from kpop groups. Renjun: Straight? Mark: Straight Jaemin: Straight. Some people thought he might be queer during his Smrookies/mickey mouse club days; also some time after debut. His female costar was caught using his Netflix account, which led to believe that they were dating. I think people saw his previous fan service as a way to appease his fans and nothing more.
  5. I wish fans would be more honest about their favs songs not being good. Maybe constructive criticism can lead to better songs in the future than worshiping every song that comes out. The flip side of this approach is that it can lead to hate from delusional fans, which is dumb lol. Why spend the energy arguing with someone online about a song that they personally feel is objectively bad/not so good? Let people comment and keep it moving. I believe some idols know when a song is trash and the company recycles the same songs because the dedicated fan base will eat that shit up and keep their pockets full. That is why we keep getting these lackluster songs/albums, mediocre vocalists, and not so great dancers. But hey, all the bad points I mentioned is not so bad when you have a group with no visual holes lol.
  6. Snow App got these idols in a chokehold. It is quite sad that minors (pre-debut) or young adults get plastic surgery and STILL use photoshop to edit their pictures (or their companies doing it for them). I cannot imagine the mental strain that comes with living in such an environment.
  7. I agree. It gives us some reassurance that Mark is open minded to some extent!
  8. Can you elaborate on Haechan and Renjun? Jaehyun has too much video evidence (that has been shared on this forum) for me to say he is straight. Unless Taeyong is a really damn good actor, I cannot see him as straight. I did not know that was Yuta was saying these days lol
  9. I vaguely remember reading about Mark being friends with Kangmin. Due to not following Romeo, I did not know he was highly speculated to be part of LGBT. I think your comment/observation is something to note!
  10. Thank you guys for your reactions and comments on my NCT Dream post! Just want to make a few comments. @AWA I never thought about this, but I can definitely see Mark being a possible straight Canadian Tiktoker if he did not choose his current profession lol. As mentioned by @Acapella, I still have questions because Mark does not really have a poker face and definitely shows his emotions (embarrassment, happiness, etc). I think he is hard for him to fake it? While Jaemin's shows a more poker face where it is hard to figure out how he truly feels (as compared to the past) or just maturity (something @LostChild mentioned). As this was mentioned, hopefully time will tell as they become older.
  11. Hello everyone! Long time lurker on this forum. Since I have been watching recent NCT Dream content, I thought it would be interesting to do an analysis on them. It seems that majority of people think they are straight with the exception of Jeno. Nevertheless, maybe this can spark up discussion again and possibly new perspectives lol Chenle: Straight. I have no other indication that he has shown attraction to the same gender. Though, I do not observe him that closely. Jisung: Straight. Similar to Chenle's case, I have no feeling or evidence. I believe there were some speculation that he was investing too much in his relationship with Chenle, but I think they are just good friends. Renjun: Straight or Aesxual? I do not think that he has shown indication or mention of the opposite gender or anyone to my knowledge. I remember reading that apparently him and Ningning dated pre-debut, but I think it is just a rumor. Heachan: Straight. I think he is just comfortable with his sexuality. He also likes to toy with the members by doing fan service. SM is now pushing Haechan x Renjun fanservice, which I find quite cringy lol Mark: Big idk. I sometimes struggle with analyzing him lol. People have mentioned that there were instances of him being flustered around guys or being flirty with Johnny. i cannot really see Mark being with a guy, but I cannot see him being with a girl either lol. Maybe because SM artists have limited to no interactions with the opposite sex, so maybe that is why I cannot see him with a girl. Jeno: Gay. I think there is very subtle evidence. I feel my analysis is mostly just feelings. I haven't seen attraction to the opposite gender (when he had interactions). There are videos that showed his clinginess to his bandmates (Jaemin, Renjun, and Chenle) and sometimes those interactions did not feel fanservicy (with the exception of some of JM interactions). Also the 2020 rely cam with Renjun, Jeno, and Jisung, JN just pinged to me lol. Although they are good friends, I believe that JN had (or still has) feelings for JM. When SM was pushing the Nomin ship, I believe those feeling became deeper on JN's end even though he was not always the initiator. Furthermore, those recent Candylab photoshoot videos made me more suspicious ofJN. Blowing on JM's neck and touching him. I thought to myself that maybe this is not fanservice because what is the point on doing all that at a photoshoot lol. Plus JN just looked like he was into it lol. Furthermore, a Korean twitter user pointed out that JN was caressing JM's butt while they were taking pics at the photoshoot, which isn’t initially apparent when you first watch the video. I do not think anything is going on with them. I believe it was mentioned in a 7chillin ep that he does not hang out with JM that often (I could be wrong on this). Side note: With SM pushing shipping pairs (Yunho x Jaejong; Donghae x Eunhyuk; JN x Jaemin), I found it interesting that besides these ships at least one person in these pairings have been speculated to be either gay or bi outside of their ships (Jae, JN, and Eunhyuk). Just an observation I made. Jaemin: Straight, possibly bi? I noticed that once the dating rumor occurred, the forum went from thinking he was gay or bi to straight lol.I thought that was interesting to note. With this comeback he seems more introverted/private, does not interact with members much, and there is not much screen time of him, so it is hard to analyze him. In the past, I think JM was definitely played up fanservicy, hyper affectionate persona just to please his fans, which made me question if he was straight. Nevertheless, I do feel that he still might be on the spectrum?? Sometimes he was too comfortable with the fan service. Aside from the past fan service, I still think he ping, especially in the past. Would love you guys thoughts!
