omonatheydid | Gay Director announces marriage plans. Drama ensues.

Director Kim Jo Kwang Soo announces marriage with gay lover on the 15th.

He's going marry his partner of 8 years, who is 19 years his junior. The director himself is 48 so do the math.

1. [+292, -17] Hul, his lover is 19 years younger than him... I guess whether you're gay or not, everyone likes younger people

2. [+225, -35] I can seriously, just barely understand gay love and marriage... but 19 year age difference?... I don't mean to leave a hateful comment but isn't there something mentally wrong with that?

3. [+274, -97] He should know that Korea still has a long way to go in terms of accepting these things so why is he going out of his way to announce it publicly?... Just do it quietly on your own.

4. [+219, -40] Congrats~ but what's more shocking than him being gay is that his lover's 19 years younger than him ㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+265, -105] You guys think that Americans treat gays with respect, right? As if. Even in America, they treat gays like trash, it's just that they don't express it on the outside. You think I'm joking? I live in America. They'll smile at their faces but block them off so they can't make advances.

6. [+155, -20] I respect gays. As long as they don't like me

7. [+120, -13] I thought gay marriage is illegal in Korea

8. [+150, -55] So who's wearing the wedding dress?

9. [+97, -12] Although both parents are acting like they're accepting of it on the outside, I bet their worlds are being crushed... No one would want a man as their daughter in law...

10. [+84, -16] I'm okay with others in gay love or gay marriage but not okay if it's my family. I really don't care what other people do with their lives but going public like this is off putting to see, honestly.

11. [+99, -34] I hate gays but I'm thankful for them. Less competition.

Kim Jo Kwang Soo responds to negative comments:

Kim Jo Kwang Soo "To all the haters of my gay marriage, I'm sorry but let me laugh at you"

1. [+339, -90] I'll respect your preference. Then in turn, you should understand the people who refuse to understand you.

2. [+282, -54] I thought gay marriage isn't legal in Korea?

3. [+218, -115] Think about it. Will there be more people you can laugh at or more people who will be laughing at you?

4. [+77, -41] Just because the public is being nice about it, he's starting to think that being gay should be accepted. It's just that people aren't saying anything; it's too early for anyone to be accepting it. Who do you think you are to be running your mouth like this? Let me be straightforward and honest with you. The gay love that you say isn't a crime? It's dirty, you got that?

5. [+56, -19] Didn't an American doctor say that being gay is a psychological disease on a documentary? What is that to be so proud of for him to be talking like this?

6. [+56, -13] It's your freedom to choose your sexual preference, but it's also our freedom to refuse to accept gays. I can't say anything about your decision to go against what nature intended since it's not normal but I'm not going to stop you either.

7. [+55, -5] Makes me realize how great of a man Hong Suk Chun is. He purposely makes sure to watch his image because he knows that everything he does will influence the perception of gays, but this guy is just running his mouth without considering any of that.

8. [+47, -11] Ah, sorry, but I still refuse to accept you. It's not natural, you know. The anus exists to release feces.

9. [+44, -3] I think he's just ruining gay image at this point

10. [+32, -5] All Hong Suk Chun and Kim Jo Kwang Soo are doing is using the media to glamorize gay love and spread it all over the country. They're all selling you a drug.

Congrats to him. But I hope this doesn't get out of hand.

Precisely because of that, DUH. Ignoring it forever definitely isn't going to help shit.

Does SOMEONE like you?

These comments make me sick.

I really hate that mentality. Like why would anyone automatically like you because they're gay. And even if they did, just be flattered and move on.

endless charms, endless possibilities
