oh now that would be Good… piggybacking off of this, i need to see them on youngji’s drinking show, even though that’s total wishful thinking on my end. niki could cause mayhem on a pouch of capri sun

that would be EVERYTHING... i need them to go all out, i'm sick of belift and their pg family friendly marketing. and niki doesn't need alcohol to go goblin mode lbr

praying one day we see them completely unfiltered  and also my nosy ass needs explanations on the heesun friends to enemies arc so some tv exec pls get on that

hmmmmmmm

mysterious reply, please elaborate 

after going on an old variety bingewatch i have to say that i need intimate note to be rebooted just so that enhypen can guest and shit goes down. those guys have so much tea to spill i just Know it

just no moon heejun juseyo~

this issue could have been over if fans just accepted their idols have sex and moved on. now gurumi thinks they’re some sorta master hacker and there’s so many people waiting for the next update. it’s so dumb

Also, could someone please summarize the "Soobin is probably gay" theory? I'm Korean-American and not totally removed from the culture, gay, and pretty experienced with navigating LGBT life (i.e., older, etc.), so I think I have a decent take on things, and I've never gotten gay vibes from him. 

i mean i dunno, soobin is about the only kpop idol that's had not one but two (!!) gay dating scandals that picked up in korea. sure, one scandal was more baseless than the other, but he's managed to outrank jo kwon in the gay dating scandal leaderboard (he's only had one, and he also had that straight dating rumour with gain LMAO). then there's also the fact that soobin is always going out of his way to call other men handsome and his ongoing saga with kai. from what i've noticed in the little txt content i've watched, i can't say any of them ping particularly (even soobin!) but a friend of mine, for instance, has said that soobin is 10 times gayer than sunoo which. lmao.

speaking of gay dating rumours, are you guys aware of any ones that were actually taken seriously in sk? the key/hyungseop thing was a big deal back in the day, same with tony/jaeduck and heechul/gunhee, but afaik only the jo kwon/soohyun one gained enough traction that they both had to come out and deny that they dated. any kpop historian in the chat please share some insight

recently i tried to get into oneus and hwanwoong is my fave so far, what's the tea on him?

i don't know any recent definite receipts, but based on the bunch of oneus videos i've watched his mannerisms still ping. i can't tell you what exactly it is about it, he's just... enabling the gay agenda !!!

as for the ancient receipts, please gorge yourself:

he then remade it a few years later:

I don't follow Cravity so I don't know, but I did watch Produce and isn't Hyeongjun a really obvious choice? He seriously came across almost as gay as Dongpyo to me back then lol. Also, no one mentioned The Boyz Chanhee, so I'd add him as well. 

lol he was in the list initially but i kicked him to add some other boys, that guy pings to hell and back that's for sure

as for more produce alumni, i'll just add hyungseob (tempest) and hangyul (bae173)

Can anyone here please list 3–5 guys in 4th-generation groups you're at least 90% sure are gay?

oh easy

barring the ones @milftaeyeonmentioned,

1. dongpyo (mirae)

2. hwanwoong (oneus)

3. seongmin (cravity)

4. donghan (wei)

5. minho (skz) (eclectic choice of photo on the post as well )

i mean there's loads more i think are sussy but these guys would be my safe bets

wait he was my fave in tvxq as well and junsu was also my second fave! omg my dear cold soba, do we have more in common than we think??

HDHDJJDJ we might! it’s the small things x

he is such a fantastic singer and i love his solo career so much (honestly all 4 tvxq members have really interesting solo careers to me. the musical and visual exploration 10/10). takuya as in takuya from cross gene???

honestly jaejoong is a gorgeous singer, if only it weren’t for sm cockblocking him he could have been the top kpop soloist and i’ll always stand by that, i mean just listen to mine!!! the drama of it!!!!! it’s immaculate i swear, and nobody has tried anything similar in kpop as of yet. unexplored goldmine i’d say 

yesss takuya of cross gene fame! i found him through his kdrama the lover which to this day is the only kdrama i’ve watched to its end, then i found him again on abnormal summit and then my best friend fed me with cross gene propaganda cuz she used to love their songs so now i love takuya. it’s the fact that his korean is immaculate, he’s witty, and he’s SO HANDSOME UGH. that beauty mark always kills me

1 hour ago, nana_moon said:

Lee Soo Man was so right that the only time Jaejoong should be opening his mouth is when he's singing

DID HE ACTUALLY SAY THAT OMG first time i find myself agreeing with an interpol-wanted criminal. but seriously jaejoong… he doesn’t think his actions through does he. to this day i think he still has that massive tvxq tat on his back, hasn’t covered it or anything afaik. i wonder if he ever regrets it LMAO

EDIT: still remains an important part of kpop history though

Wait, you’re a fan of Jaejoong?? Perhaps another taste point :00

yea i’m a fan of him when he’s not doing DUMB SHIT, sometimes i swear that guy doesn’t have a pr team and he just says shit  but he’s always been my fav tvxq member with xia as a close second. some months ago he just turned up on my feed cuz he was doing a photoshoot with takuya who i fuckin LOVE and i was like ‘damn ok you’re redeemed in my heart until the next scandal’.

ty for the recs

i believe the pic is fake (it doesn’t look like tae to begin with) but also the person who posted it said gurumi said all of the leaked pics were sent to them by lisa. so i mean… yeah, the person posting this ‘kissing’ photo is just taking the piss for some attention lmao

totally unrelated to the discourse but that specific gif of minsung in your sig always makes me feel like they've caught me looking their way and they're taking a pic of my ugly ass  anyway continue on with the scheduled program everyone

proud to say i've never watched an episode of music bank and that's probably helped me retain a relatively positive opinion on sunghoon because... i saw one clip of him acting out a sketch with wonyoung and homeboy just...  bless his heart, i'm sure he was doing his best. i also agree that out of all of enhypen he made one of the worst picks for mc, he just isn't a sociable person and that's totally fine but it's sad that he prolly only got picked because of visuals. 

i think it would be great if wonyoung could mc with another girl, maybe sserafim so hybe can continue to monopolise the music bank mc scene and iz*one fans can get a bone thrown at them, but i doubt it. mnet really wants to pair up pretty boys and pretty girls so uhhh let's wait for next week i suppose

speaking of music recs, do yall have any 1st gen recs? i listened to a fair amount but i found that searching for good music in the 1st gen is like looking for jaejoong performances on music bank

ultramania's gotta be my fav tho ugh

idg why people aren't able to process that he likes women/jennie/not-jungkook. like i saw a facebook group of taekookers trying to say that the people in the pic are actually enhypen sunoo and red velvet seulgi  truly no thoughts just vibes

what do you mean sunoo isn't dating a woman 10 yrs his senior he's well known for being a player with the older ladies  fake engene tsk tsk

also it's good to finally see a skz enthusiast!! cheering on you and your minho collection, he must start coming home at some point. but def feel the pain, my bias after chan is hyunjin, and across all the albums i have bought (still missing four) i have pulled him once. ONCE. and it was the frankestein maniac pcs they were giving away like crazy because of the misprint, so we both have the same curse it seems lmaooo

talk about unlucky  how is it possible to get him only ONCE??? i have maybe 6-7 hyunjin pc's, maknae line except seungmin always turn up for me. and then hyung line is just  dirt.

YEPPPP hybe are overall really stingy with album inclusions, you barely get anything. and i get the feeling, i have also gone off bts a bit but i have a big collection i don't want to get rid of because of tons of good memories from those years of stanning

in my enhypen collecting experience i gotta say i haven't really been disappointed by the inclusions. obviously they're not skz level of ott, but they still have interesting goodies (and the border: carnival albums in particular are drop dead gorgeous in both packaging and photobook). but yeah i've heard bts albums are a bit dry and it's maddening cuz it's such an effective tactic to boost sales  the consequences of capitalism on society sigh

Wow, you get a taste point then lmao 

i have the sad feeling that you think very low of my taste  if you must know i'm a proud red light and pink tape owner and to this day they're my all time favourites. even tho i'm side-eyeing min heejin VERY HARD, i just get thrown back to such good times every time i look through the albums. and i hold my sulli pc very close to my heart <333

I had to sell the majority of my Kpop collection a long time ago so I no longer have it :((

that's terrible i'm sorry 

Just now, hyune said:

the question here is what were they so tiny for... the book format they did for hyyh and love yourself was their best, wish they had consistently done that because seeing the different heights on my shelves makes my eye twitch

EXACTLY MY THOUGHT, you can get a much bigger album for the same price with extra goodies inside. it's a total scam  i think hyyh was a much better investment and i also hold fond memories of listening to that album, so i gotta say i'm glad i bought it even though i stopped consuming bts content a long time ago

First wanna one album… no regrets

Most and best iconique group

80% of the reason i resent wanna one is that i wanted to support them so badly when they debuted. and when their purple box set album (apologies don't remember the name </3) came at the local store it was the most expensive kpop album there. 35 euros for a kpop album in 2017 was a total ripoff, i was proper enraged and vowed to never interact with wanna one ever again

Never bought one  exo rich already

PLS i admire u for the resilience – i bought the suho jacket from exodus when i was young and in my exo phase, but i got a baekhyun pc and i never liked him so i gave it away  really regret that now, i think i coulda made some good bucks from selling it

bts wings when i turned 18 and finally could have a bank acc and debit card lmaooo. now that i think of it it's probably one of my least favorite albums i own packaging wise 

same issue with wings – i regretted buying it, so i gave that away too and then bought hyyh pt. 2 LMAO

y'all what was the first kpop album you bought? 

mine was sunshine by rainz (i know, nugu much). middle school me was stunned by the box set and the photobook and everything, i thought all kpop albums were that extravagant lol

I didn't even know Enhypen's Sunoo was involved until now 

 

ah yes sunoo, the well known... pussy master... and... *checks notes* taehyung cosplayer??? armys are doing the most just to prove that oppar is a pure virgin who would never even think of standing within 10ft radius of a girl and it's so ridiculous i wanna cry

ngl the tea is steaming hot here, i didn’t expect the whole gurumi lore and everything

as a non-fan, i gotta say that my first Thought if i were an executive in either of those companies would be to sue this gurumi person. sadly though the format of proton mail and telegram is that it’s encrypted so it would be difficult to gather any evidence against the gurumi person without breaching some sort of privacy law. but i just find it so strange that two of the most powerful entertainment companies in sk (with at least one involved in criminal activity ahem) haven’t done anything to protect their artists, at least openly. and the only statement they released afaik was the new york one which??? has basically nothing to do with the edited photos. i think beyond the whole “oppar and unnie are dating” scandal of it all what’s hiding is some real shitty people, on both sides.

i do wonder if the companies are taking action behind the scenes (bts haha geddit) though… i guess we can only play the waiting game lol

ah the voice of reason is here  it's the Which male idols do you think are gay thread? thread, not Which male idols do you think need therapy for their mental illness? thread

i do like to think of myself as reasonable i agree that people tend to get carried away with their speculation/analysis on here but i mean… isn’t it warranted? it isn’t just an ‘enhypen’ thing or a ‘taehyung’ thing or a ‘taeyong’ thing. loads of people try to justify their assumptions through arguments and in the case of this thread, they might get personal. in the end, i doubt anyone takes their speculations as gospel soooo i wouldn’t worry about it so much. 

EDIT: sawry for saying something so controversial chat, i’ll go back to my cave and reflect
