I've noticed they photoshop Donghyuk's photos a lot more than the other members, especially around the mouth and chin area. He ends up looking quite different on official photos than he does during performances and interviews. Maybe that's it? idk

Bobby and Jinhwan being straight together because the average straight guy is totally ok with cuddling and resting his arm on his best friend's crotch Honestly Bobby doesn't ping all that much but there are times when I have doubts about him. Just because he's admitted to dating girls before doesn't necessarily mean he has no interest in guys.

 No, because as others pointed out they're not going to bother checking the contents of an international English-language forum.   The second reason is that they can't sue people for speculating on someone's sexuality based on hints they notice in clips and interviews etc... On the other hand, if someone posted "my sister's friend works as a coordi and she told her that A of girl group XYZ is a lesbian", then that person could be in dangerous territory.   But again, entertainment companies won't put the time and effort on foreign sites, unless it's something extremely outrageous that is widely repeated on k-sites. I don't think that's ever happened before since things usually work the other way around - we discuss topics that k-netizens have discussed before.

Jinhwan's pinged me since WIN first aired so the Jimin thing left me confused. I also don't understand why every time a male and female idol are linked together, it automatically has to be that they're dating and not friends? Jimin and Jinhwan have similar tastes, and Jinhwan has a likable personality and is comfortable around girls so it's not a stretch to think he had female friends pre-debut. at least 5 members of iKON were raised as Christians and Donghyuk introduced them to his church members: Interestingly as far as I know, none of them have ever said or done anything homophobic. I'm mentioning this because there are some churches in South Korea that spread an extremely homophobic message. I noticed Christianity has been brought up for discussion a few times in this thread. My personal view on this is the Korean idols who are Christians are not more or less likely to be gay as a result, unless they belong to these extremist churches that are borderline cults IMO. The trainees are bound to meet LGBT staff behind the scenes and these people are more likely to be out than LGBT artists. iKON members have even sent support messages to their gay hair stylist on the opening of his new salon, part of B.I's message said "I hope you meet a close male friend and be happy for a long time". CLOSE MALE FRIEND

Junhwe is pretty easy to read because he doesn't control his expressions well yet and his pleasure or displeasure shows on his face. He also only gives physical affection to the handful of people he likes, like Jinhwan or in highly charged emotional situations like the cryfest at the end of mix and match ep. 6. Outside iKON, Junhwe's very comfortable around Seunghoon but I have no idea if that was just friendship or something else. They're probably too busy to meet these days. [edit] topped so have some Junhwe x Jinhwan

Mino has this weird chemistry with other guys but I'm not really sure what it means exactly. Like his long-running bromance with Zico which could be something else entirely depending on how you look at it. Some of his interactions with winner and ikon members are suspect too. By the way, I don't know if any of you listened to Tablo's show but they brought up the subject of ikon showering together again. Remember Jinhwan said before "we used to shower together" like it was in the past during their trainee days. Now they have 2 bathrooms for the 7 of them and Hanbin confirmed they still take showers together to save time in the morning. Tablo asked something like "but isn't it awkward, don't you bump into each other". Hanbin said yes they did and both him and Jinhwan looked embarassed and they quickly moved on to a different topic.
