not exactly. I mean, it happens a lot, but I wouldn't say it's necessarily the explicit purpose or intention.

I'm not complaining. I'm agreeing with someone's concerns, which come from a valid analysis of the issues.

I understand how EXID as a whole could fall into that particular category. But, in terms of solo promotions, Hani doesn't even satisfy the bare minimum. There are two main components for over-saturation in the k-pop industry, frequency & time.

Hani is being heavily promoted in variety shows & given multiple opportunities for photoshoots & other mediums of exposure, which fulfills the frequency portion of the equation. However it's been going on over the span of a couple weeks & falls short in the time portion, that's why I don't even consider it a topic for discussion & an invalid analysis.

South Korea seems to be pretty good when it comes to femininity in men, it's not linked to sexuality the way it is in western culture. So basically men can be as "gay" as they like, as long as they're not actually gay, if that makes sense.

wtf thats amazing

because oversaturation can have the opposite effect and make people not want to see her anymore, plus she could potentially get overworked? it's...public relations 101, really

Suzy is the most overexposed idol to ever exist. She literally accepts any CF offerered to her, does a million fansigns, a million appearances, dramas, movies, etc. but she's still popular and it definitely worked for her.

Hani just got popular, people aren't even close to being tired of her yet

Skinship is different though. In Korea it's a way of showing friendship or mutual affection, and doesn't always have the romantic connotations it might in the west. It's like James is saying, all of these things which might carry gay undertones to us don't necessarily in Korea.

Not quite sure how Korea accepting same-sex skinship or effeminate men but not accepting actual gays is amazing but kay.

I'm assuming it's something along the lines of "straight men can be feminine without being instantly stereotyped as gay". Contradictory considering the Korean attitude is just to ignore the gay part of it entirely.

This is why trying to figure out which male idols are gay is like one big jigsaw puzzle.

Effeminate but not definitively homosexual male Xia Junsu slaying his new urban bop Out Of Control at the first date of his Japanese tour



Slaying the choreo so effortlessly. The Korean bitches are lucky he isn't allowed to promote in Korea because there would be no competition.

[jongshic]

Callum was Xia's new album any goodshic
should I check it out

[Callum]

It's good, yeah. Definitely better than his last album not maybe not quite as good as Tarantellegra. It's about 60% ballads/mid-tempos and 40% uptempos which are all like right in the middle of the tracklist so I guess it depends on what type of music you're really slayed by.

Definitely give it a go though.

[jongshic]

okie okie ty
But before that, let me go on coverlandia and find a fanmade album art for his album cuz..
