kiss? But who gives kisses in public in korea? Apart from kids...? ;D This is different from Entertainment. Of course it's not "usual" to kiss between men in korea anywhere, but it's a lot more "comfortable" there, because being gay is out of the question.
Like... you could chase your siblings, shouting you'll beat them up, with your fists held up (because they ate your pie) and they'll know it's a joke, but run away anyway... for fun! ;DDD
I meant, what others already wrote - in korea, being gay is not an option and also not a topic, it's a taboo. It's impossible for a korean man to be gay. No korean man is gay. Of course it's NOT impossible in reality, but it's seen like this in the community. And because it's "impossible", men won't be suspected to be gay. Even if they are affectionate - that's why it's more comfortable :)
What you're saying is what I hear from straight Koreans all the time. It's not as impossible to be gay in Korea as you imagine. Of course, I'm just a foreigner, so you probably won't believe me. You should chat to a gay Korean, who could tell you a few things. Don't know where to find one? Try one of the dozens of gay clubs, bars and other establishments in Chongno, Hongdae or Itaewan.
That's not what i meant, sorry, I'm just so bad explaining stuff in English, I guess.
It's not impossible, but people TREAT it as being impossible. If a society is willing to believe that something is nonexistent - it is "nonexistent" - a taboo :)
You mean a lot of Koreans that are gay are closeted and just don't talk about it even though they are. It has nothing to do with it being possible or not because there are gays everywhere whether they make note of it to people or not, if that's what you meant.
@kekurike not exactly. he's saying that most korean people believe that it is impossible for a korean to be gay; they think it is something foreign or "exotic" to be gay. This thought process is reflected on the society itself, so even though there ARE plenty of gay koreans out there, they are essentially invisible.
each other. Not because they are in love, but because they share a closeness, you can only achieve by going together - through happy and difficult times - like family, like brothers.
Plus they are playfull, especially when they are together. They do anything to have fun, make each other laugh - and share this with their fans. They also have a really close bond to their loyal fans of 10 years (!!) and will do their best to make them happy.
If you know a bit about korean culture and more about the shinhwa members, than you can learn about them, while watching these CUTS on youtube - there is NO reason to believe one of them is gay - or at least no more reason than to believe any other man might be gay. Lots of things might be coming together to give the impression, but to sum it up: They are playing around. They are comfortable with each other enough, not to be ashamed of anything - they even have cried together and have cried for
I'm prepared, though, to believe that Eric & co kiss for fanservice because clearly the fangirls are turned on by it. On the other hand, I'd be surpised if at least one of the guys wasn't gay or, more likely, bisexual. I won't speculate on which one, although I have my fantasies!
Oh, please. All this talk of Korean culture and "brotherly love" makes me laugh. I'm sure the Shinhwa guys do love each other like brothers, but that doesn't explain the kissing. In more than 4 years in Korea, I've seen straight guys hugging, holding hands, playing with each other's hair, sitting on top of each other, etc., but I've NEVER seen kissing.
and plus. if celebrities announced that they were gay or something, the media and whatnot would go crazy. koreans are perhaps more homophobic. gay koreans being shown or introduced to the media and public will most likely never happen. we still have our culture from 1000 yrs ago left. korea cant just accept gay people as the same in just one day. it just wont happen. we have the older generations to respect.
@lotteXGiRL weird how is korea homphobic i thoughtt that was japan ,cuz as you see in this clip plus idol groups like suju that korea ok w/ acting gay
@fuckgd1. i think you have korea and japan mixed up. japan is accepting of homosexuality while korea isn't. im korean and have lived in both korea and japan and i assure you that that's how it is. These idol groups aren't really acting homosexual, they're joking around since they're so close to each other. There's a difference in korea. They also kiss 4 year olds on the lips but that doesn't mean they're pedophiles. Most of suju and shinhwa also have girlfriends now so yeah
O ok,its just b/c i dont see this skinship in japan i know their joking out of brotherly love,but you see some groups like ftisland and etc who crossdress which is cute to fangirls i dont see that in japn,like yunjae their ok w/ playing around in korea but once they in japan they stop. Look at this a clip of BB in japan tae abt to grab his butt,4;11 tae gross look at the lady's reaction; /watch?v=nwjfdx2ulI4
@fuckgd1 yeah i can see how people might misunderstand the korean culture. it wasn't really like this before the 2000 at all but i think korean entertainment changed a lot of the male culture although it doesn't mean they're homosexual or even bisexual. as far as i see, japan seems pretty liberal while i know for sure that korea is still significantly conservative especially with homosexuality. like i used to hold hands with my female friends in korea but its not weird, just close friends.
Wow didnt know any of this you suprised me i didnt know korea was so conservative just the schools,yes i know skinship and all these coupling was normal,when foreigner see Suju they alwyas like asking''are some of them gay?'' but know its brotherly.But nvr see groups in japan act close like this or anywhere else besides korea.Oh did you see the clip i gave you?
just cuz two korean guys are kissing doesnt mean theyre gay
obviously all the korean boybands like girls if u watch their gameshows. they fight over bae seul ki and others like crazy.
koreans are just different from other races. like in korea theres school girls holding hands but theyre not lesbians. its just the way we show brother&sister love and friendship to eachother.
Wow there's an amazing amount of homophobia going on around these parts. See, I don't get why people see the link, click the link, watch the vid, and then decide to hate gays and comment about it. If you hated gay peope, why did you watch and then comment? Closeted much?
These guys are so awesome. They're just so naturally brotherly, all six. Especially Eric.
why? what's the matter with gay people??! Just because someone has a certain sexual preference shouldn't be a reason for you, or anyone, to ostrasize and dislike them. That's just plain mean. "I can't like gay people!!" baka...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
americans are self conscious? koreans are perhaps more homophobic than americans are, and the result from such a repressed society is that all that repressed gayness has to pop out somewhere like with these boybands!
And y'all need to stop fronting. We know that Koreans are more touchy then Italians, but they are turning the flirtation a notch higher than average. Just like with most boy bands they try to appeal to the androgynous homoerotic touch to catch the attention of both female and male audiences. It really is not a secret.
It is not fair that straight men can pretend to be gay to boost their marketing but if they were really gay they probably wouldn't be as desired. The funny thing is that girls scream when the play around with kissing because they fantasize men getting down with one another. It is hot.
there are different types of kisses. sounds like you're a guy .. if you are, did you call your dad a fag when he kissed you? how about your brother?
their kisses aren't meant to represent homosexuality. please stop talking about their actions as if they are dirty. they don't think of kisses between guys the way you do alright?
What the hell? Do they all sleep with each other? Why are they AlWaYs making out with each other? It's not just a joke anymore. It's mainly Eric. Gawd, what I would give to make out with ERIC!
Well, Shinhwa has been together each other nearly 10 years now... They lived in the same house for a few years also, so they're kinda brotherly each other. But most of'em have girlfriend so...
can't people see that we are all attrached to the same sex subconsciously! i mean most guys prefer girls that are tought, sporty, etc. and most girls prefer guys that, fairly, in tone with their emotions and whatever else. there's some truth to the theory either people think so or not.
Nah. I'm female and I'm not attracted to girly guys. I like muscles and macho-ness. Of course woman are going to want a sweet sensitive man. That's just another way of saying we don't want a cold-hearted bastard.
@yiliz why do u want him to be unhappy.fangirls who are jealous are the worst.celebs say they love them but i think in their heart they hate over obsessed fans.
