I expect a gay scandal only when a gay idol has stopped being an idol and it will be like "an ex-idol has came out of the closet/been spotted dating a guy/girl"
And this will not happen in the next few years
I think there's one actor who committed suicide after he was outed
EDIT: Found him, he's called Kim Jihoo
I heard about him
Quote:
On April 21, 2008, he came out as a gay man on the tvN reality show Coming Out, a series which profiles the lives of LGBT Koreans. Shortly after the episode aired, Kim's personal webpage was inundated with messages denouncing his sexuality. Several fashion shows and television programmes cancelled his appearances, while his management company declined to renew his contract.
Kim hanged himself at his home in Jamsil, southern Seoul, on October 6, 2008. A suicide note found at the scene read: "I'm lonely and in a difficult situation. Please cremate my body."
I kinda wonder what would happen if someone like V came out. The CF's, variety appearances, acting jobs would probably stop coming in but could he actually be banned from music shows? BTS' fanbase is mostly international so the physical sales and touring wouldn't be a problem.

I still remember that Jonghyun got a lot of bad comments and threats because he put a profile picture on twitter of him and Taemin from Internet War. And it happened again when he supported a trans person on twitter
There's also a pann about Key that he's actually really manly and can't be gay or something like that

Sis just because their fanbase is mostly international doesn't mean they aren't homophobic
I've actually seen a LOT of comments from the westren fanbase which were like "oppa can't be gay" and etc
But honestly though, if a big star like Bogum gets exposed, I need other idols and actors to voice out their support and create a social movement on SNS or something. BTS can summon their ARMY for all I care. I mean if Key comes out, I expect Taeyeon and co to defend him.

If Key comes out Jonghyun will probably come out shortly after
