i found it odd but was a bit sceptical about them being 'silenced' due to it seeming to be the case that all flags were banned on this tour but now that this has come out it's just sad (plus how a deobi asked him to say happy pride on bubble and he didn't but then they asked him to say happy june and he did). i wonder what changed since the last tour.

New homophobic leadership under IST Entertainment??

Wow first time I've ever witnessed a group be this explicit with their support.

the video i posted is the one i was talking about how some lgbtq+ people go on straight reality shows and that guy on the left, changmin, is one of them and was on an mnet dating show. that in particular has nothing to do with single’s inferno

i looked up the cast again and i think it was hyunjoong and oh jin taek that had gay rumours whilst on the show

This is certainly true, there is currently a guy on that reality tv show 'eden' from wavve and i follow him on ig, he's def not straight so i was surprised that he came out there. Let's just say he's tried to clean up his ig page and his follows lol

People are just the worst, the fact that it was a gay person too.... knowing full well what SK is like...i hope karma gets them.

I have a lot of thoughts on Bosungjun so get ready, lol.

  Reveal hidden contents

First want to preface and say that I believe Bosung deserves better and don't think him being bi or having dated only women previously is relevant to the red flags in their relationship. It mainly boils down to their dynamic being very imbalanced and it generally being a bad idea to monetize your relationship and turn it into your main source of income.

Bosung comes off as the more emotionally (and monetarily) invested partner. All their extravagant surprise trips and dates are planned and paid for by him. He also buys Minjun a lot of designer gifts. This wouldn't be so bad if it weren't fueled by this super glam fantasy lifestyle they are trying to lead for their followers and Bosung's lowkey insecurity in their relationship. At times it feels like he believes Minjun will drop him if he can't keep providing that sort of lifestyle to the point that he does these things even when it puts a considerable financial strain. They have over a million subscribers, but the rate thay they blow through money staying at these luxury hotels, buying designer stuff, and that giant apartment they got, I don't see how it's sustainable. 

What irks me more when watching them is how Minjun doesn't do much to offer reassurance and rarely reciprocates. He often plays on that insecurity with the pranks he comes up with, most infamously that break up one he rightfully got dragged for. Bosung will usually drop it if he even thinks Minjun is really upset with him. But in this instance, not only did he choose to fake break-up when Bosung wasn't even in the same city (visiting his homophobic family at that) to even suspect he could be on camera, he was laughing the whole time while Bosung was literally crying and begging in desperation. Then he had the nerve to seek sympathy for getting criticized for doing a fucked up thing. 

Now I don't think Minjun consciously tries to manipulate Bosung or doesn’t care about him at all. But he lacks a lot of self-awareness and comes of self-centered. I think the fact that their channel is their livelihood also drives the unhealthy dynamics because the pranks and trip vlogs rake in views and thus won. There’s a very performative aspect to their channel that you don't get from other smaller couple channels like Mango Couple and Hyungayso as examples. Those aren't perfect couples with zero issues but they come off as more authentic couples who have more maturity and better communication skills to make a marriage work. They also have qualities that balance each other out. Watching Bosungjun, I always come away feeling like Bosung has major "my first gay love" syndrome and Minjun is there to collect a check.

Bosung needs someone who can offer him the kind of assurance he needs where he doesn't make his needs subordinate to his partner's and Minjun needs someone who can call him out when he needs it. There's a power imbalance that leans in Minjun's favor and I personally don't find it enjoyable to watch or rootworthy.

That's my rambling Bosungjun rant for the day, lol.

IDK how they spend their money and that's on them, but i remember Bosungjun's following and views before he had his bf, his success is very much attributed to their relationship. Hopefully that is matched with how their income is divided because it's not a one man show.

There was a Taiwanese BL that came out recently it's called 'Plus and minus' both the actors today have confirmed that they are dating. 

 

WOW. Congrats to them! I did wonder if they were because their 'fan service' was different, it seemed a lot more intimate, including their kisses.

y’all apparently haruto from treasure said a man and a man doing a romcom is weird

and then tried to backtrack by saying i didn’t say i don’t like it as long as it doesn’t cross the line

but i know damn well if i search further about it on twitter, their fans have probably covered everything with excuses and mental gymnastics

especially when people who have said they’re korean speakers and even with a translator, he said what he said

and this is the same group where two members actually kissed lmao

It seems pretty homophobic to me. Kpop stans are insufferable. Instead of coming together and saying this is wrong, they create excuses or start some dumb fanwars. I thought he was Korean, but he's actually Japanese. I thought he would've been a bit more open-minded. I wonder if his group members feel the same way even though they tried to shut it down because they know he's going to get shit for it. As he should!

And of course it was tweeted out by a homophobic Korean.

If anyone is keeping up with that Korean dating show His. I really am starting to feel frustrated with people just picking one guy. I think he is either getting picked by most either because he is openly a top or because he is very good-looking. 

It seems to be going nowhere also the episodes have been cut short by at least 20 minutes because people in Korea really did not want it to be that long so now we only get like 40 minutes and some parts don't make sense cause they cut out a lot. Also weirdly the guy Changmin who is getting picked by everyone doesn't even seem interested in anyone. 

 

I believe they are back to airing two episodes this week, they cut back to one because they were being protested by the religious zealots.

Pre-debut Cha eunwoo,  it probably doesn't mean anything because it's just a photoshoot but still... 

 

lol this was the first video i ever saw of him when i looked his name up and i thought oh this boy might be gay...who knows, I'm sure there are agencies that tell certain idols/actors to butch it up to not only appeal to the general fan base but to secure those leading roles in het k dramas.

I follow Lady GaGa! That means I'm not gay!

It’s because Mina was the only person he accidentally followed and apparently it was at 3am kst (not confirmed). 

I’m not saying it definitely means he’s into women or not, it was just funny. 

The POINT was mostly gay guys listen to Lady Gaga the same when it comes to TWICE. Issa joke. r/ woosh

Clearly whom they follow doesn't determine their sexuality.

TF they wrote articles about a clearly accidental kiss!?

Big gay vibes from both of them from this interview. When they (the hosts) mention close to the start about how soft spoken and kind they seem compared to other English speakers they've experienced I just nodded my head and understood. Also I don't know if anyone else here was a closeted church youth gay but....

Not sure if anyone posted this a while back

This is surprising to me because BTS never participated in large scale events individually and since there were rumors about BTS performing as a group at the World Cup, even the fanbase didn't expect only one member to go. I'd prefer if none of them participated but I'm kinda glad my bias isn't a part of it. I wonder if they wanted the whole group but some members didn't agree or wanted only Jungkook from the beginning. Jungkook filmed a MV in Qatar already and will participate in the official soundtrack. The reactions from the fandom differ. I found many negative comments from Army about it after doing a quick search and they say 'this is the first BTS activity they will not support', some are clueless about World Cup and didn't even know how huge this event is globally and the rest is excited. As expected there's lots of criticism because he's participating from non-Armys as well. I wish it stayed a rumor tbh.

I expected better from him, and it's not like he needed the money or fame—he's already got it all! All those speeches at the UN, etc., just come across as lip service. This is disappointing.

If anyone is interested, a couple weeks ago netflix released a show with the most lgbt mainstream representation i've seen in a korean series, 'somebody'.

(Some spoilers ahead): the four main characters are supposedly part of the lgbt+ community:

• there's a lesbian (with a girlfriend),
• two supposed bi women (they don't have relationships in the show with girls, but both of them have men and women as interests in a dating app and maybe they liked each other in the past, though nothing happens between them).
• the male character seems straight throughout the whole series, dates a lot of women, but then in an episode a woman proposes him a threesome with a guy and, though he doubts at first, he agrees (it never happens because he kills the woman before the man arrives, he's a serial killer in the show).

The thing is that it's never about them liking men or women, that doesn't make their whole personality, which is something i don't usually see in kdramas when they have lgbt characters.

I personally think the show is really bad, the plot is all over the place, but well, there's representation.

No thanks to this type of representation...why is it always dark ass tropes regarding LGBTQ

i think someone asked about sukku before and i found out he was in a podcast where he talked about brokeback mountain. i know that liking an lgtb movie doesnt automatically mean someone is lgbt but what made me go  is that he said it was his favourite movie of all time and used to play it on loop while doing chores, like he was obsessed with and it means a lot to him so its not just "i think this movie is good because of this reason". he is rumoured to have a girlfriend tho and looks kinda real so idk

 

  Reveal hidden contents

he also played a gay character in a movie called black stone but his character r/ed a guy, its basically like his character in that tv show with jung haein but gay (the movie is actually really good but i was expecting a totally different story)

 

It's strange to have that movie playing in the background on repeat... because it's depressing as hell.

i think felix being in the group doesn’t mean rainbow = gay representation.  in korea, idk if it’s something they’d associate with instantly. to them it might just be a rainbow and not any type of statement. there are places where rainbow is just rainbow without any meaning. 

what do we think of this cover?

Yes, I agree; I don't think the colors they associate with might have any special meaning, but I also don't think they're totally ignorant of what the colors of the rainbow can mean at least among the younger population. The younger generation in South Korea has access to free and open internet, thus I'm sure they are aware of or hear news on LGBT issues. Particularly the individuals that are from western nations, like Felix, I just don't believe they are all completely ignorant of its significance.

BTW

The main character in "The New Employee" had a flashback to his time in high school, when he joined the LGBT club "Rainbow Cakes."

i've been seeing quite a few tweets these days insinuating they think hoshi and lee soohyuk have something going on (although i'm sure most are joking because that's just how kpop stans are when it comes to actual gay stuff) but i was wondering if anyone thinks it's a reach, if lee soohyuk pings them as i know nothing about the man etc etc.

(last one is a bit  but apparently the only account lee soohyuk follows on instagram is his own private account so i see how it can be easy to search)

If Hoshi were a woman, most people—specifically, Korean nerizens—would assume that they were in a relationship.

feels like boys planet contestants are already getting celebrity treatment. every day i’m hearing about another guy. there’s so many unserious controversies mixed in with ones that are actually messy

will the final group of boys planet reach similar success to wannaone and x1?

kep1er is doing quite well despite me not hearing as much hype for gp999 as i am with boys planet so i don’t think it’s impossible

adding another boys planet video which isn’t related to controversy even tho jerome doesnt seem to have done anything wrong

in conclusion contestants are either gay or problematic 

Whenever a show of this nature is focused on the contestants, it always seems like a witch hunt. What does it matter that he is merely adjacent to a girl? The yt videos with Edward Avila were how I first learned about their ex group to1, and Jerome and the other two that got removed seemed to be quite gay to me. Hence why i side eye their shitty company.

I don't know about that, but what I do know is that Namewee talked about a male celebrity who betrayed his home country to shill for another, and how that celebrity will hopefully eventually go to jail just like Kris Wu for raping a young female fan of his whom Namewee is close with. Namewee said all this right after Jackson ranted about how western media talks about China at his concert. Make of this what you will.
