rn we can only be sure about seunghan not being gay

Congrats to Kevin of finally fulfilling his dream of seeing Beyoncé in person:

Unless he has it in his bag, he said he was originally going to wear this chain bra with his outfit but I guess chickened out?

Sohee too. He was pictured going to hunting bars.

There's also an older rumor (from his neo days) about Sungchan having dated a female trainee. But real or not, I've always thought Sungchan and Shotaro were straight anyway.

Tbh I'm wondering if Riize could end up being SM's "straightest" boygroup.

i was thinking the vest looked a bit plain until i scrolled and saw he was originally going to wear that chain bra.. we've been robbed.. he would've devoured that..

3rd dude is giving

i wonder if those people in the photo are his friends or just people these news reporters found and gathered for a photo

i actually love kevin. it's a shame IST takes advantage of his artwork and effort in the group.. he's such a gift to the group but so underrated. even, internationally, he's not as popular as sunwoo or juyeon etc.

with new groups we will only have to see. It's hard to tell. I mean I was in a straight relationship but I turned out pretty gay and not to say that everyone who is in a straight relationship is gay secretively it's just that we can't be sure.

i love to see the boys planet gays continuing to do gay shit even after the ending of the show

I found this VERY suspect... Jungkook showing up with this hickey on his neck after a night out of drinking with jimin... There's no heterosexual explanation for this

Well as expected no one was able to find one received from Ren showing male attraction,so it assume that his assumption that he is gay is purely stereotype

Ps: It is worth mentioning that i am a man,i am not a girl wanting to marry oppa"

[oh my dora]

 

so confused because this isn’t even a BL anyways, he called it that but it’s the one that’s being bromancified

secondly, jaechan saved his group through bl, so i don’t get why they even get any comments about this m

its good for woonggi to get something. at least he’s more popular than the group he got kicked from

Is anyone watching Love Class 2? BAE173's J-Min is in it and it's a really good show so far. It airs 2 more episodes tomorrow and 2 more next week so we'll see how it wraps up. 

It has 3 couples, but it handles it well. There's a lot of discussions online about how there must be an LGBTQA+ person on the writing cast. Reason being the show seems to touch on aspects and nuances like being afraid to out yourself, male sex work, and one night stands. 

Don't want to spoil too much, but I do like the overall plot and characters, and J-Min's character is my favorite

 

Obvious spoilers though

 

 

 

Some stuff of the other couples, but even more spoilery.

did anyone see ricky saying him and gyuvin are boyfriends.?? like straight up directly lol

+ he got him a gucci ring and gave it to him privately on his birthday. the last week has really changed my whole perspective on 04z

i did see that but he also said something about not wanting people to misunderstand him saying that which i assume means "don't think of this as a dating announcement or anything" and i feel like him caring about that could mean something in either direction (the directions in question being straight or lgbt)  who knows though

Apparently the production company has confirmed that it is back to being a BL. There was a lot of backlash about them straight washing a queer story, so they must’ve made changes.

oh, i hope the tag saying BL actually means it then. stay with me is the only show that can get away with it not being fully bl because it's censored, but just enough to still be very prevalent

cause if you wanna make a straight web drama, then use your own content.. like gtfo with the using queer stories to represent *more* heterosexuality like at spring end of green or whatever,,,

you'd think semantic error would've proved something but perhaps we need more hits like that before it starts being taken seriously. back in sotus, love sick, make it right days, bl wasn't an establishing career in thailand, and look at it now.. maybe some day, we'd get somewhere in korea

however, most shows with idols in it so far have been a bit disappointing.. i was so hyped for starstruck before it was airing... hh anyways

Hello everyone. What is your unpopular opinion? Also, please explain your theory behind your opinion. 

I'll go first.

I think ChaEun woo is bi

Explanation: Chaeunwoo in an interview being asked how would you like to meet someone? and him saying 자만추 which means 'naturally though life's circumstances' and it's a pretty new gen word that the older people didn't know what he meant so he said and I am putting this in the literal translation 'Man or woman, I would like---[someone interrupts him and he starts his sentence all over again] Man or woman I would like to meet them naturally' 

He says the same thing twice because he got interrupted the first time and in both instances he very clearly says 'Namja'

Jimin is sus with either sungwoon or Lee Saeon. One of them.

I just thought I’d update, but Kevin went to a second Beyoncé concert, this time the one in LA with some famous gay fashion designer called Jeremy Scott?

I also know Kevin said before he bought Beyoncé tickets for his whole family to go, so unless that concert already passed I’m assuming he will be going a third time as well?

Of what I understand from the story, Kevin mentioned last year being a fan of Moschino and Jeremy reached out to him on TikTok, Kevi then got invited to some Moschino event in Seoul a few months shortly after that.

At the event Kevin then said Jeremy asked for his WhatsApp (he didn’t have it before so Kevin had to specifically downloaded it for Jeremy) and Jeremy talks to him a lot on it. They also planned to go to the concert together as well?

[sergel]

I know that they aren't technically Kpop idols, but since they are idols kind of created using a kpop system with Produce, does anyone have any thoughts on JO1 or INI?

Both groups were formed through the Produce Japan shows as permanent groups, and I've gotten into them lately (mostly JO1 due to their cover of Super).

Since they're still popular idols, I doubt we'd get anything major compared to major musicians in Japan (like Ayumi Hamasaki), but some things have been fun to check out.

There was the time some members went on a gay radio station and tried to guess the most popular member among gay men. I'm waiting for the day this happens in Korea lol.

 

They did have a photoshoot in a gay club apparently (not sure if it actually is but that naked man in the 2nd pic makes me think yes). But it is just a photoshoot.

 

Their leader Sho is someone who seems supportive at least. At their recent concert he gave a fanboy a hug.

 

They apparently have quite a few male fans, especially gay men (I guess Produce JP was popular in that demographic), so it could just be a Jiwoong situation, but in either case it is still nice to see male idols being affectionate to their male fans, since they could totally get by without doing so.

There was this moment at 10:28 when they were bowling and he said "from the boyfriend's perspective" and quickly changed it to girlfriend. Lol I remember hearing "Kareshi" and taking a double take.

One of the covers he's done recently was Elton John's "Your Song." 

He also seemed to be good friends with Ryuchell before they passed away this year.

Interesting, I never thought there would be a jo1/ini post here. I've been a fan of both groups since debut and I have a quite few takes regarding them.

JO1: The member that it's likely to be part of the community is Ren. Months ago he said on a program that "He wanted to live with someone he trust, no matter if it was a man or woman".

I have a hunch regarding Yonasho, mostly because he has always been supportive of male fans and also hanged out with Ryuchell. There was a quite interesting video of something Ryuchell said about Yonasho back when they debuted that it made me go (he was telling Yonasho always commented his posts with "how cute", inviting him to meals, etc) Ryuchell was married at that time though, so that's something to consider and also they had a friendship group from Okinawa.

 

INI: I've been more updated with them since they're my ultimate fav jpop group and Fengfan definitely is interesting. 

He posted the next post on pride month:

And also, some INI members went to a radio interview and talked about social issues, Fengfan talked about lgbtq issues and also gender issues.

 

To be honest keeping up with the receipts it's difficult since most of the content is behind the paid wall (and jpop fans are very jealous and dont like to share paid content) and a lot of content also is not translated. But I bet they have more interesting to content that got lost and I don't remember .

with woosan, i'm not that much into ateez, so idk.. it can be that they're actually hiding in plain sight, because anything affectionate they do will be named as fanservice, it could be that they themselves decided on fanservice, or the company does it for more exposure or just for content.. and depending how much you're into them, you'll think different things..

this entire thread is heartwarming. kevin went through the true fan experience, like deobis do for them. he waited 13 hours.. and the way kpop fans do longer than this.. i'm glad he was able to vibe with the people around him, and that he got barricade.. like yas good for him!! 

i think kevin would be good at youtube. he said he's working on a vlog but i assume that's on tbz's channel. i think it would be great if he could do more like i enjoyed when he was on get real

also, he said they said his name is trending on twitter, so i wonder if he told them he's from a kpop group
