gaysubtextinkpop - Tumblr blog

[gaysubtextinkpop]

Important reminder! For queer folks like myself it is appealing to think your faves might be queer too, and that's fine, but remember that there's a cynical marketing side to some of the seemingly gay interactions and it can be exploitive particularly when artists use it then turn around and act like being gay is weird and wrong. There 100% are gay idols who benefit from the fact that most fans assume they're straight playing gay for the fans, but the overall messaging there is an issue that openly queer idols like Holland and Choi Hanbit are actively combating. This blog is around 7 years old now and kpop has come a long way - but it still has a long way to go.

he’s 100% right.

Hiatus and Good-byes:

Hey all our lovely little gay-popers,

So I would be lying if I said this wasn't bittersweet, but it's been in the making for a long, long time. When Admin A and I first started this blog two years ago, it was on a whim and we certainly never expected it to get this big or popular.  We had a lot of fun and we'll miss all our fantastic followers. That being said, real life has just become way too much for both of us to handle and also keep up this blog. As a result, and after contemplating all the extenuating circumstances that have been stressing us out the past couple of months, we have decided to close GaySubtextinKpop.

All our old posts will stay up indefinitely but we will no longer be posting constantly, in a queue or otherwise.

We haven't been answering asks for the past couple of months, so we're sorry if you never got a reply from us, but we are in the process of closing down and our ask box was one of the first things to go. That being said, we read and appreciated all of your sweet notes and will, as we said, miss our followers lots. 

Anyway, thanks for making this an awesome, subtextual two years! -Admin P <3

Youngjae cannot calm down during Yongguk’s phone call ft. a sulky Himchan in the corner

When Yongguk was supposedly talking to his "girlfriend". Now, which one is more subtextual, the openly expressive Youngjae or the brooding Himchan?

yunho agreed to a psychological assessment that defined him as a person to blame himself before the other person in a situation. changmin begs for yunho to live up to this. after this, they sort of awkwardly tussled like grandpas.
