- Ep.252: I just got married 3 months ago. My wife loves me so much that she's always suspicious. If I stare at a woman on TV, she gets mad. She's the only woman I love. What's wrong with her? I'm suffering because of my uncle. He's single, but his house is full of pictures of half naked men. He says it's his preference. What does he mean by that?

[@Hinata8778]

The thing I find slightly funny (ok, not funny, but you get it) is how male idols can act all 'gay' with each other. They can be all over each other, sleep in the same bed and even kiss each other and NO ONE thinks it's weird, but as soon as someone ACTUALLY is gay, then all hell breaks loose kind of. THAT is weird.

[@roseta5017]

+Yuki Vin I think you misunderstood her comment completely. She is saying that people/fans are ok when their celebrities/idols act gay, but are homophobic towards actual gay men. That itself is wrong. Like if someone copies African American slang and culture, but are racists towards them. Now that is being narrow minded, not what the original comment is saying.

[@mq9demo]

+Linnea Nilsson They can act all gay because to them it's obvious that they are not actually gay. Trust me, I'm a straight man and "act gay" to some male friends because we both know we are not gay. You might still not understand what's the point of that, but trust me, it's fun and you could also say it's a kind of bonding between men. Just like in some cultures (mine, Polish, included), a kind of bonding between men is insulting each other and making fun of each other. Basically shaming each other to extreme. This creates a warm friendship feeling between men. I'd love to explain why that is because on first glance it doesn't make sense. But it works. So, same with acting gay. Both men KNOW that they're not gay, so they know it's ok to act that.

[@mq9demo]

+Rose Ta Homophobic... how do you know these "people/fans" intentions? How do you know if they are literally afraid of homosexuals? I am a male and I also get uncomfortable when a man who is gay says some flirty things to me. Honestly, it's the same feeling I get from a girl I am friends with but she decides to make a move. It's surprising and unwelcome. And it doesn't mean I am misogynistic, I just don't welcome such situations, whatever the gender. I think it's quite similar in this case. It would be great to ask gay people about their opinions, like what if the opposite gender hits on them, what does it make them feel.

[@roseta5017]

+Matthew Latawiec I didn't mean only the fans, but their culture in general. Korea is not as far ahead as some other places on accepting homosexuality. And it's fine for you to feel uncomfortable when someone makes a move on you no matter what gender. I just hear from a lot of my friends to just take it as a compliment that you are attractive to whatever sex, unless they're being aggressive and won't take no for an answer. Also I understand the whole same sex people being close to each other building bonds. I find that from a lot of Asian cultures like mine's, males can be close and touchy with their friends and family of the same sex and no one thinks anything of it since it's just showing affection. But when it comes to males who come out as gay, them wanting to be close to other males is unwanted even if they are just being affectionate with no hidden intentions.

[@UnorthodoxlyEsthetic]

+Yuki Vin No that is not true. She means that why do girls encourage gay acts between male idols and MCs and other people totally accept it as "fan service" and are not disgusted by it, but when a male idol comes out, everyone is disgusted by him.

[@puddlemini]

Uncle is gay, get over it. Niece is thoughtless for publicly shaming him through the show especially in a country like Korea. What did she think he was going to do, admit it? None of her business considering he was nice enough to let her stay with him.

[@puddlemini]

+puddlemini Also, we've had people come on the show do literally disgusting things like kissing their own son's penis. So, those kind of things werent publicly shamed, why is this man so vilified?

[@cruzzo260]

+puddlemini what? seriously? what episode was that?

[@infinitelyinspirit11]

puddlemini what do you mean the uncle is gay? He said he wasn't

[@k-musictrash356]

Infinitely Inspirit He is! Oh my God, are you dumb? He said that he wasn't because it's on fucking tv, if he came out he would've been publicly shamed. He drools over men, has pictures of hot men & has no pictures of women. Are you dumb? How clear does he have to make it?

[@k-musictrash356]

puddlemini bitch, what? What episode?

[@bee-3220]

I understand there's a cultural difference, as I am Asian myself, but it still irritates me a LOT when they're constantly going "Real man Real this Real that" to somehow prove they are not homosexual and also it's frustrating how they are emasculating those who are gay. Sexual orientations DO NOT determine whether you are a man. This ridiculous mentality needs to stop.

[@tvtoms]

+Bisma S. I agree with you and only want to add that sexual orientation is the better way to describe a gay person. Some repressive political figures want to use the word "preference" to say it's not something from birth and therefore they should not be granted equal civil rights. It's an important distinction. Again, just agreeing and expressing additional things.

[@bee-3220]

tvtoms Agreed. I use preference and orientation interchangeably but your point is definitely valid.

[@diamcole]

It's definitely frustrating to watch but I've got to give credit where it's due and say that while there is still a long way to go, there have been tremendous steps made in South Korea to try and create an environment that is more accepting of homosexuality.

[@sunnygirly2k4]

+Bisma S. *standing ovation*

[@NotAMuse]

+Bisma S. Understanding that there's a cultural difference means that you should not be calling it a "ridiculous mentality." It's all in perspective. I'm sure there's a population that are fighting for rights for all sexual orientations, but unfortunately the mainstream attitude supports heterosexuality right now. And being an Asian you should also understand that there are a whole bunch of different ethnicities and cultures foreign governments have forced under the one label, so you should be the first to admit that even within the "Asian" label, we are different. I do agree that I find myself not finishing videos when the Hello Counselor topics are about the mainstream views of masculinity, "traditional" gender roles, non-heterosexual sexual orientations, but it's very ignorant and rude to assume that an entire society with their own history and culture should change their beliefs because it differs from another's.

[@SS-cl2nn]

I can't stand the third concern. How dare she bring her uncle to the show and tried to out him? It's non her damn business who he like and not like. It freaking obvious he was uncomfortable with the whole thing. That poor man.

[@ql3790]

***** how your bitch ass gonna get on someone comment and say fuck off when you brought your ass on the comment to replied

[@shannontsl]

+Sam S True But it's nice that they finally got to break things down and overcome the misunderstanding. In the end, regardless of whether the uncle is gay or not, it's likely that she will be more considerate of him after knowing of his condition.

[@starsaint]

+Sam S I know! I was furious! She has no concept of respect, or consideration.

[@SnakeSagacity]

+넌노잼 If he mind about this problem going public, he can always decline to appear on the show you know. It's not like he has to attend it like military service.

[@starsaint]

Dear writers, please don't allow such a concern like the third one with the uncle on the show again. I thought experienced writers/producers for a well-established show would know better. What did you think was going to come out of this? What did you think was going to happen? Basically you gave this niece a big platform to grill her uncle about his sexual orientation, shaming him in front of an entire society that is still conservative. It doesn't even matter if he is gay or not. This is not okay. As media workers, you have a certain responsibility. Poor man, can't imagine how he must have felt, be feeling, even right now. His colleagues, neighbours, a large portion of whom are likely conservative have probably seen the show. Just think about that and be more considerate of people who appear on your show. No one should have to go through this, especially not on a show that we label entertainment. Never felt less entertained. I don't even need to talk about his disrespectful niece with her disregard for people's feelings, the other comments have said it.

[@yooni8697]

I understand but tbh it’s the way of the entertainment world

[@Lirei]

I actually agree... it's kind of humiliating to be questioned like that infront of a lot of people especially in a tv show that a lot of people watch...seeing him do those strange things could be weird for her but she should understand especially since they're close that there might be a reason he's doing that and try to ask him for answers, not like this...

[@faithyunjae]

I feel disgusted at the niece. It's none of her business to pull someone into the light for such sensitive issues especially in homophobic Korea. It feels to me that she's just craving for the spotlight and don't give a damn to her family.

[@Violet.Bora_]

Also, when the MC's asked the niece what she would do if her uncle told her is was "like that" (meaning: if he was gay), she said she would accept him. But I don't believe her. Because while she's here explaining to the audience that her uncle acts weird and basically leading us to believe that he is gay, she is saying it in a disgusted way. So if she is saying that she will accept him, then I don't get why she's being disgusted at the possibility of him being gay. I'm not sure if that made any sense but...yeah....

[@yikana7535]

I hate that phrase "men and women can't be friends" 😐 we can. It works. Stop defaulting relations between opposite sex as something sexual. Plus it's fun. Trust your partner more, this goes for anyone that share similar views and deal with the issue you have with it. Don't impose of your partner's relationship unless they invite you to.

[@for.tax.reasons]

T.uYI -KANA ikr everyone's talking about the third concern but the first one scared me more because they're married and she's so controlling and suspicious

[@crunchy_tofu]

[@dmet3412]

I was very disappointed at the ignorance on display regarding gay men. The idea that a gay man cannot shout or be athletic as a "real man" should, should be absolutely ludicrous in South Korea by now, but, it isn't. If the uncle is indeed gay, I can't help but think how hurt he must feel living in a country where he is not even supposed to exist, since there aren't supposed to be any gay Koreans. To be denied and erased in his own country, or suffer being accused of being possessed or having contracted some sort of "Western" disease that made you gay, when you've been gay your whole life, must be painful It will be interesting to watch this country over the next 50 years or so, as people in the media begin to announce that they are gay in order to give strength and courage and a sense of pride to their fellow countrymen and women, who are gay. It will be interesting to see the Korean equivalent of Sir Ian McKellen, who has quite the booming voice, which proves according to their juvenile test, that he is indeed, a "real man". It will be interesting to see the Korean equivalent of Michael Sam, who certainly does not "run like a girl" (a chauvanistic statement in itself), so he is also, according to their nonsensical test, also "a real man". It will be interesting to see the Korean equivalent of heartthrob Rock Hudson, who made women swoon because of his "manliness" for decades. That niece showed utter disrespect for her uncle and disregard for his feelings. She should feel ashamed of herself. His life is his life. If she doesn't like it, she should just get out of his house. People may question why he agreed to go on the show. I can just imagine that he gave in to the pressure of "if you have nothing to hide, why wouldn't you go on the show in order to defend and explain yourself?" or "if you go on the show, we, your 'concerned' family members, will stop asking you embarrassing, invasive questions." I am so tired of seeing men being asked on this and other shows and in interviews if they are "that way", and them having to insist vehemently that they "love" women. What else is a gay man in South Korea supposed to do? Admit his homosexuality so that he can incur public disdain and humiliation and possibly lose his livelihood? South Koreans need to finally accept that: a) gay does NOT necessarily equal "effeminate" for men and "butch" for women, and b) there most certainly ARE Korean gay people! They might start by taking a look through their own history books. As I said, it's going to be a VERY interesting next 50 years!

[@pipimisna4410]

ikr. Gay is not allowed in muslim like me. but they're going to far. T T

[@TheRealityofFake]

That last concern was just... ugh. First, it's not the niece's right to have that "concern". She can be concerned that he might not find happiness, but the whole OMG he might be gay, what should it matter to you. It shouldn't really have an effect on you. I hated the way the hosts and guests dealt with it too. "You're not that, right?". The whole time they are inferring that being gay is something wrong. And briefly the host says "Oh, it's not a problem if you are". You guys just spent the last 5 minutes making comments about what a "real man" should be like, and then you try to act like you are okay with it.

[@pandaonsteroids5154]

I disagree with this. They acted somewhat like that, and honestly I don't like it either. I don't know about Korea specifically, but I know in places like Vietnam and Thailand gay men are referred to as girls. They are more feminine (impossible to say they're not), so I can't say anything about that perception. Although in my eyes they are real men.. As we watch through the concern, you can see there's something bigger at play. That man is not young, he has 100s of pictures of half-naked men hanged up in his house, touches men any chance he can get, and is somewhat lonely while not being married. I can understand SINCE SHE LIVES WITH HIM and worries about him (just because it's her uncle doesn't mean she can't care) to why she'd have this concern. If the situation was switched to women, I think people would think it's a problem. It's like.. "Why are you looking at women and thinking about women instead of talking to them in real life?" Whether he's straight or gay, has pictures up of men or women.. it is strange from an outsider's perspective. Touching people and hanging up 100s of pictures is obsessive behavior. He also makes people feel uncomfortable. I wish for a non-homophobic world, but I don't think this really showed homophobia. Maybe some hesitation, but there was nothing extreme here.

[@lily-ep3el]

Well, i said Korea seems homophobic, The host and guest made same stupid jokes about gays and there behaviour. If i was the uncle i would hestitate to say on national tv he is indeed gay. He cant say it because of the social norms there. The niece should keep her doubts to herself, who is she to drag him there to demand an explanation of his seksual desires.

+rifa502 its definitely a convo that should have been private... im not saying dragging her uncle on to national TV over smth like this is right... as for the jokes... although they're wrong, i cant really fault them much... yes, the jokes for offensive... but think about it... korea is very new to the concept of accepting homosexuality... alot of them definitely have no clue how not to be offensive about it... heck, i dont even think they know that its offensive.... they are all still figuring out how to act around different races... homosexuality is gonna take sometime... but it'll get there...

[@rifa502]

Yeah, thats right. It is a 'good' sign that they are willing to future this issue on tv. It is a step to be open and to show the diversity in the society. I am sure Korea will get there but it is sometimes cringing to see the proces to get there.

I can't even hate the host cause that kind of mentality is deeply engraved in the Korean media. I don't think I've see any show without these instance.

[@Annonymous5411]

Kaito .X .otaku So being the cause of a problem makes you proud? Low self-esteem comes from people like you. And what does that lead to? Suicide. And what does Korea have? High suicide rates. Of course this isn't the only reason obviously. But one issue at a time. Don't be in denial and think this kind of bullying is okay. It isn't. Forcing people to laugh at themselves regardless of how uncomfortable they are or poking at people's nerves should be done in moderation and never to a stranger you don't know. It's completely different joking with family and friend cause at least they know closer to where you mind is at. Have a group a people laugh at you is humiliating. Specially if you yourself didn't do anything to provoke it.

[@wisteria1588]

The problem with the last concern is not whether her uncle is gay or not, it's his unusual behaviour when he hugs, touches, and stares at other men, even his nephew. Also all those photos pasted all over his home are completely unnecessary and borderlining obsession. Despite this, I still think his niece was very immature to send such a "concern" to a national television program when she should have talked privately with her uncle, it's very disrespectful what she did here.

If he seems to be doing illegal things she could simply report him instead of trying to cash out on him.

@@kavyaviju3025 no they not south korea still linger of past issues with japan for example dokdo island ownership and japan aint frankly any different unless you all but white race they as well as south koreans are quick to judge example when tennisist naomi osaka first came to light she got ton of haters many own country ppl just because she had afro american blood in her many of old generation south koreans are exactly that mentality

[@luca_ds9805]

They look so similar 😂

[@NiNew-ks1fx]

I want to hug the uncle.Poor him T.T .He doesn't do anything wrong.

[@kritzyyy]

The last concern, I'm like wtf man!! Why would the niece bring up here uncle on national TV even if he was gay. How does it matter to her!? Gay,Bi or straight...all are human right!? it's the 21st century people should not be homophobic!

[@96NightRider96]

well just because someone doesn't accept the lifestyle of being gay doesn't mean they should be attacked. Gay/bi/etc people always say they're being attacked, but they're so eager and quick to bash in return. I think everyone has to make their own choice in life, and whether they choose to accept/reject homosexuality, they shouldnt be attacked by other people.

[@jyn4886]

+96NightRider96 being part of the LGBTQ etc. community is NOT a lifestyle. People do not choose to be gay as well as be straight. Please choose your words carefully.

[@jyn4886]

+96NightRider96 Also, being homophobic is always bad. Simply judging someone not with their personality but their sexual preference is something that people need to stop doing.

[@chuchai1197]

the last concern,i feel bad for him,gay is still a problem in korea i think, i wonder how hard for him to hide for a long time. i wish for an open mind of nitezen about gay, i have many gay friends and i love them,they are funny and comfortable to tag a long with. i rather to hang out with gay friends than girls or man..

[@Do94ubleG]

he said he wasn't gay though...

[@lisknapp]

+Do94ubleG you're missing the big picture...of course he won't say it because right off the back they started questioning him and used the "skin condition" as an excuse. the niece even said that "oh he kept saying that's his preference" I'm sorry but for someone to have a condition like that in the 21st century and living in Korea is an excuse to hide what he really wanted to say.

[@chuchai1197]

Lisa Knapp ,true,it wan'st completely accepted yet in korea i think,and they were afraid of what other people think about them so they rather to hide it.

[@melonsonny]

The last concern wasn't really a concern though, like his preference isn't really her business... Trying to force someone out of the closet is messed up especially on national tv like what even

[@bangtanloyalty3484]

First time seeing him but Gyunseong is so funny 😂😂 Time to do some research xD Lee Hongki HWAITING!!💖

[@heheohoh]

i wish korea would finally arrive in 2017 and stop with all that gender roles, real men fragile masculinity bullshit.. 'are you a real man?' as if gay people aren't real men smh. last concern was wrong to put her uncle out there like that it was obviously an uncomfortable situation for him. I'm really glad to see everyone in the comments be mad about it as well 💖

[@prjanikowina]

As a lesbian myself, the last concern is so upsetting. I have experienced a lot of homophobia because of my russian family so watching how they speake about homosexuality hurts me a lot. Saying that being gay makes you less of a man or saying that he might have a problem, even considering that its a concern is just pure homophobia and its making me so sad.

[@aguerrinha84]

OMG i laughed so hard when Mir and Honggi prefered to lose hair than lose sexual desire kkk

[@BlooCowz]

It's honestly too much how the judges react to his physical appearance. That's so rude and hurtful.

[@MissNessa974]

Mir&HongGi : "That's not good." Mir : "I'll just live without any hair." XD

[@Mskoreanfevah]

okay for the last one- i don't understand why she could call that a concern?? in no way does her uncle being gay or straight affect her so why does she have to make such a big deal out of it? the uncle looked so uncomfortable throughout the entire thing, she should be more considerate about how he would feel talking in front of an audience and viewers about his preference. she could've discussed this privately with him. putting him on the spot and pushing him into a corner is not a way to handle the situation, who the hell would want to come out like that.

[@2liveAE]

The first concern was so creepy to hear. She is so obsessed and doesn't have any clue what she is doing is absolutely mental. I just hope they both don't kill each other.

[@meyllenemir1483]

so glad i found mir here~~missed him!!

[@damira369]

No matter what I do , I can't finish the whole show . The last concern was so absurd like ugh . Its his lifestyle , LET HIM BE PLS 😭

[@Ladynightsylvia]

the last concern tho, that girl is sooo rudeee doing this to her uncle. let him be! if he likes men okay fine if he like women okay fine geez, why is she putting him on the spot like this. you are living with him have some respect for him or leave

[@meech5407]

The third concern needs to calm TF down its his sexuality is it your fucking problem it's not going to affect you at all

[@96NightRider96]

idc about his sexuality, but he needs to cool it with the staring and touching. sexuality is something that affects yourself, but if you start making other people uncomfortable, that's not okay. that's what worried me about the third concern.

[@babyyneekyy]

1:40 Kang Kyunsung never fails to crack me up LOL. And Noel have such good voices! 3:46 Aw poor Mir! Losing hair is so stressful :( 3:55 and 4:06 Kyunsung is so supportive of Mir LOL 19:55 The husband was trying so hard not to laugh or smile because of what she said lmaoooo im crying 20:09 The way Hongki said it and was so dumbfounded omggg 24:52 YOO IM GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT HE LOOKS LIKE HENRY 26:51 LMAOOOO This concern should not be this funny but im cracking up 39:48 Hongki wasn't about to let this pass by lolol his expression 45:23 All the guys are like "fuck bro you shouldnt have said that" and the girls are like "what the fuck did you say" lol

[@doeyedkid9119]

"she's worried of you not getting married" as if marriage is the most important thing in this lifetime lolllll

[@kavyaviju3025]

Like why is she even bothered 😂 like she has to mind her own freaking life! If her mother or father worries, it makes sense cos the uncle is their sibling. Like WTF!!! The niece is fucked up

[@oppacutiee484]

"When he smiles he looked like Park Seo Jun" I died.

[@meilien2452]

mir and honggi for some reason looks like a pair of siblings~

[@fullmetalgaara2]

That last concern really bothered me. Not only because the niece was trying to out her uncle on national TV, but because the concern got accepted in the first place. The producers of the show must have reviewed the concern and saw through the girl's intentions, yet they were willing to potentially ruin someone's life because it would bring in ratings. Honestly, after pulling a move like that, the niece would not be living in my house. If it bothers her so much, she can move out and find her own place.

[@spishgj]

The girl in the last concern was just immature. She only wanted to find reason for the uncle's weird "preferences" & didn't think of the uncle's perspective. Whether or not he wanted to talk about his skin issue or to have people suspect him, she shouldn't put him in either situation. The second concern was most worrying.. I think either he's afraid to take care of his kids.. Some child phobia or he's just a self-centred husband who has no concerns of commitment. But I guess it seems like this usually among couples, one will be the more mature and committed one, and the other will just be the opposite...

[@Recklesslime2811]

Am I the only one hoping Honggi will say something scandalous again? x)

[@flytothesky407]

No. I was expecting that since i saw him on the tumbmail

[@MsAlways19]

[@carolinamtz13]

Yes I love when he does that because he is just real

[@Kay-iq8ht]

can you tell me please what did he say? i don't speak korean

[@kristel6228]

The girl on the last concern is a horrible niece. She shouldn't have brought personal matters on national tv, she should've talked about it with her uncle in privacy instead. The way the audience looked at her uncle was horrible. They looked at him with a disgusted look as if he was some kind of a cockroach (?) The way the girl talked about her uncle also seems like she's really grossed out. She didn't need to be like that. Everyone can live the way they want to because they have the right to do so. You have no right to poke into his personal preference. Anyways I really felt bad for the uncle, he must've felt really ashamed.

[@caramelsupreme]

It's kind of sad/embarrassing that the uncle had to explain himself.... he does whatever the hell he wants!

Really hoping that hong ki and shin hye gonna have a drama together soon based on the storyline in the MV 'insensible'

When i Saw Mir's name on the guestlist I legit started to cry....and Hongki was an added bonus cuz god knows have All it's been since these two have shared my screen

the third concern ugh that girl is REALLY REALLY MEAN !! none of her damn business what her uncle's sexuality is and the fact she made him come to a national program is just ridiculous >.

[@shinebrightbyul]

Am I the only one disappointed that no one pointed out how Mir and Honggi look so much alike? Mir was known to look like Honggi when he debuted!

[@deli28deli]

the 3rd concern isn't even a concern. She isn't suffering about her uncle. She should be happy that her uncle won't rape or harm her. There are enough cases as such.

[@reemcont]

Hongki beautiful as always! Look at him i followed his sns all his pics are so cute and he still hasn’t age he still look the same...the only different is his hair but still HOT 😘

[@moinfo_moinfo]

If she thought her uncle was gay, why would she try to "out" him on national television? Korea doesn't accept homosexuality easily. There are real repercussions (losing your job/losing clients/losing your place to live) if people know you're gay. She made things difficult for him. She should worry about her own life and getting married.

[@tyassannisa]

i was mixed up when i saw hongki and mir for a moment. lol. they're twiiiins!!😂😂😂

[@hayungkang295]

omg i literally watched MOST episodes of hello counselor but the third concern was the one I felt most sympathy towards. Because I have a severe skin condition as well. For me, it doesnt hurt (just itchy at times) but my neck, upper arm, chest, stomach, back, groin is covered and filled with a condition called tinea versicolor. The condition itself is not serious but not permanently removable. And since my case is REALLY serious (I've had it for 7 years now. Tried countless cream, shampoo, pills, etc.) I keep losing self confidence, I always tend to stare at girls with fair skin (especially their neck/chest area since that's one of the places where my skin condition is most critical at). Even when it's summer, I wear long sleeve shirts (and people stare at me weirdly). If I wear a short sleeve, people stare at me AGAIN and even walk a distance away from me because of my skin. It's just so hard.

[@LokumGibi41]

[@MrZanetha]

what was wrong with the girl that brought her uncle?....what was wrong with the hosts,talking about this is how real men run? I am heartbroken for the uncle. Everyone humiliated him, making him explain himself and life like that....what is the point of that?

[@popo6percent]

can't we just sing GOT7's 'If You Do' for the first concern? because the situation totally describe the song

[@morganlove99]

The last concern was so upsetting. To think the niece went snooping around and got his scrapbook to the show. It's so humiliating. Clearly he's gay and he looks so pitiful. His obsession could have become this intense because it is not accepted in Korea and he has has no other way to openly show interest in men he likes. Yes, the staring and groping is perverted and wrong. But I can't believe the niece could do this. If you were so concerned about your uncle you could have sat him down and had a talk with him instead of nagging him and straight up invade his privacy on national television. I couldn't stop cringing the entire time listening to the last concern. Sure, Korea has yet to open up to homosexuality but at least don't make such a huge joke of it publicly. People are people irrespective of their sexual orientation and this is insulting and hurtful to say the least.

[@WithLis]

I'm already crying of laughter because of Hongki's story about Henry omg

[@natk29]

[@xthatwhiteguyx]

I can honestly say I am more masculine than 100% of the males who have ever existed in KPop, and I like men... Am I not real?

[@gracevonmoos785]

first concern,any stupid pregnant would stay in the car for 6 hours? and wondering around if the husband is working? gosh shes something i cant explain, grow up, you will be a mother soon, its scary if after birth she bring the baby along with her,

[@nadia2883]

besides she stalks him has 24/7 camera view on him like seriously? he should divorce her if it wasent for the pregnancy

[@Jessifiy]

That last concern was so uncomfortable. If she'd come on and said 'my uncle has too many pictures, it's creepy' or 'he stares too much and makes people uncomfortable', then it would have been understandable. But it seemed to be more that she wanted him to declare his sexuality. If he doesn't want to tell you, don't force him, he's probably scared! And it was the way they started talking about 'real men', or that comment about running. They did say 'it's okay, it's accepted nowadays', but they all went quiet and said it awkwardly, i wouldn't be admitting it either in that situation! Plus when they said about touching another guy's thighs and all sucked in shocked breaths...i see males do that all the time in Korean programs! I know Korea is still a little behind in that respect even though they are improving, but living in a culture that's already (mostly) accepted it, it's really awful to watch others act like that. So uncomfortable.

[@lumpiangtanga9339]

what's wrong with being gay? still a human being that deserves respect.
