IHaveAnElephantOnMyArm

I remember posting the Jhope vid (explicitly saying "boyfriend" then nonchalantly adding "girlfriend") a while ago, maybe search up on the right hand corner of this thread? i've seen them twice in person (during concerts but still), and i do get the vibe that he's bi, but perhaps leaning towards men also to the person who says bisexuals are everywhere, I agree--i think most people aren't as straight as society wants them to be, and there's also the thing about emotions and love--it's strong and it's not sth people can "control" really

I know a lot of us think Seungkwan crushes on Vernon but can we talk about how Vernon stares at him? What's also interesting is that they were shipped way before debut and they're definitely very close irl, but more tellingly they've toned down 80% of their affections after debut (so they have less fan-servicey moments)...at first sight it seems that Seungkwan has it hard but when you pay attention to Vernon, you can see he's always staring at Seungkwan like this: not to mention this: #iconic (the camera immediately panned away so it wasn't meant to be live) honestly i think Vernon's still quite "no homo" at times so i hope he grows out of it (regardless of his own orientation)

that "good girl bad girl" perf is perfect. just perfect. (the girl group perf of "Be mine" was hot as well but that's for another thread)

in spoilers because not kpop material

Backtracking but i just wanted to say there was a mistranslation in Luhan saying "oppa"--he did say "ge",which means older brother but does not differentiate between the speaker's gender, unlike in Korean, so a more accurate translation would be "hyung". That said, i appreciate both of your posts, thank u! I could never wrap my head around how they keep referring to things like this as "bromance" (the captions in Korean)--i mean this is straight-up (homo)erotic body language even in "ask me anything" they refer to Heechul and Jisoo's stories as "bromance" lol also, check this out: Heechul being teased again (this time by Coni), 0:15-0:35 Coni: this week's idols...came on bcause of Heechul ssi. *look at Heechul's face* Coni: And it seems like he knows they're coming because his hair is so made up (then says sth about not wanting to be compared to them but honestly i think it's just to make it less obvious xd)

And Jinyoung's answer to this "attack" was awkward laughing then "i lost, can't beat this' lol

Happy rainbows they are too

not that this means anything, but apparently Yoo Ah-in is friends with Jisoo https://www.instagram.com/p/BBW4Om4wduQ/?taken-by=hongsick in regards to zhou Mi i think he's pretty gay

tbh the first time i saw Shinhwa Hyesung pinged like crazy, then it was Junjin because i noticed Hyesung helping him with his sleeve and that moment gave off serious coupley vibes; from then on i just sort of assumed they were together. This vid opened my eyes tho https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExkseBOG4Rs ^check Junjin out at 1:25 then the sleeve moment at 5:30 but idk Hyesung just pings like crazy

i agree that Ljoe pings as gay too, if that makes you feel better. To me he seems very comfortable with it too. Chunji on the other hand... i'm actually surprised at how they included L and LJoe. i mean, i thought they would easily pass (as much as i know this word is problematic) as straight in the Korean society those lingering gazes though...the way they make it is like straight up teenage drama (the cliche romance but still) man they're really queerbaiting

to me Jooheon and Shownu are the only ones i'm confident to say i think they're straight; Minhyuk, Wonho and I.M, ping a lot (Minhyuk i've always felt is gay), and Hyungwon's confusing. Right now i'd say he seems to prefer women, if he's indeed bi/pan/others.

I always wonder about their relationship, i mean there was a time when V seemed to be infatuated with Jhope, then there's been this awkward tension going on (mainly from Jhope), like he's resisting V, then nowadays when they seem a lot more comfortable with eachother. If V confessed, you would've thought he'd be holding back in terms of physical affection but here he goes but maybe V's just special like this who knows https://www.instagram.com/p/BJSe4UDhgai/?taken-by=tntonyan ^Tony An's instagram there are so many Korean comments that say "family picture" it's pretty cute

They really give off strong couple vibes, and it's so heartwarming. 2 men their age living together (for 8 years too), it'd be pretty incredible if they're platonic right? either way it's amazing and i hope they'll be together no matter what society throws at them Ken and N be looking so proud tho and i do get strong bi (not exactly gay) vibes from Ravi

Yeah after posting this i went and read more, and the more i read the less plausible a lot of the info sound lol it's okay i feel like this thread does a way better job of speculating and about Kinsey--did he actually put homosexuality along with bestiality?

http://onehallyu.com/topic/158661-does-anyone-want-insider-info-from-chinese-forums-to-be-translated/page-117 ^i stumbled upon this thread and apparently an "insider" (fully aware that this term doesn't promise anything) says that Hongbin, Ken, and Hyuk are the not-so-straight members of VIXX? i'm surprised at Hyuk and apparently someone says Hongbin and Ren dated edit: the same “insider" does say there's at least one member who's not straight in every boy group tho. and that Sehun has only been "ambiguous" w other male idols xd

I've never had a doubt that L.Joe was gay (not bi/pan/others) but i couldn't put a finger on why. What do you guys think?

Ravi gives me bi vibes but him not having a gf doesn't seem realistic imo but then again people think i've had several partners in the past when i haven't so that could be true? In VIXX N was the first to ping me, then Ken and Ravi. Hongbin gives off denial vibes, if he's indeed gay/bi/anything.

hope it turns out well then btw isn't Gong Myung the actor who kissed a guy in a movie? He's also Doyoung's brother right?

I'm still catching up with the thread so i'm not sure if this's been posted: it's from a webtoon drama(?) which has Lovelyz' Kei in it, basically it's about Kei using her 2 classmates' relationship as her muse for BL fiction. Likely to be queerbait, but some scenes seem pretty blatantly romantic

Does anyone know when Yuta spoke against (or simply mentioned) gender roles on Abnormal Summit？

Yuta the open-minded rainbow is my new bias

There's another thread that discusses gay celebrities in general?

just DK crushing on Jaehyun i don't think this points to his sexual orientation, only that it's kinda refreshing how he's so chill about his fondness for another male idol, so i'll put it under spoiler. about Yuta, when did he mention LGBTQ* related stuff in another instance?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_dsh1xQhpA NCT's Yuta bringing up Thailand's trans* community on Abnormal Summit. Not directly related to himself, but i just thought it's interesting (and nice) that he's aware of the term "transgender" rather than referring to this particular industry in Thailand with other more common, derogatory terms, and that he talks about broader things like the implementation of unisex/transgender toilets in the country.

I'd have to disagree on dismissing his bullying with his age (which honestly really isn't that young), but i definitely agree that he's getting a lot more sh*t than he deserves, at this point. he also seems to be genuinely remorseful, and can i say SM giving him the chance to bring it up again and again is a good strategy? ("strategy" might not be the most accurate word but you know) to get on topic, i find both him and Jaehyun hard to read atm, Yuta pings a bit
