They aren't a kpop group but are kpop adjacent, but apparently two of the members from Hybe's new GG Katseye are(/were?) openly queer.

They were apparently open about it predebut and fans have screenshots. Knowing Hybe i'm low-key wondering if they are going to force them to cover it up or let them be open about it because they are an oversea group and not specifically a kpop group?

Typical SVT stuff?đź‘€
Just came across their piggyback photos from Europe and they seemed cosy...
Back when they were roommates they were looking very cozy things kind of cooled down for a while but I guess they're back on it.

I had no idea they were roommates. Now I want to know more but, personally in SVT my gaydar goes off for Hoshi (obvi), Mingyu, Dino (I might be the only one who thinks this lol), Minghao, Seungcheol, Seungkwan (just a teensy weensy bit) and Joshua (I don't know why too). I'd have included Vernon and Jeonghan but they are so difficult to read and I don't really see it but others have mentioned them before.

They were roommates for a while. They used to get wine drunk together on the regular and iirc were collecting a wall of wine bottles to decorate their room or something like that. This was ages ago though and most of them live separately now. They've been referring to each other as best friends even before that though. I remember in the early days Mingyu and Wonwoo were the ship but then Mingyu and Minghao had their roommates arc and everything changed. I mean obviously meanie is legendary at this point but it definitely shook things up lol

Dino (I might be the only one who thinks this lol),
i'm with you on this actually! and yesterday's crazy challenge... as vernon probably said, slay

Seungkwan (just a teensy weensy bit)
bless him he's THE fruit, together with his bestie mingyu. so many tells even from many years ago, back when he was very shy and skittish about anything seriously approaching gay territory (a tell in itself). he's just also very good at being an idol and maintaining the perfect image.

vn pings me as bi at the very least, on his own and after seeing his whole history with sk (i tend to avoid delulu shipper territory but these two... wow). agree about jh being hard to read — he's very closed off when he wants to be.

also adding jun to the list. he's been so supportive of the community in many meaningful ways, which might of course simply indicate him being an amazing ally, but his solos.... i can't write them off as allyship, he's so.....

I'm now so invested. I've got to go do more research

True about Jun's solo work lol. Someone on here once made mention of his and Renjun's relationship but I think Jun could just be a supportive brother or sth because Renjun...

please do, it's gold. it's annoying how much i like it considering that i hate the song (i'm sorry even as a gay club music lover i have my limits)

I'm now so invested. I've got to go do more research
i don't really have all my receipts gathered in one place to be too helpful, but as an example: if you watch any of those "seventeen being straight for X minutes" compilations and look at those awful fanservicey games from the olden days (paper kisses, pepero etc.) the boys will often watch their members with at least somewhat entertained expressions while his face is just. pure horror/concern. my interpretation is because all those gay chicken games are not really haha funny to him (hard relate). he'll happily show affection to his members on his own terms though (kiss minghao three times on his birthday live, anything involving vernon, the list goes on).

there was the infamous live with baby minghao replying "boy or girl? 💅🏻" to the question about his type (unbothered king) and while everyone present including the chat started rolling with it, sk seemed genuinely distressed. again, as a closeted person in a conservative country, i caught the vibe.

also: first in line to dance to wonder girls, getting pissed that someone else (and not him) shares the star sign with beyonce noona, HOSHI'S BORDERLINE HOMOPHOBIC LIMP-WRISTED IMPERSONATIONS, etc etc. oh and his reaction to dino dancing to fast forward at this year's caratland haunts me (that's for the people saying that he's never shown interest in men).
i love seungkwan very much

i know... next to nothing about renjun and their relationship ngl so no input on this from me.... but i am curious now

Chanhee honestly never pinged for me (despite public opinion), to an extent I even started to wonder if he’s ace because of how much he’s talk about how he doesn’t want to get married and doesn’t seem interested in romance at all lately, but this makeup interview just dropped and now I’m like :iwillfightyou:



I’m taking the rocky horror with a grain of salt though because let’s be honestly Kevin showed him rocky horror. (Probably CMBYM too cause he’s also a movie buff 🤷‍♀️)

*edit* Another tweet from this interview was posted and apparently the only movies he saw was CMBYN and I’m a cyborg. He never watched the rest and the photoshoot people picked it out.

I sort of retract my statement here then cause in this day in age I feel like watching CMBYN doesn’t prove much anymore?

I feel like to say you really like CMBYN is a very big sign of you're a dude. It's a well acclaimed movie sure but I mean it's also borderline softcore porn at points and there isn't much to it substance wise beyond queerness. But Chanhee has long pinged me beyond just the slightly more femme than average presentation.

Only Hanbin could stand in front of rainbow imagery and do a dance challenge to an Ari/Britney mix and get away with it.

Matthew gives me straight, but I teeter about that sometimes. Lol.

Matthew gives me “that one straight friend who wouldn’t say no to making out with a dude” vibes.

Off topic but I sometimes forget how good of a dancer Hanbin is.
