[Rumor Mill] Cheating male star, gay idols, and variety popularity discord (with guesses)

[ceecile.livejournal.com]

1. Top star A is in a slump these days. Up until a while ago, he's been double dating top stars B and C, even going on vacation to Japan with B, but it seems that both relationships have come to an end. C had actually been overheard revealing to her associates that "A is just a sexual partner, the relationship is not problematic for me." To make matters worse, A was canceled out of a drama that he was originally cast in with a fellow labelmate. One industry insider said, "A lot of people think it's unfortunate the situation A is in but unlike the clean image he's known for, he's actually quite different on the inside."

A: Lee Min Ho
B: Park Min Young
C: Shin Se Kyung

2. There's been a lot of talk about idol group member D and his sexual preference. Unlike his idol peers whose main interest seem to lie in dating other girl group members, he hasn't shown any interest at all in girls period. Not only that, but his personality is said to be quite feminine as well. One insider said, "Just look at the way he acts. He's more feminine than most women. He acts in a feminine manner in such a way that most men wouldn't be able to pull off naturally." A few other idol group members aside from D are receiving the same suspicions and there's one thing that they all have in common: unlike most groups who dorm together, these members were designated their own separate dorm since their trainee days.

D: Sungjong

3. Known as the queen of scandals, E has been quiet lately. E has been in quite a many scandals herself since her debut due to her large network of celebrity friends. She's been quite for a few years now and it's said to be because she's lost herself in religion. While becoming more and more religious, she's supposedly relearned the importance of remaining pure before marriage and has been living a sex free life for years now.

E: Ryeowon

4. Top star F and rumors regarding his family have been spreading like wildfire on the internet. According to the rumors, F's father in law was once a radical religious sect leader who caused a stir in society in the past. After using his religious influence to gain power and money, he was eventually indicted for fraud before he moved away overseas. Whether or not it's true, the rumors are spreading as fast as F's fame.

F: Psy

5. It's easy for discord to arouse between members of one group the more a particular member has individual activities. Since last year, G's been active in many variety shows and his popularity has been on the rise. His image as a variety star has become stronger than his image as a singer, diluting his group's presence in the industry. The other members are supposedly angered over this, but it doesn't seem like G will be giving up variety shows any time soon. G's agency is preparing a new album release for the group right now so both sides are in quite the predicament. Fortunately for G, he's gaining a lot of fans for his warm personality. [TN: The main hint here is that they use 'pugeunhan' to describe him and while it does mean warm/friendly, it's also used to describe chubby people.]

G: Shindong

6. Beautiful star H's love for animals is said to be crossing the line. H is known for her fox-like aegyo, and recently it's been found that she's requested to change the dates for her international pictorials for the fashion brand she models for several times. As it turned out, the requests were because of none other than her dog. Because she couldn't find someone to look after him, she pissed a lot of staff off with her constant requests for date changes. Associates at the time said, "We're all busy people, why do we have to switch around an international schedule that's already too tight to begin with just because of a dog? Are we less than dogs?"

H: Han Ye Seul

* Please remember that all of these guesses may be completely wrong!

1. [+227, -9] I'll come back at lunch time, everyone....

2. [+138, -11] So many alphabets, I'm so confused..

3. [+126, -27] (lists all of the celebrity names)... This is what netizens have guessed so far. But I don't think D and G are right but there aren't any other names being mentioned at the moment.
- I feel like Kyuhyun would fit more as G than Shindong.
- G could also be Kwanghee
- B might actually be Park Min Young?

4. [+22, -1] For D, I can only think of Sungjong ㅋ I remember in 1vs100, L said that Sungjong has his own room after a game of rock paper scissors.. and he seems really feminine on weekly idol.

5. [+22, -4] I can only think of Sungjong for feminine male idols...

#2 is gross

[honeebs.livejournal.com]

[magicpineapple.livejournal.com]

It's not like Shindong actually contributed a whole lot vocally to SJ, lbr.

[torontok.livejournal.com]

Hew else is gonna do Eunhyuk's iconich A-Cha rap, now that he's enlisted?

[honeebs.livejournal.com]

And comments regarding #2 He's the ONLY feminine male idol ..OH REALLY?!? fucking asses. With that tip off all of kpop is gay.

#6 I know how you feel hun, I hate leaving my buddy all alone.

[merely-a-facade.livejournal.com]

When I saw the Infinite tag, I was hoping for more dating deets. Disappointed that I found homophobia instead.

Behaviour/Appearance/etc =/= Sexual preference

"5. [+22, -4] I can only think of Sungjong for feminine male idols..."

[laeryn.livejournal.com]

LOL. I found that hilarious.

[lovealwaysliana.livejournal.com]

so many male idols are "feminine" sooooooooooo try again

[froggster.livejournal.com]

Imma just ignore the wording in #2
also: Sungjong supposedly switched with Sungyeol, since Sungjong now shares a room with Myungsoo and Sunggyu; and Sungyeol got the single room. So even is he is gay(idk and idc), doesn't seem like those two would have a problem with it.

[harisukaori.livejournal.com]

And Myungyeol shippers all over the world are crying in despair :p

[laeryn.livejournal.com]

Sungjong shared a room with Hoya for a long time, though, and now he doesn't have a single room either. And like, WTF, looks =/= sexuality. I bet there are quite a few gay idols, but assuming it's X or Y just because of his feminine looks... I can't even.

5. [+22, -4] I can only think of Sungjong for feminine male idols...

Do you want a list?

[sergel02.livejournal.com]

Well, studies show that people can determine sexuality at a decent accuracy just by looking at people's faces, so on that hand I'm not surprised people think that.

with that said, the only true way of knowing is if said person tells you.

And yeah omg, we could totally make a super long list of other male idols.

[jiyaie.livejournal.com]

what disturb me is that there's a different dorm for this group just because he is feminine and so supposed gay , so what ? does they think that he will touch all other boy in their sleep ? it's so archaic thoughts !

[hisjulliet.livejournal.com]

I was wondering this as well....

[hisjulliet.livejournal.com]

"I can only think of Sungjong for feminine male idols..."

do you live under a rock or something

[dongsaeng.livejournal.com]

i think we need to realize that koreans have a different standard for what "feminine male" means, which is vastly different from what most of the international population thinks... culturally wise, those we think are feminine might still not fall into that category there. with that said, wtf.

#2 is dumb and sungjong does share rooms with the others so...

[bauci.livejournal.com]

Those are pretty solid picks, at least judging from how most of the international fandom feels, imo.

[swhyeon1991.livejournal.com]

Uh but Sungjong no longer has his own room tho? He switched with Sungyeol iirc.

these members were designated their own separate dorm since their trainee days
If they mean separate room, when it was their debut era Sungjong shared the room with Hoya & Dongwoo (or Sungyeol?) tho??

he hasn't shown any interest at all in girls period.
I almost read that wrong btw lol.

[uledy.livejournal.com]

lol @ the last part.

[djlancerock.livejournal.com]

he hasn't shown any interest at all in girls period

to be fair most guys don't show interest in period

[toshi830.livejournal.com]

not entirely true, we like to know when so we can avoid sometimes

[yulia-eru.livejournal.com]

#5 Sounds more like Kyuhyun than Shindong.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Lol a trainee could be an axe murderer and they still wouldn't get their own dorm. They forget how hard by most agencies are, esp when groups are young.

"Just look at the way he acts. He's more feminine than most women. He acts in a feminine manner in such a way that most men wouldn't be able to pull off naturally"

well IT MUST BE because feminine behavior immediately links to being gay. where's that eyeroll gif.

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

number one sounds more like jang geun suk than lmh, faith flopped but no way he is in a slump.

number two makes me annoyed, that dorm thing is just.... ugh.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

I think people are saying it's possibly So Ji Sub.

[atelierlune.livejournal.com]

I don't get the pick of Kyuhyun for 5, but I'm not sure what Kyuhyun's variety presence is like.

[queenbratinella.livejournal.com]

I don't think number 5 is Super Junior at all. The issue about the group being known mostly because of the variety-inclined members rather than the group's musicality has been a longtime concern for Super Junior and it's not like anything has changed, lol. And besides, Kyuhyun has only been a mainstay in one variety show, it's not like he's all over the place guesting in shows left and right. Shindong has also been dropping most of his variety guestings too.

I'm leaning for number 5 being Kwanghee.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

Not only that, but his personality is said to be quite feminine as well

Suuure. Because all the men with a feminine personality are gay the same as all the manly men are straight. SMH.
He does give me the gay vibe but not because he's feminine. He just seems to be into guys IMO, that's all.

[euants.livejournal.com]

#2 it's none of our business.

[lettace.livejournal.com]

Just look at the way he acts. He's more feminine than most women

[spassbremse123.livejournal.com]

Why didn't she step aside after the first ball hit her?

[bauci.livejournal.com]

Idk keeping members separate would be exactly something companies would do if the idol's value overweights his (wrong!!!) sexual orientation.

Tao used to share a room with his manager, didn't he. Just throwing it out there.

[charlotterhys.livejournal.com]

That was because he didn't speak enough Korean.

Now he shares a dorm with three other people! (Though I'm sure that many people would like to believe there's a giant gay orgy between Tao, Xiumin (China roommates), Chanyeol and Baekhyun.)

2. [+138, -11] So many alphabets, I'm so confused..
