[PANN] Blind item about a gay star

[haxoru.livejournal.com]

Pann: Another gay blind item

Recently, the entertainment industry has been abuzz over male star A. From managers to stylists to even people working in marketing have been gossipping about him because his sexual orientation was recently revealed.

A is known for his large network in the industry. He's charmed his way in and out of the small and big screens and his phone is filled with thousands of numbers. The secret to his large network is his outgoing personality that's loved by all. He's the #1 most scouted personality on variety shows for his ruthless way with words. He's also known for his unique fashion sense, as he enjoys styles that others can't often pull off.

Although he's been doing so well in a variety of areas, his agency is now in a deep dilemma. It's recently been revealed that he loves men due to a minor error on his behalf. This comes as a shock as he had even publicly proposed to an actress. Last winter, while in a rush to leave the house, he ended up leaving his cellphone at home. His close friend B stopped by and discovered a shocking message when he picked up the phone to turn it off due to the onslaught of message beeps.

A gay app that flashed "Cute gay OOO is 100m away from you!" rang on the screen. B had no idea that A was gay and fell into a dilemma as to whether to protect his secret or not.

A had been pursuing a gay lifestyle unbeknownst to his friends and agency. Whenever he didn't have a schedule, he'd be at gay clubs in Itaewon and Gangnam after making sure to cover up so that no one could recognize him. He hung out in private rooms and his ideal type is said to be actor C, who's known for his masculine looks and smooth personality. The fact that A hit on C is already a well known story. Last year, he had asked a mutual friend for C's phone number and sent him direct messages like, "You're my ideal type" and "Let's meet at an Itaewon club."

But was A not C's type? A's advances were all rejected. That doesn't mean they never met up though. The two often spent time together at other gay gatherings and got closer by talking about other gay topics. The two even mentioned each other in public events. Their 'gay friendship' is said to still be continuing to this day.

1. [+122, -28] A is gay, he hasn't done anything wrong, so why does this post and all of the comments sound like he's some criminal? Because he's gay or what?

2. [+100, -8] Sounds like an ad for a gay app

3. [+75, -3] Woman's Sense is the same magazine that released the rumors on Hong Jong Hyun and Nana ㅋㅋㅋ this gives me goosebumps

4. [+63, -1] It can't be Yoo Ah In because his personality isn't loved by all and he's not a sought after figure on variety shows;; he's charming but he has a very individual personality and isn't the type to suck up to others, which you would know if you watched his reality shows;

5. [+52, -2] So does that mean B didn't keep his secret for them? I wonder who B is because I feel like he should've kept it a secret. He must've said something seeing as how so many people are gossiping about it now.

6. [+46, -1] So the hints are large network of friends, good fashion sense, popular, and publicly proposed to an actress

7. [+35, -1] I keep seeing this blind item come up, there really must be something going on

8. [+26, -0] Blind items normally switch around a few characteristics so that people can't easily guess them so don't get too hung up on the hints

9. [+26, -18] Anyone who thinks it's Kim Heechul is just showing their age, you'd have to be in junior high school to think that. He's had gay rumors for over 10 years now that he even uses it as a gag topic on variety shows ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

10. [+25, -0] The reason it's not Jung Jun Young is because he goes around in grandma slippers everyday. Doesn't even know what the F in fashion stands for and he totally loves women. He's crazy for women.

11. [+16, -1] I think this blind item keeps coming back because all of the insiders know but they're scared to out him due to the consequences but they want to keep talking about it

[haixiao.livejournal.com]

do enough ppl even care abt suho to cause an uproar if he's revealed to be dating? i'm asking this as a suho fan lmao

[xxhna.livejournal.com]

Lol I don't know how some fans think that idols do not date.

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

i'm so tired of shippers.

[evilcoc0nut.livejournal.com]

[torontok.livejournal.com]

B needs to be beaten across the head. WTF is a "dilemma" about whether or not to out your friend????

[untrueo.livejournal.com]

My thoughts exactly. I wouldn't tell anyone at all.

[honeebs.livejournal.com]

that gif is ridiculous haha

[haxoru.livejournal.com]

i lowkey wanted this to be about them

[honeebs.livejournal.com]

reading it, rage.
scrolls down, hahaha all better

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

B can go fuck himself

[audiograms.livejournal.com]

Does the article wanna say the word gay any nore?! If B outed them, then shame on him

[921227.livejournal.com]

No idea who this could be about but IA with #9 a lot and I the image of JJY shuffling about in house shoes amuses me greatly

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

the comment about jjy is the only good thing about this whole blind item lol

[jrt131n.livejournal.com]

. B had no idea that A was gay and fell into a dilemma as to whether to protect his secret or not.

They weren't in that much of a dilemma if there is a blind item about it....

I'm hoping that no one finds out who they are. Lord knows what'll happen to them if they get outted.

[earthequality.livejournal.com]

Lol, what is that gif. Who is th

But fuck B, foreal tho. I hope A only catches you at the broadcasting stations now cause youse a dickass hoebag for outing your friend. All you got in this industry is each other and you gone fuck with his life like that? B ain't shit, can we out him for being a douchnozzle?

All my well wishes to both A and C, because SK has some mixed feels and comments about the LGBT comm.

[jrt131n.livejournal.com]

The gif is of Jackson from Got7 and Seo Kang Joon from when they were on roommate.

[violentiak.livejournal.com]

Well what a shitty friend.

And of course it's not Heechul. He has not even done that much acting.

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

i hope and pray we never see the day when some tacky korean tabloid expose this or any gay idol ....


i'm still bitter af about italian tabloids exposing mika penniman

[ultimaaa.livejournal.com]

Given the frequency that BIs about gay celebrities have been coming up lately (with the one about the couple that's in the same group from last week/back in Feb and now this) I think we'll see an outing by the end of this year, unfortunately. :/

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

yeah, that blind item about a gay couple in the same group even said they have been hiding for around 5 years, i actually think this could mean they are from a big company that's obviously moving their influences to not expose them ... who knows? here for waiting another 5 years if they need it

[ultimaaa.livejournal.com]

I've seen a theory thrown around that the company/couple themselves have been letting the BIs get published as a way to "test the water" with the public, given that they've apparently made deals with tabloids to squash the story/rumors multiple times in the past. But who knows.

Five years is a long ass time though, especially for the entertainment industry jeez. What kind of relationship goals. :(

[921227.livejournal.com]

I feel like they couldn't legit expose an idol/celeb for being gay -- like, there would be too much blow back for /them/ because yea dating scandals can damage a rep a bit, but getting outed can end a career (multiple even)

[carra-mia.livejournal.com]

I feel like those kind of blind items will come back frequently in next months and then it either die down (if those targeted people have enough power behind their backs etc) or it will drag even more, like hint here, cue there and reach the moment when public will be able to identify somebody ( that person gonna deny ofc ) and nobody could be sued bc resposibility will be dissolved - few outlets involved, but practically no straight naming etc. Generally - ugly.

[nana-the-dwarf.livejournal.com]

B's a little bitch.

Now that we're on the subject though, what donyou guys feel about speculating about the identity of the people from rumors like this, where their sexuality is "outed" or put in question?

[typhlogirl.livejournal.com]

lmao what kind of flop fucking friend is B? jfc

no idea who this could be about though

[milkmp3.livejournal.com]

They gayly messaged each other about gay things with their gay hands using gay words and gay letters. Their gay souls got along gayly.




i laughed so hard at that part of the article, too, and i'm not even sorry lmao it was so ridiculous
reading your comment after that nearly killed me tho!

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

lol thank you for this!

The article had me lol but your comment killed me. 8D

[pikapika217.livejournal.com]

B is such an asshole

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

B is a total asshole. And what comes to A certain Asian prince always pinged my gaydar.

[nana-the-dwarf.livejournal.com]

Kwangsoo?

[boxcuttergirl.livejournal.com]

this is fucking disgusting

guessing who's gay so you can out them and likely ruin their career/put them in actual danger isn't some fun little game

[myrrhcat.livejournal.com]

these blind items come out all the time and never go anywhere. when an idol actually comes out (hopefully not outed against their will) then i'll be interested. but there's so much of this idrc, i mean, it's not news that gay idols exist. of course they do.
there are some idols who get away with absolutely anything, in terms of things that are actually illegal or immoral, so i don't see how being gay/bi could be more taboo than that

[xxhna.livejournal.com]

Well A needs real friends because B is obviously an asshole.

[love-quake.livejournal.com]

that asshole B. it shows what kind of friend B is.

[kicking-tenshi.livejournal.com]

Weeell at least the netz are decent human beings. That's kind of heart warming. That being said, I hope A never gets outed.

That last paragraph though. LOL

(but aren't most korean guy-guy friendly relationships 'gay'-like though? Like hugging and kissing cheeks and patting knees etc?)

[kjesta.livejournal.com]

wtf are gay topics

ehhh leave the poor dude alone. you're an asshole, B.

[bomsnose.livejournal.com]

hmm it's worded in a way that smells fake. even thought it sounds like a generic as hell story, i mean i'm sure there's plenty of popular people in the closet, but it's... just fake.
if true, though, b meeds to man up.

[vanishedgalaxy.livejournal.com]

B is a jerk. It's not that hard to keep someone's sexual orientation from everyone else and that's mainly because IT"S NOT YOURS TO SHARE. If that wasn't the case, I would have out-ed my bff so goddamn many times in the past few years that I bet even Koreans would have heard of it. But you know, instead, I didn't and covered up for him because IT'S NOT BY SECRET to share. ffs

I hope A and C will remain hidden because god forbit fans learn about who they are...

[bauci.livejournal.com]

The two often spent time together at other gay gatherings and got closer by talking about other gay topics

oh DEAR, one should only discuss hetero topics like... *searches hetero topics*
Google says: discussing who's the pull out king

erm...
