I recall there being one homosexual celebrity but cannot remember his/her name.

Wow, I knew people were quite close minded about homosexuality in s-korea, but I thought it was more "We ignore it" or "We just never talk about it" than "We'll fire you if you are gay". | ||

I don't know about other businesses but if you think about that entertainment company, they have to figure that if homosexuality is that frowned upon having a gay cast member on a variety show might do terrible things to their ratings and advert deals. | ||

didn't YG help tablo a lot when there was all that drama about how he supposedly "didn't attend university in the us and didn't graduate but faked it all" ?? I wouldn't hate them too much, and as wei2coolman said, I don't think they will change epik high | ||

The fact Jo Kwon is a major celebrity shows that while it's still not officially accepted, they are blatantly turning a blind eye. It's basically Don't Ask, Don't Tell. | ||

Seriously~ >.< that's korean society itself. officially there are no homosexuals (or lets say noone seems to speak about it). but when i was in seoul for the first time i remember walking into that bar, owned by a guy calling himself "madonna". the ironic thing is though, no matter how homophobic korean society seems to be. since they are also really old fashioned when it comes to male-female relations, gay couples can walk down the road hand in hand (which do quite alot of samesexed heteros too) while straight couples aren't supposed to show such intimacy in public. | ||

Guys are supposed to take care of themselves as much as girls do by using various methods like following the mode or using cosmetics. And girls seem to like it a lot since male groups gather a shit ton of fangirls. But yeah, I wouldn't be surprised at all if a couple of male idols were gay, and it's the same for some female idols. | ||

i'm pretty disappointed that korean society still hasn't progressed far enough to just be like "yo, it's okay if you're gay". | ||
