  1. I like how people are discussing together about the orientation of their favorite idols, but I would just like to leave a little note and reminder behind.

     

    A lot of international fans are always talking about how their "malexmale ship" between two male idols are cannon and that one or both members of the ship are gay, bi or pansexual. However, I'd like to just question why people think this? Are you able to know their orientation because of their APPEARANCE? Because of the way they ACT? Because of their PERSONALITY?

     

    1. appearance can help people take note of who is gay/bi/pan but it isn't always that obvious. Sure we had the classic example of Joey Graceffa and his boyfriend, but then we have day to day people that pass by you everyday in the street, halls, etc etc and can YOU describe their sexual orientation just by looking at them?

     

    2. The way they act, and their personality can also help see a person's orientation, but with idols we will never know. That is their "on-screen" personality. Some things are just HEAVILY scripted. Unless you know the person yourself, you won't know if this person is acting and pretending or is for real.

     

    Now onto the main part of my speech here.

     

    I'm a korean girl, who has lived in Korea for quite some part of her teenage life. I'd like to let you know the following

     

    1. I'm aware that some of the kpop idols you see are very "feminine" looking and have baby like features. But I'd like to remind you that the majority of the kpop idols that are males that look this "feminine" are usually young. Like around 15-20. Almost all the males that I see in the streets of korea who are that young, and the boys who were also in my class in high school looked "feminine". But after you go into college, you notice that the guys there look much more masculine, and really manly. That's because ASIANS, SPECIFICALLY KOREANS, GO THROUGH PUBERTY AT OLDER AGES

    For example, all of EXO. Have you not seen the way that they changed from MAMA to Lotto? A really really good example in Exo would be Sehun, which is a hot topic in this post, no surprise. He debuted at the age of 17, nearly 18, and was a really good example of a kid who was still maturing that so happened to just get shoved into the limelight. People, including those in the post, would say stuff like "Sehun is gay/bi because he's so touchy with the other members. Because Luhan. Because Tao. Because of how feminine he looked"The biggest excuse out of these, was the whole "Sehun is so touchy"

     

    NEWSFLASH

    koreans are all really really touchy. Like super touchy. to the point that they can bathe together with the same gender. TOGETHER. And this is considered a NORM.

     

    It's the way that Koreans communicate. They want to make the other party comfortable, and want to show that they are close with you and feel comfortable around you. It's a norm to just openly cling onto your friends even if you're a male, and your friends are males. It's a norm that you shove one another and just hug each other and cuddle each other, regardless of the fact that you both are the same genders. And, if you want an example; military life.

     

    i can't speak for all the international countries out there, but in America, a lot of people always see that girls are the only ones who are touchy with one another and are openly borrowing private things with each other and going to the bathroom together and etc etc. But this is Korea, a different place, and they have different societal norms and expectations in terms of friendships and relationships.

     

    And i'd like to end this off with my opinion on Sehun

     

    I can bet you everything in the world that Sehun is as straight as an 180 degree angle, and even straighter than a ruler. First off, he's a person who doesn't really use his words; he said so himself that he's a person who can't express himself with words and tend to use actions instead. He wants to show his hyungs that he's close with them, and care for them, so he uses his actions. Then, you got the whole thing about how koreans are just touchy in general. He's actually on the lower scale of the touchy spectrum, compared to what I see and hear about military life and so on. Also the whole "I like men" controversy; that was something that just blew up internationally because y'all got the wrong translations. There's an impact that remains within the language of korean when it comes to these translations. I can't completely explain it, but when people translate them from Korean to english, they always just press out the facts and then miss out the "feel" of the message.

    So apparently you can't judge idols personality and acts because of the fact that it might me scripted and all that, but you'd also 'bet everything in the world' that Sehun is straigh because he's so caring with his hyungs and that's why he's touchy? (which I honestly don't doubt). That doesn't disprove anything we think about Sehun in this thread, and you are contradicting yourself.

  2. I'm not very excited for NCT Dream, basically because of my age (early 20s), but I'm really glad the concept seems to be age appropiate, I don't think it's that bad (and it's also nothing new lol people seem to forget that) to debut teens as long as they manage it properly. Tho, I still think they could have waited to throw them out there.

    Best of luck to the minis!! :)

  3. I think for Lotto, the song itself will be good if many people weren't so bothered with the autotune.

     

    And I think we don't have to worry that much because, for example, Bonamana was autotuned, too

     

     

    However, the live isn't.

     

     

    So I think these will be those occasions where we will probably enjoy live more :har:

    Omg I didn't know that, I'm looking forward to the live version then!!

     

    ^^ Btw, thanks to you all for the warm welcome, even tho I wasn't too positive lol â¤ï¸[emoji4]

  4. Hey, I'm a pretty quiet fan of EXO, but I just wanted to drop by to say that I'm pretty mad at whoever thought it was a good idea to autotune the shit out of Lotto, I'm actually really sad because I was expecting so much and this happened. However I will say this, I think the song without the autotune could have been actually a great song. The MV is really cool tho (except the cockfighting... Don't ever do that again SM [emoji58][emoji19])

    Can't bring me down and She's dreaming are good songs, I like them, specially CBMD.

    Anyway, this is my opinion,

    I hope none of you take offence.

  5. I have a question about Leo, which is my bias in VIXX, well more like I want to hear different opinions on what I've been thinking lately:

     

     

    I believe since he started to promote with Ravi and after that he seems to be totally different of how he used to be.

    Do you guys think is because of the fact that he had to talk more since they were only two that he's now way more open and smiles/laughs more? Or maybe he's happier now that he's grown more as an artist? I kinda feel like maybe the company made him (to some degree) play the misterious/scary guy role? I mean, I think he's naturally very shy and introverted but maybe not as much as he made it seem. OFC I'm not saying he's fake, at all, I'm just saying that maybe he tried to keep that image because that was his "role" n VIXX and it obviously was working, he's one of the most popular members.

     

     

    Ugh, sorry for my grammar, english is not my first language and I kinda struggle to explain myself properly :(

  6. Lmao I feel like I'm in We Got Married, 3 dates with this guy and still hasn't kissed me.

    If he hadn't told me he wants to go on a date again I'd think he's not interested at all lol
