1. [+4416, -357] So out of the blue...

2. [+3647, -758] ‘Proud’ is a little much…

3. [+2921, -320] As expected, Apple is different

4. [+1982, -292] ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹

5. [+944, -90] That innovation that Apple told us would all be coming… it was about the CEO coming out

6. [+820, -107] Imagine if he secretly loved Steve Jobs.. what a perfect story that would be..

7. [+714, -36] If the Samsung CEO or a Korean conglomerate came out like that, I wonder what the reaction would be.. I’m not trying to be sarcastic, I’m genuinely curious.

8. [+705, -162] Steve Jobs is rising from his grave now

9. [+523, -37] The world’s most powerful gay

10. [+523, -72] This will inspire gays all over the world

Another article of same title

1. [+997, -102] Doesn’t matter… just make good products ㅠㅠ

2. [+684, -106] It wasn’t really a secret

3. [+629, -229] He’s really brave

4. [+534, -137] This is really shocking news, isn’t it? His courage is amazing.

5. [+357, -109] I knew that he was gay, but this reminded me again

6. [+134, -31] There are gay people all around you. They’re just not admitting it

7. [+132, -31] Oh..my… I guess Hong Seokcheon is going to be switching to the iPhone 6 now..

8. [+86, -4] Hugo Barra: “This is going to be hard to copy.†**

9. [+107, -38] Still, even if he’s gay, Tim Cook is better than all the other extras who always show up on the Naver homepage….ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

10. [+96, -43] He’s a person like everyone else, just with different sexual preferences

*T/N: Hong Seokcheon is probably the most famous gay celebrity in Korea.

**T/N: Hugo Barra is the VP of Xiamo, an Apple competitor in China, that received criticism for copying Apple’s products.

Good comments. The comments in the other article are quite childish.

Wow, Knetz are actually being nice here. Even more surprising since it's about LGBT. 

 

 

Things are really changing in Korea on this issue, they seem to be accepting it pretty fast. Well, the young generation at least.

Let's be real if he was Korean and worked for oh say Samsung for ex and came out K netz would be bashing the shit out of that person just like they did that fashion designer guy who had a younger boyfriend and wanted to petition the govt to be able to marry him. They said nasty things and told the couple to go away and be quiet. So, let's not fool ourselves.

He is not Korean.

If gay Korean CEO or famous come out they will bash and get hate message on social media.

 

That why most idol don't come out gay because of their society. I bet a million dollars when a Japanese CEO and idol come out gay. They don't bash him or her they just don't care.

 

Korean have problem with homosexuality than Japanese and Chinese.sad true.
