Henry thought what most non-kpopers think when they see Super Junior (or any Boy/Girl Group): Gay

[kanbinayume.livejournal.com]

On March 1st, Super Junior-M’s Henry guested on SBS’s “Strong Heart“, and shared some hilarious stories about his first impressions of the Super Junior members.

When asked by the MCs to describe the experience, Henry replied, “Korean men easily put their arms around each other’s shoulders, as well as give light touches, but to foreigners, actions like that can be mistaken as gay.”

Henry revealed that when he first met the members, they greeted him by lightly hitting his butt. “I honestly thought they were all gay. I misunderstood Leeteuk, since he was the one who slapped my butt the most.”

But what surprised Henry the most was his encounter with the “Space Big Star”, Kim Hee Chul “His hair was long, like a girl’s, and he was so pretty, so I thought he was a transgender at first.”

Hilariously, Henry wasn’t alone when it came down to culture shock; Eunhyuk revealed that he was equally shocked when Henry began calling SM Entertainment’s Lee Soo Man, ‘Mr. Lee’.

Henry clarified, “I didn’t know who he was at first, and someone told me that he was SM’s boss. I just greeted him by saying, ‘Hey, Mr. Lee.’ I told him that I’d contact him if he gave me his business card.”

Eunhyuk added, “Henry still calls him ‘Mr. Lee.’” When asked how Lee Soo Man responded, Eunhyuk replied, “He accepts it since we’re all friends.”

oh henry ;-;
that's what most of my non-kpop frds think too :/
not surprised lol

[beatification.livejournal.com]

and yet fans demand fanservice

[canttakeabreath.livejournal.com]

but in all seriousness, they confuse us because they don't fit inside most of our "gender tropes" which is what fucks with us and attracts us, in some sense. the fanservice is just part of it.

[kanghodong.livejournal.com]

omg this is great

[hyonimilk.livejournal.com]

Ryewook~

[adorkableninja.livejournal.com]

I laughed so hard when he said Leeteuk .
LOL and not so much though on Heechul. I'm not surprised, if I were Henry, I would think the same too LOL

[jo-hyuksu.livejournal.com]

hahah the captions on the screen was "the center of the misunderstanding, leader leeteuk" LOL. leeteuk you are such a troublemaking butt slapping. just imagining leeteuk going around slapping peoples butts often is just so.. LOL.

[coffeebang.livejournal.com]

I love that he actually said this.

I never really thought that anyone in particular was gay, just kind of weird. They're just being themselves lol, and sometimes 'being themselves' comes off a little weird.

[qrizta.livejournal.com]

i wasn't familiar with gay stereotypes and i was very used to touchy feely pretty boys so i didn't suspect anyone. But, Heechul was definitely a mindfuck when I first saw him in a U performance. lol

[kanbinayume.livejournal.com]

Heechul mindfucks everyone. I know I definitely questioned his gender/sexuality during the U period xD

[kyungsan.livejournal.com]

lol everyone who has no idea about kpop boy groups or idols always assume they're "gay". like c'mon, that joke's not funny anymore rofl.

honestly though, i haven't thought anyone in kpop was gay.

.......except maybe jokwon.

[simplyobessed.livejournal.com]

".......except maybe jokwon."

Same here! >_>

[pixifaerithingy.livejournal.com]

I always though Ryeowook was.

[annanuna.livejournal.com]

LOL, OMG SSUN =))

[padmik.livejournal.com]

lol henry. culture shock to the extreme. yeah some of my friends think that way, but there are still kpoppers who think that way.

[redglare.livejournal.com]

oh henry, you precious thing ;w;

also, heechul would be a pretty damn attractive girl so I don't blame henry one bit. XD; wasn't there even a show where he said he crossdressed so he could meet his girlfriend without being bothered by fans?

[mochandesu.livejournal.com]

He's so precious~

I wonder if he ever misses Canada on the basis of normal people when he's been around SJ for long periods of time?

[mochandesu.livejournal.com]

Oh. And I'm pretty solidly convinceed Zhou Mi is a pot of gay.
I love him to death, but boy is flamboyant.

And yes. He counts for K-Pop

[purinchun.livejournal.com]

LOL Herny gotta love him. <3 I don't blame him for the cultural shock, there is quite a difference.
I wasn't surprised by Heechul though when I got into kpop. I've been into visual kei for too long to find a guy like him weird lmao.

[iams.livejournal.com]

I'm also one of those not suprised by Korean bromance all thanks to visual kei ^^

[flowmarine.livejournal.com]

tbh, sungmin.
blame the haengbok video!

[rosetta16.livejournal.com]

Lol when i was becoming a kpop fan i thougt suju was gay and yjay heechul was a girl

[anconeous.livejournal.com]

Who wouldn't be confused by Heechul?! Poor boy had the misfortune of meeting him when Heechul was all for the girly look.

LMAO at "Mr. Lee." Why so cute, bb?!

OT but Justin Bieber's "Baby" has been stuck in my head since Henry performed it in SS3 here in Manila last Saturday. Ugh.

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

Priceless. (I've been waiting for a story like this. <333 Thank you Henry for delivering!)
My friends are all convinced that the only gay member in SuJu is Siwon, because he's so against gay people. They're automatically like, "Yeah, and he likes getting kisses from his bandmembers? Denial." They're also all convinced that Heechul is straight and Ryeowook is a girl, though. Oh and Eunhyuk is a girl, too. Sungmin is apparently the only person my lesbian finds manly AND straight, though. :\ Waheyyy go Sungmin.

[beatification.livejournal.com]

i love that sungmin pimpin icon

[chikage-chan.livejournal.com]

LOL Henry speaks the truth! XD And the fact that they are like that is one of the things i like the most in kpop~

Also, no one will ever convince me that Key is straight, sorry... XD

[mochandesu.livejournal.com]

diva boy is diva.
