Welcome. Haha.

If I'm having to pick only one, it's definitely Yoo Ah-In. There's no contest.

But there are some with a decent amount of discussion. Gong Yoo, Gong Myung, Byeon Wooseok. You could argue Cha Eunwoo as well.

As a gay myself, I do have a list of men that ping my gaydar!

Gong Yoo, Lee Dong-wook, Im Siwan (poor guy, he has to be tired of people always being so in his face about his sexuality lol) and, I may be alone in this, but Kang Ha-neul. I know they are mostly all on Squid Game but since it is the last series I watched, it is the recency bias working here lol.

They are not the only ones on that cast that ping for me, but I do have to say it is more of wishful thinking, like Wi Ha-joon and Lee Jung-jae (yeah I know).

Not saying I am right or that they are all gay, I know bisexuality and not labeling is as fair. But just wanted to add my two cents. I am a lurker too. Hi!

Hi everyone!

Thank you so much for your answers? It is impossible to find (gay) gossip about the Korean (or Japanese, Chinese and Thai) celebrities (in English).

About the celebrities you guys mentioned: are they old rumours? What made the public think that they were gay?

Have a nice day (or evening) :):)

Hi and welcome! The idea of a long time lurker... feels like this thread just started haha

Im Siwan has had a lot of rumors but he always denies. Seems like every time he takes a new role there's a new rumor. Didn't seem like much this time for Squid Game though?

Totally forgot about him. Probably because the rumors are constant, but then he films a literal bl and there's no chemistry to speak of. 💀

I'd say lee soohyuk as well

Kang Ha Neul doesn't get mentioned a lot, what sets your gaydar of about him?

I don't think there's anything visible or clockable that sets it off. I just have this feeling whenever I see him, I connect/relate a lot. I could be completely wrong though! But it is that feeling. Same feeling I get with all the others I mentioned btw. In life my gaydar has being spot on and other times not at all hahaha

Some things can be found in this thread if you go back far enough. Others would be in the old OH thread. The rumors or vibes vary depending on the person. Gong Yoo, for example, had been talked about for ages with his chronic bachelorhood. Eunwoo is relatively recent. Just the last couple years.

Namjoon is a new ping. Is it because he just became relevant? Haha. Now I'm gonna have to watch one of his dramas.

Jongkook has had rumors for a while, if I remember correctly. He's just never in anything I watch and workout vids aren't my thing, so I can't add much there.

**Also, thoughts on Kim Jaeyoung?

I watched his drama 'your honor' last year and after that seeing some of his interactions with the other actor I was a bit sus, but it's been a while that I don't see anything about him
I used to see a lot of people mentioning jongkook on OH but I don't know much about him, for me he just seems a dude very interested in gym and only that
jaeyoung pinged me for a while

Do you recommend it or just the bts stuff?

I think it was another chronic bachelor situation. @mimenet do you remember anything about Jongkook's receipts? Haha.

Jaeyoung no longer does?

I enjoyed it but the drama is a bit slow
jaeyoung is so little known that there's not much out there about him, not even fans saying things, because depending on the artist there is always some talk

I have a feeling he's about to blow up. I'm sure talk will come accordingly.
