Controversial Post Regarding Actor Park Bo Gum’s Sexuality Triggers Widespread Response
Park Bo Gum is facing controversy after a viral post claimed he is gay.
The post, which has over 220,000 views, says the actor is well known as gay in certain circles, contrasting sharply with his known friendly and upright public image.
Apparently, people who know the scene already know.
They say he’s famous even among gay circles…
He has this upright, super kind image, right… but in reality
they say he’s feminine and, kind of like that YouTuber LeoJ,
talks in a girly way, acts sassy, goes ‘oh my~,’
and is like that with his friends in daily life…
The post sparked mixed reactions.
Some netizens questioned why it mattered if Park Bo Gum was gay, saying it shouldn’t be an issue. Others said the rumor has been around for years.
“Even if this were true, it’s not that surprising…”
“This is a rumor that’s been going around for 10 years. Back in the day there were people who made money selling idol ‘secrets’ for 1,000 won LOL I paid 1,000 won to hear this back then, and even now it sounds ridiculous, like, so what? Whether Park Bo Gum is gay or not, just wish him a happy new year.”
“Honestly, the entertainment industry probably has quite a lot of bisexuals and gays.”
“So what if he’s gay, did he hurt anyone?”
Some also pointed to how the actor’s image and popularity seemed to shift after his military service.
“What?? PBG? Park Beom Gye??? He was even the Minister of Justice;;”
“There were also rumors about him and that male comedian. After he came back from the military, his vibe kind of changed and he lost popularity with women…. Maybe that’s why his face changed?”
As the situation develops, fans and netizens continue to debate the relevance and truth of these claims.
