Looks like I need a break for this thread. Some of you guys are quite toxic. Deuces!

WATCHA tends not to caption their videos but here they did. You can hear/read JaeChan comment at 15:10. I really wasn't sure about him in the past but with all these recent interviews/lives he might actually be family? Also his agency is taking legal action against bullying claims being made about him. I guess the anti-fans smell blood once fame start to occur. https://www.soompi.com/article/1517248wpp/dongkizs-jaechans-agency-denies-school-bullying-rumors-takes-legal-action

Don't worry about the clown reactions. Bringing up Semantic Error/Jaechan or Seoham seem to be a sore spot for some people here. Why? I don't know. When someone first posted about it here people actually had the gall to ask.. "why?". With the show finally done and a lot more of the interviews being translated to English you can tell the show meant a lot to both of them and they really wanted the story to be told. Mind you this is a gay love story at the end of the day and they are so thankful to be a part of it. In one interview, the Interviewer ask what does Sementic Error mean to them. Jae Chan flat out says "Semantic Error is me". If that isn't clear enough. I don't know what is.

I love that all of this is resurfacing now. Seoham with a pride flag and KNK at a LA concert. https://m.imgur.com/x9etC5D

Yeah I can totally see Seoham as gay/bi and giving no fucks. But for Jaechan I’m not getting that vibe from him. Despite that for a “young” guy he seems to be *very* comfortable with Seoham (and comfortable with his sexuality). I love how Jaechan teases him in all the behind the scene footage.

I can see why it’s trending. Semantic Error had a jam packed ending with a ton of kissing scenes haha. It’s also trending in Korea. Currently the no. 1 Watcha show and no. 3 for overall streaming show. Beating out a whole bunch of big budget Netflix shows. Nice present for Seoham after enlisting. Hopefully this gets Jaechan more acting opportunities and helps with DONGKIZ popularity. Behind the scene footage of a whole bunch of skinship and kissing scenes from the final episode.

Well that was a doozy!! The lead up to this episode has been perfect. Behind the scenes shoot of their sold out magazine feature.

I had no idea Seoham was the talk of the town back in the day. The timing of his military enlistment right after his show is interesting too.

Jungwon can come off as "sassy" at times. Not in his physicality but how he comments or jokes about things. This video about his sister cracks me up everytime I watch it.

I think the show has every right to be discussed here. First of all they are Idols secondly they are in a GAY show. For me its annoying seeing countless comments about so and so derived out of speculation (BTS). But here you have two Idols who are openly talking about being in a gay show, being comfortable with each other and how they have had a good time. Anyone notice how when people talk about the show they immediately mention Jaechan and Seoham's chemistry? BL dramas are starting to ramp up and after watching over a dozen of them, this is the first Korean BL show where the two leads have actual chemistry. I only started watching behind the scenes stuff until episode 6 dropped, and sure enough that chemistry is there. Regardless of the fanservice the chemistry is genuine and it's what people are latching onto. Of course we have no idea what goes on when the camera is not rolling but with everything I've seen you do have to wonder.

In a couple of interviews Jaechan mention he’s grateful too have taken the role in Semantic Error because he was able to meet SeoHam. Now they are genuine friends. I also find the age gap and the difference in personalities interesting. Firstly I never expected Seoham to be so introverted especially compared to the character he plays. Jaechan seems to be more extroverted in real life. Really interesting dynamic.

Pretty much fan service between Seoham and Jaechan. They are really milking it though hahaha. However their chemistry is really of the charts. It’s nice seeing this in a BL drama where it’s rare.

This is sad. Even though I discovered them late, I really enjoyed watching the amazing bond they had together. They put out some great music in their group. Glad they are both in the music scene even though it’s more behind the scenes.

Well this has been a refreshing take on Thai BL series. All this behind the scenes drama is probably why I could never get into them. It always seems so contrived and fake to me. Now I know why. The only good thing about the Thai series is that they are longer in length. I hope South Korea tries to do that more with their shows. Semantic Error being at least 20-25 minutes long really helps with character development and pacing.

Thanks for posting this. I've been obsessed with the show since it started and i was wondering why Seoham looked so familiar. The two leads have great chemistry and It's one of the best BL dramas I've watched so far. I'm also watching First Love Again another BL drama were AOORA of all people is in it. He was in the nugu group AA back in the day. I think its safe to say he's clearly out and was never coy about. Guess what? He's also in the OnlyOneOf clip that was posted in the previous page. It's funny how how a lot of these former boyband members get their start in acting on these BL shows.

I wouldn't disagree. Like all type of relationships they evolve and change. In the beginning of the WooSan coupling San was more forward about it and it seemed to be shipping for the sake of it. Now it's mutual and their relationship (romantic or not) is very strong. I noticed a similar thing with Jackson and JinYoung. A lot of these ships seem to be genuine platonic friendships...however it's rare that you see actual sexual tension (Jinyoung/Jackson) (YiJeong/KyunGil-HISTORY)

I just watched a video of Dawon struggling to do a high while Inseong replicated with ease lol. So yeah I see how weak he is. I'm not a fan of Jimin's tone but Dawon is just more comfortable to listen to. I never knew how skilled Rowoon is, he sounds fantastic here. I'm sorta new to this group.

I’ve been obsessed with SF9 Rumination after hearing TRAUMA and hearing Inseong, Taeyang and Dawoon on leads. Inseong is of course the standout because of his skill but I love his unique tone. I’m also a huge fan of Dawon. I’m curious as to why Dawon is not used more to contrast with InSeong? I think he has the perfect boyband pop vocal tone. Also is Dawon considered a high tenor?

This stuff about Joongki and Yoo Ah In is blowing my mind right now! I had my suspicions about Yoo Ah In after watching my first drama of him in Chicago Typewriter. The Instagram of his friend with Yoo Ah In in a lot of his posts is very telling. I’m shocked about how open he is without actually saying anything.

I didn't know this thread existed. During the pandemic I was introduced to GOT7 and of course JINSON caught my eye. Although a variety of couples can be made since they all seem to enjoy each other company, JINSON stands out the most to me. Yes they have contrasting personalities, but the sexual tension between them sets them apart from the rest. Sometimes I do wonder...

All this toxic masculinity bullshit. Lots of straight people find people of the same sex attractive in a non sexual way. The western world need to get over themselves.

Speaking of actors has their been any gossip on Lee Dong Wook?

Interesting. I never knew of his mental health issues and drug abuse. When I first got into kpop BigBang was at the height of their popularity but I was just an occasional fan of theirs. However TOP peaked my interest when I was browsing through a popular gay American website/message board and someone claimed that he slept with TOP. Back then people in the States barely new what KPOP was so it flew over their heads. I was in my little corner shocked at how random it was. It could have been a shit post but the specifics of the group/TOP and how they where in LA at the time sorta made sense?

I'm sure it does but a groups dynamic can help or hinder it. For example a group like GOT7 (where I think their is obviously a queer member or two) it helps that some members are foreign. Especially when homosexuality is more open in Marks, Jackson's and Bam Bam's homeland. Speaking of GOT7 during the height of the pandemic and quarantining I consumed so much GOT7 content. Reading in between the ships, skinship and fanservice, the usual suspects of Jinyoung and Jackson stuck out to me. I think they are both queer. I know BamBam's name gets thrown around here alot but I just see him as flamboyant and eccentric. Also I think his reactions toward Jinyoung and Jackson's closeness is very telling.

I'm glad they are back and I love the singles Brothers and Last Piece but I have to be honest the album feels a little limp compared to their last few albums. It will take me a few more listens to get used to it. However I love all their live stages and Weekly Idol appearances. Their personalities are the best.
