Which male idols do you think are gay?


Recommended Posts

can't believe all of bts' rap line is bi

 

Going back to suho, I don't mean to sound sceptical about him being gay (really i want it to be true just because his fans get super pressed about it, lol), but is there any actual pseudo-evidence that he and donghwan are dating? Obviously we wouldn't need to be speculating if there was any conclusive evidence, but imo he's not as obvious as sehun for example, and I really don't see anything going on between him and donghwan that would make me think they are not just very good friends (?) Like, they could be a thing but also they could very well not, and I don't see anything particularly telling in their interactions and stuff that would make me go ''oh there's definitely something there'' (although to be fair we don't get to see them together almost ever).

Um...yeah lol, quite a lot actually. And I would definitely go as far to say that there is a lot more proof that Suho and Donghwan are dating rather than Sehun and Chefsuke (although I personally believe that both couples are together). I made a masterpost here (which continues on into the next post), but I'll post their most "important" receipts (imo) in case you don't have the time right now to read through all of that lmao, under spoiler because pictures are big

 

 

 

  • The sauna picture where Donghwan literally said they've been together for 3 years. Went to a sauna together and the caption was "Taking a sauna together after a long time. Always and unconditionally rooting for and appreciating each other #sauna #itsbeen3years #together".  Caption was then changed to simply “saunaâ€.

 30d28c5aa0619fb61fe1b74af3fe5b2b.jpg

  • That time Donghwan called Suho his mother's third son (he has a brother) - translation: “Mum came to Seoul. Happy !!!!!!! Date !! #Mum #I love you #Second #And third #I love you too… ã…‹â€5baf214a881ff831308ee82d8b6170e5.jpg
  • When they went to see King Lear with Sehun, just the three of them
  • The time he thanked Suho for always sticking around for him on New Year's in 2015 - translation: “I hope only good things happen during the new year!!!! Thanks for saving me Junmyeon while I was laying down alone. Best wishes and thank you. #everyone #happy new year #thanks for #saving me†tumblr_nhhxuzDnll1riav2to1_500.jpg
  • This picture...yeah tumblr_ob4auokVwp1rons2ho1_1280.jpg
  • Donghwan accompanying Suho to Jonghyun's funeral hall
  • When Suho did a Vlive and called Donghwan his soulmate - transcript of what he said: "During the process of writing lyrics I talked with my soulmate actor Kim Donghwan, who changed his stage name to Siwan. As a soulmate, we travel and talk a lot together. We talk about our lives, acting, and music. We read drama scripts together. [...] He helped me a lot. I think we're soul friends." In the same Vlive, he also said that Donghwan helped him to write "Do You Have a Moment?", a song about meeting and falling in love at first sight with your significant other (and the lyrics are also gender neutral)
  • When they went to a music festival together

  • When Suho posted a picture of himself shirtless on his Instagram account and Donghwan commented "my heart has stopped~"
  • Just general flirting on their Instagrams
  • Also the numerous times they've travelled together, been pictured with friends, Donghwan coming to see Suho's musicals etc
  • Chanyeol also follows Donghwan like he does with Chefsuke, and Chefsuke and Donghwan follow each other

 

 

 

TL;DR: Suhohwan invented love lovestruck.png

From BTS' new Entertainment Weekly interview:

I’m still super new to kpop in general, so I don’t know EXO that well, but holy shit this is so cute! Aren’t Suho and Sehun super close too? I’ve read that they are so it’s interesting then that both Donghwan and Chefsuke follow each other.

Yep, Sehun and Suho are gay best friends! In fact in the early days of EXO, Sehun, Tao, Suho, and Donghwan all used to be in the same friendship group together with various other actors, and the first EXO member posted on Donghwan's Instagram was actually Sehun! I'm not sure about Tao, but I know that Donghwan and Sehun are definitely still friends, and I'm assuming that Donghwan and Chefsuke have met each other rlytearpls.png

Wbk that Chanyeol has been a bisexual legend since forever but there are still people that remain blind to his chaotic bisexual energy idontthinksobetchplz.png

I was lurking the gay thread yesterday and I was surprised when I read this lol I guess my gayday for men is bad lol

I thought he was one of the straightest guys from exo don't get me wrong I would love for him to be gay but I thought he had a crush on Jisoo and Irene if he ends up in relationship with a girl would you guys be surprised?

Irene and Jisoo are both lesbian icons so obviously any form of interaction Suho has with them means he's just trying to take them under his wing as a gay mentor in a show of gay-lesbian solidarity

gretchen18.gif

 

Also I literally stan Suho and have never seen him show any kind of attraction towards Irene or Jisoo (or any woman actually) and the day I believe in a delulu Surene video is the day that hell freezes over, especially as we've literally had Surene shippers come into the thread and say that Suho is straight so in general I don't have a very good opinion of them imstupid.png And never mind the fact that het shippers will literally believe in a ship where they glance at each other a couple of times but god forbid that you talk about the very real possibility of Suho dating Donghwan lmao

So BTS' new album just came out and the song "Dionysus" has some interesting lyrics:

 

 

In Namjoon's verse, he says "In one hand, a liquor glass / In my other hand, a thyrsus". In the translator notes: "A thyrsus is a staff held by Dionysus which represents prosperity, fertility, hedonism, pleasure. It is suggested that the staff itself represents a penis." From the official Wikipedia page for a thyrsus: "The thyrsus, associated with Dionysus (or Bacchus) and his followers, the Satyrs and Maenads, is a symbol of prosperity, fertility, hedonism, and pleasure/enjoyment in general. It has been suggested that this was specifically a fertility phallus, with the fennel representing the shaft of the penis and the pine cone representing the "seed" issuing forth. The thyrsus was tossed in the Bacchic dance:

 
Pentheus: The thyrsus— in my right hand shall I hold it?
Or thus am I more like a Bacchanal?
Dionysus: In thy right hand, and with thy right foot raise it"
 
So...yeah, basically Namjoon is saying he's holding a penis in his hand 0u0plz.png I know it may be a bit of reach, but it would be such a Namjoon thing to write a line using obscure gay Greek mythological theories lmao
 
I also think "I'll show you, I'm pushing something new / A mic made of ivy and rough wood / There's no sound that comes out / In one breath" is pretty interesting too lol
 

Serving Jonghyun "what's in my hand is not a glass" teas

I thought he was gay

https://twitter.com/balloon_wanted/status/1120160131960856576?s=21

(Let’s hope it’ll post this time, what’s up with OH recently?)

Taehyun is one of the few idols who I'm 100% sure is nonhet, and I'm like 99.9% sure he's gay. I really cannot see him dating a woman tbh, so lemme bring out the receipts lmao:

 

  • Not even gonna try and embed this video because OH is a mess rn but at 2:55 in
    , South Club (the band Taehyun is in) are playing a game called "Two Truths and One Lie", which is a game where you say two true statements and one false statement, and the people you're playing with have to guess which one is the incorrect statement. Taehyun's 3 statements are "1. I like girls, 2. I suffer from bipolar disorder, 3. I suffer from insomnia". In this article Taehyun mentions suffering from bipolar disorder and insomnia and afaik he's mentioned his mental health issues multiple times, so we know those 2 statements are true, which then obviously leaves the "I like girls" statement as a lie. You can also see the other members laughing kinda awkwardly and glancing off-camera
  • His solo song
    , one of the songs in the OP of this thread, has male pronouns and he also said that he wrote the song after going through a painful break-up 
  • Getting a "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" tattoo, saying he wants to play the character of Hedwig, and then when asked why: "I think I can represent this character better than most people except for John Cameron Mitchell. In the company I was in before I entered YGE, I went through very ridiculous training, if you see me then you would think I'm gay. have watched and absorbed the actions and aura of lots of homosexual artists' MVs. Hedwig is a man and also a woman. This is also the sense of beauty that I strive for so I can portray it well." And then he tried to cover all of that up with this lmao: "I am just a heterosexual person, and I have no judgement on people with different sexual orientations. My compositions and performance is developed without these boundaries."
  • He named South Club after his favourite movie "Dallas Buyers Club", a movie about the HIV/AIDS crisis and the LGBT community
  • Auditioning with MIKA's
  • When he was on that show with WINNER and brought up the fact that trainees didn't want to share rooms with him because they thought he was gay and denied being gay even though no-one brought it up lol
  • Rumours that he had a boyfriend predebut
  • His sus relationship with Samuel Seo
  • The fact that the actor Bae Jung-Nam bought clothes for Taehyun multiple times
  • Him and Mino were lowkey sus as well but you didn't hear that from me
  • Posting about the movie "Carol" on his Instagram (post has since been deleted)

And I'm sure there's more but that's all I can think of right now

 

To conclude: Taehyun gay legend, Jang Jane beard

Okay it's like 1am here so sorry if I sound seriously delulu with this post but: Even if Taehyun was straight or bisexual or whatever, I can't see this relationship being real imstupid.png

 

First of all, there's this video, which allegedly shows them going on a date. Because of course Korean celebrities go on secret dates in broad daylight with no facemasks, and of course they don't notice some random journalist following them with those loud camera shutters. Also it seems to me this video is insinuating that they went on this date on the 21st of April, a day before the news broke, and this journalist somehow had time to conveniently edit in a screenshot of the article that confirmed the dating, and then post the video on the same day. 

 

And then there's this video

 

Which honestly reads like a scripted conversation. Like...they have no chemistry and it just seems so wooden, like it came right out of a K-drama fdkdf. This teaser was also dropped the day after the scandal, most likely to build up hype for the show

giphy.gif

 

Like to me even if Taehyun wasn't gay, this honestly just seems like a fake relationship to promote the show they're on together imstupid.png

I'm just curious, but what do u think of the kinda homophobic/close minded stuff he's said in the past? I think it was talked about in the thread before (stuff he's said) so idk what to think when he says sus stuff like this

Well...that makes both of us sis 0u0plz.png  

Bobby is definitely an interesting guy. I think we just have to wait and see how he acts in the future, because the sus things he's been saying recently contrast sharply with all of the mildly homophobic things he's said in the past. Maybe he's going through the process of discovering his own sexuality or maybe he's just become more accepting and open-minded lately, who knows. I think maybe he's started to mature and grow as a person, like GOT7's Jaebum.

 

As for the video - I don't want it to seem like I'm defending them or #OppaDidn'tMeanIt - it was uncomfortable and upsetting to watch, but personally I am not...very angry at Hanbin (the guy who did the prank). Was it stupid to do it while being filmed and make it look like you're mocking the struggles of LGBT people? Absolutely. But I have always believed Hanbin is bisexual and that has never wavered - and in fact I think he was using it as an excuse to test the waters of coming out, to see what his mother would say. It's not uncommon, I have a few gay friends who have done it so that if it all went south they could be like "haha just kidding!" Again, it was totally stupid and tasteless for him to do this while being filmed for a show that your fans will watch, but whatever (of course if I learnt that Hanbin was straight I would drop him like a hot potato lmao). To be honest, my main problem with the video was how the other members reacted (namely Bobby, Donghyuk, Yunhyeong, and Chanwoo), like it was so hilarious and outlandish that Hanbin could like men. It also didn't help that the production team added a comment saying that the news "would be unstable for his mother". From what I remember, Junhoe and Jinhwan, two members who I believe to be gay and bi, didn't react like the other members did and Jinhwan in particular seemed uncomfortable with what was going on. As I've said before, the video pretty much made me an akgae of the gay line imstupid.png

 

Again, don't want it to seem like I'm defending them, just wanted to offer my own insight.

60% sure junmyeon broke up with dongwan now (last time he was seen with donghwan was late december last year). Since 2019, all he does is spend time with yonghun. plus the guy came out of nowhere lol.

 

 

The last time Suho commented on one of Donghwan's posts was March 26th, which is his most recent post (bearing in mind Suho doesn't follow anyone on Instagram so either he has a private Instagram account or stalks Donghwan's account). The last post of Suho's that Donghwan liked is from the 25th of April. So I really don't think they broke up 0u0plz.png  I'm also not ruling out that it's feasible for them to travel together in secret, like they did at the start of 2017 when they went to LA. 

 

In my opinion, they've made it very clear that they don't like fans commenting on the nature of their relationship (same with Sehun and Chefsuke), which I believe is why the last time Suho appeared in one of Donghwan's Instagram posts was July 2015. I'm not worried lol, we literally get like 3 receipts from them a year and to be honest if you wanted to make a case for them "taking a break" then 2017 probably would be your best bet (but even if that did happen, I think they're together now). Honestly due to messy fans, any possible relationships that EXO members have with other people eventually end up going virtually underground - for example, I think that Sehun and Chefsuke are taking the Suho and Donghwan route now, as we haven't gotten anything from them in 5 months (although Kyungsoo's recent selfie with Chefsuke + Chefsuke still liking all of Sehun's Instagram posts indicates to me that they are still together). Even Mackenyu and Chanyeol aren't as public as I believe they want to be because some messy EXO fans led Mackenyu to remove the "angel" from his caption (when talking about Chanyeol) and add in "w/ my best friend from Korea" in English. So until I see anything that indicates any of these couples have actually broken up, I still believe that they're together.

Just dropping by some updates of EXO and their boyfriends:

Spoiler

Sehun and Chefsuke:

July 2019 - Chefsuke went to EXO's concert and met up with EXO-SC afterwards

Suho and Donghwan:

May 2019 - Donghwan was one of the first people to wish Suho a happy birthday

June 2019 - Picture of them and their friendship group

4tttTu6ghbekL7ZA5hJ4We5FCpuvB5wpuZLBKngU

July 2019 - Donghwan came to see EXO in concert

25Hj06Zxjp2VKpK1GlkgiAS3n_Fj6eH3qZy-k-IVZFLtccMPW_B9mgiZzoeXLlijRi5JpI-t5LcmIyyLvL-NbmDwRV1Xn4p7UE4Ps0KZ

Other speculation:

 

  • Donghwan and Suho travelling to Paris together just the two of them - usually when Suho travels somewhere, his friends will post a picture of them in the same location as him but no one did this when he went to Paris, although we know he was there with someone 
  • Donghwan possibly travelling to LA with Suho, Jonghun, and someone else in 2017
  • Friendship group actively covering up that Donghwan goes on vacations with them - over summer this year their entire friendship group minus Donghwan went to Jeju, even though there's no reason that Donghwan wouldn't go - a k-fan also linked a picture of Donghwan sitting on a beach to a picture of Suho on a beach in Jeju
  • Friendship group blurring out face of a man at the table at someone’s birthday dinner
  • That time Suho went out with Donghwan + some other people and a k-fan posted a picture of them and mentioned everyone’s names except Donghwan - possibly ignoring Donghwan or using nickname
  • Suho, Donghwan, and Jonghun (at least) went to see Parasite together - they posted about it on their IG stories
  • Chanyeol possibly giving Donghwan his Iron Man mask
  • Not breaking up in 2017: instead strategically deleted posts (and still left some up to make a point) and edited captions in order to take fans' eyes off them so much

Chanyeol and Mackenyu:

May 2019 - Mackenyu said that he's meet Kyungsoo, Kai, and Xiumin

May 2019 - How they met

June 2019 - Chanyeol goes to Japan for only a day, then comes back to Korea. During that time he met Yamada Takayuki, one of Mackenyu's close friends (and they were in a movie together), making it likely that Mackenyu was the one to introduce the two of them. Also unconfirmed but him and Mackenyu were apparently seen eating together at the airport

July 2019 - Mackenyu mentioned Chanyeol in an interview. Trans: Friends #01 - International Exchange: "i met austin mahone through a samatha thavasa commercial we appeared in together. also, i have lots of south korean acquaintances. my first was FTISLAND’s hongki and i, we’re really close, because of him i was able to visit south korea more. exo’s chanyeol hyung is a close friend of mine. on christmas, shirota yuu-kun, one ok's taka, shimizu shouta-san, chanyeol hyung, d.o., and i had a karaoke competition. everyone sung their own song and it was a super over-the-top time. it was healing to our ears. i said ‘makken, this is [??]’ [can’t finish the rest of the sentence bc it can’t be read properly]". Makes it likely that Chanyeol and Mackenyu hung out together on Christmas Eve (Japanese version of Valentine's Day).

July 2019 - Chanyeol recommends the songs "Long Ago and Far Away" and "I've Never Been In Love Before" by Chet Baker, both with very romantic lyrics

July 2019 - Mackenyu commented on Chanyeol’s instagram post for ‘What a Life’ saying 「かっこいい」(cool/handsome)

August 2019 - Chanyeol said that he speaks to Japanese actors exclusively in Japanese and that when he went to see "Kinky Boots" earlier in the year, he understood about 80% of it. Since late 2018, EXO members have commented that Chanyeol has gotten a lot better at Japanese, making it likely Mackenyu is the cause. His English has also improved (Mackenyu is fluent in both Japanese and English).

August 2019 - Mackenyu said one of his favourite artists is EXO

Also not recent, but this pic from Mackenyu's fancafe taken in January:

chanyuu.png?width=300&height=300

There is also this video from Mackenyu's fancafe, also from January:

In the background, you can hear Chanyeol speaking and a person who sounds a LOT like Chen, along with at least one other voice. If the person in this video is Chen, that means that Mackenyu has met 4 other EXO members (Kyungsoo, Kai, Xiumin, and Chen). It is also possible that he has met Baekhyun, as in an interview some time ago Chanyeol said to Baekhyun "when we go to Japan you have to meet my friend". 

Something else worth noting is the aforementioned karaoke competition:

Everyone that Mackenyu mentioned in his interview is in this picture - apart from Chansoo. The date matches, the caption also mentions karaoke, and everyone is present apart from Chansoo - however if you look at the back you can see that at least 1 person is being hidden under all those hands (in my opinion it looks like 2 different people). I'm not saying that Chanyeol and Kyungsoo are being covered up for whatever reason, but...

Another thing that I found interesting is EXO-SC's album, specifically the lyrics for Closer To You and Just Us 2. Chanyeol's verse in Closer To You: " You outshine actors even under the fluorescent light / You outshine singers when you’re humming pop songs / Even at the time / It’s too noisy here come a little closer / Come close / You’re so pretty I feel a thrill after a long time" - everyone in attendance at the karaoke competition was either an actor or singer. I also found Chanyeol's verse in Just Us 2 interesting: "I think we endured well three of the four seasons / The midsummer is coming slowly to us fade in / Finally we have longer days but our vacation is too short / Let's go anywhere search a place that’s not on GPS / Avoiding the news reporters’ cameras / No need to care about our fashion at the airport / My pool villa room is a penthouse without even a room number / All we need today is a passport". The lyric "three of the four seasons" especially jumps out to me as Mackenyu and Chanyeol met sometime in September, so in my opinion this matches up with the timeline of their relationship (as in the last season they hadn't experienced yet together was summer). 

TL;DR - Sehoyeol and their boyfriends are still doing great :lovestruck:

You guys really think chanyeol might be gay/bi? He gives me strong het vibes tbh

I think he's bi. He's said a lot of sus things that some people prefer to sweep under the rug (the amount of times he's talked about his heart fluttering for a man, his obsession with Nick Wilde to the point that he even has/had a pillowcase with Nick's face on it, saying he wants to go to Italy to see the handsome men there, the times he's remained inclusive e.g "male x male chemistry", "he doesn't have a boyfriend either"). And now his relationship with Mackenyu is pretty sus as well (the thing that really secured it for me was Mackenyu being introduced to the other EXO members lol, that only happens when things start getting serious :lol: ). Not to mention that Mackenyu himself has gay rumours and literally every single one of his friends is rumoured to be gay too lmao. 

My personal theory is that Chanyeol used to be an ignorant a-hole but in the past few years he's grown up, matured, and became more comfortable with his sexuality (in the early years it almost seemed like he was overcompensating because of his insecurity). And now I believe he's dating a man so good for him :imstupid:

(Also think that if he wasn't so tall or muscular people (in general, not specifically you) would be more inclined to believe that he likes men but that's a discussion for another time.)

uhmmm it wasn't exactly this one. Yeah this is what happened in the other video but the other one was longer and filmed from another angle, a little farther. It's a pity we don't have the original, but yes, thank you very for illustrating us.

Maybe I was tripping but I think I saw that man twerking lol

The other video didn't really have much in it, just Chanyeol pushing the guy away completely. The shorter video is what has the most important event in it (i.e that guy squatting in front of Chanyeol then embracing him). Unfortunately I am far too used to the behaviour of homophobic fans so I save videos such as this Chanyeol video and the video of Sehun with that guy at his friend's wedding (also wiped off the Internet lol) so rest assured we will hopefully not be experiencing another moment again where gay videos get completely wiped off the Internet for a brief period of time such as Hoseok's "I want a boyf-girlfriend" video :lol:
