In this new era, the LGBT community promotes and embraces diversity, and prides itself on individuality.
However, Korea is known to be a sensitive country on this subject and people are keen to preserve their culture and beliefs despite the modern lifestyle.
People will often be criticized if they announce that they are LGBT, and the hostility is greater if it is a celebrity who admits that they are part of the Community.
With more and more Kpop idols showing themselves as LGBT allies, many fans are wondering if there are many idols in the community.
Crayon Pop’s Way has invited former BLANC7 leader Shinwoo to his YouTube channel to answer some burning questions, including whether there really are a lot of gay idols in the K-Pop industry.
“We hear that there are a lot of homosexuals [dans la K-Pop] », a demandé .e fan, “But are there really many? »
There are several idols who have revealed themselves to be part of the LGBT community, such as Holland and Jiae from WA$$UP.
However, few of them reveal themselves, for fear of criticism.
Shinwoo was a member of BLANC7 from 2017 to 2019. He revealed that although he has heard of gay idols in the industry, he has no direct experience with them.
He went on to say, “ Even though people say [cette personne est] gay, he doesn’t act like that around me, so I can’t really believe him. »
As for Way, she revealed that she has seen a lot of gay idols. However, this does not mean that they are open about their sexuality.
Way said they generally prefer to hide it.
That said, Way says gay people in the industry tend to recognize other gay people. “Among Homosexuals” she says, “there may be some sort of connection. »
Although revealing their sexuality is a personal choice, it is unfortunate that some idols have to “hide” to avoid criticism.
