    Yessss I love this! Chan and Changbin especially have talked about avoiding using gendered pronouns in their music so that more people can relate to it, which I love. When they performed I'll Be Your Man by BtoB on Kingdom, they even altered the lyrics so the 'you' isn't referred to as a girl.

    Minho actually wears safety pins very often and he even posted a selfie literally HOLDING ONE in his hand, at the time he already was my bias but that was the nail in the coffin for me... I had a safety pin tattoo even before I knew anything about kpop, 4 years ago, and I've been out for 10 years now, so somehow finding some kind of acknowledgement by my favorite person in the entire world makes me feel validated as hell... Life is tough for us you know, any little thing that helps me keep going, I will definitely cherish it and flaunt it around.
    Also Minho has a very big heart and you probably can look up vids about his involvement in cat shelters, UNICEF, sponsoring African children, always buying fashion accessories that support good causes, and even very recently he bought face masks that supports a cat shelter, he's very thoughtful and very humble which is why not enough people/STAYs know about this, especially new ones.
    I know this was a LGBTI+ video but seeing the way you literally melted upon the safety pin thing, and his overall veryyyy fruity behavior, I feel like you would appreciate to learn a bit more about him. He's very hard working, never lets us worry about his well being, he texts good night every day and always reminds us to eat our meals, he's a sweetheart and he only deserves the best. My tsundere baby 💕

    Hii I’m Korean and I’ve never lived in other countries so my english might be bad so sorry about that first. In Korea, most of the younger generation accept lgbtq+ positively but sometimes, some people ask like “oh.. then you like me?”. My parents are very strict christian and they used to hate lgbtq+ but, as the number of lgbtq+ characters in dramas and movies increased, they accept them naturally and their prejudices disappeared. We’ll have the president election soon but as i know only one candidate mentioned and send support to lgbtq+ community. I hope my explanation would help you to understand social awareness about lgbtq+ in Korea. We also hold queer culture festival every year, not only in Seoul so It’s definitely getting better and better. time is the key! I’m waiting the day that I don’t need to explain what is pansexual and why I am pansexual anymore!🥰

    Personally, I believe the the Kids aren't homophobic AT ALL...at least, not from what I've seen and from the stories that some of you have told me. But there is a discussion to be had about the queer-baiting that occurs in the industry at large (which JYP is completely fine with) but when it comes to actually supporting LGBTQ+ rights....or representing members of the LGBTQ+...
    TL;DR - Stray Kids good, JYP bad

      It’s important to remember the social climate in South Korea as well. JYP is a publicly traded company on the South Korean stock exchange. With so much stigma to same-sex relationships and same-sex marriage in their country - I have a feeling it’s a don’t ask-don’t tell environment. They have to protect their bottom line.

      @@notme3252 Sure.
      But JYP’s CEO is very homophobic and not only speaks out against LGBTQ+ support bills, but also kicks out certain performers if they are even remotely “out”.
      And again, this is another generational issue (just as it is in the US) from what I’ve been told. Millennials and younger generally feel that’s it’s not really an issue. It’s the older, more religious individuals who do.
      We’ve seen how much support Holland has received on his own. So it’s a matter of wanting your company to progress and thrive in the new era, or slowly become a relic. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Stray kids went to a pride parade in NYC and bang Chan is often inclusive in his speech (a direct quote) “…if you’re a boy, a girl, or anyone else you choose to be” and he has said in his live that all are welcome and he means ALL. Lee Know is actually really soft hearted which you saw in the 2kids1room but it’s even deeper than that. All his jewelry is for a cause and has meaning whether it’s saving animals, awareness and donations to unfortunate children and his safety pin earring showing off his support to the 🏳️‍🌈. And when Felix was at a fan meet a fan asked him who’s your ideal type Felix responded “boy or girl”. Stray kids are very comfortable with themselves and stays are and should be very happy that the group we chose to stan cares enough about us to be inclusive and mindful of us which a lot of idols don’t engaged with these topics bc of backlash. And it’s just like you said whatever their sexuality is has nothing to do with us. They’re people who deserve respect and privacy regardless of how much they give and share with us. Thank you for respecting them as well!

    as someone from the lgbt+ community; a cis-gendered gay man, this is one of the reasons why i love stanning stray kids so much cuz they never fail to make me feel included as a fanboy!
    like for example, they don’t really use gendered pronouns cuz they want more people to relate to their music and stories, and also in one of the SKZ Talkers, Changbin first asked “I look good right now, I’m doing it for the Stay princesses” but then he also said “ah! i shouldn’t say that because there are also Stay princes!”
    and when i tell you that i teared up omg 😭 i know this may seem overdramatic but i’ve been stanning kpop for 10 years but i’ve never felt so included when i started to stan stray kids! they never fail to also include their fanboys and nb fans!
    for chan’s room, at the ending, he usually say something like “good bye baby stays!” cuz before this he used to say baby girls only and then he included baby boys too! after a while, he changed it to baby stays so that everyone could feel included and also saying baby stays instead of baby girls and baby boys is way easier 😂
    so yeahhhh that’s why i love stray kids so much!

      A fanboy! Yes! Recently Changbin had a cute moment in one of the SKZ talker vids where he talked to the camera and said, “Get ready to welcome me Stay princesses,” then thought for a second and said, “Oh, this isn’t it. Stay is not a princess. Stay…there could be a prince, right?” So even though his first thought was the fangirls, he immediately corrected himself to recognize that fanboys love him too…which I thought was endearing.

    As many have said, it's not JUST the lgtbq+ gifts they can't really receive on stage when performing. Otherwise they'd get too many with nowhere for it to go. They CAN give it to them at fan signs.
    The boys, as you can see, are very accepting and open and loving of the lgbtq+ community, and I think that's beautiful.
    Also, I love your reactions, and I LOVE that you and Topher do videos together. It makes me smile a ton. You're both hilarious and awesome and wonderful.

    One thing about Stray Kids is how open they are talking about things whether it be their likes or dislikes, mental health, and even personal things.

    The company is not letting them get the lgbt flag, they are not allowed to. Not just Stray Kids but most Kpop group in the industry are not allowed by their company. I heard it is because it's kind of controversial for koreans, LGBTQ+ are still not that accepted by koreans so to avoid issue the company didn't allowed kpop group to take LGBTQ+ Flag, Koreans are still not that open minded. This is what I know, just correct me if I'm wrong.

      If you google korean lgbt bullying you'll see its really bad for lgbt youths in korea (many recent articles). Even teachers can be homohobic and basically punish kids for being gay, I've read some pretty horrifying stories... There's no laws to protect lgbt folks either, they can be fired, evicted & denied services for being gay.
      Lgbt kpop artists has been banned from appearing on some big TV networks (which is extremely bad for the group/persons promotion) & have their content be age restricted, so companies might disband groups or kick the specific member out if they'd come out publicly.
      JYP (former owner of JYPE & Stray kids literal boss) does a sermon (idk if that's how it's spelled but when they talk... religiously...) broadcast for a really homophobic Christian cult. Their BOSS.......
      The general population is also really uneducated on lgbt (pro lgbt hets often still thinks it's a choice bc theres not much education on lgbt). Lgbt folks are so hidden many people think they've never seen or met someone lgbt before... And lgbt support in korea is still low & religion rules their politics...

    "Who doesn't let them take it?" = it's not the manager, it's a company policy
    Based on the experience of a colleague who worked on Day6's show, JYP is VERY controlling.
    Artists cannot take any gift since they cannot take them all, but they also cannot take a flag or message banner (even without keeping it) in fear of public's reaction, they also cannot say what they want during the show and were asked to speak Korean as much as possible rather than English (might be different in a country with English as their main language, but the show wasn't so I don't know)
    I think it goes much further than LGBTQ+ issues, it's mostly a balancing act to avoid backlash (and some fans craziness)

I actually fell for SKZ hard after watching a lot of their variety shows and get shocked on how comfortable they r with each other. No one was disgusted with skinship, and everyone cares to such a personal level with each other.

    (For once, I managed to self-edit my unsolicited TMI and wiped out 75% of this comment before posting. I'm very proud of me. Now I will obsess about those unsaid words for the next week.)
    When I decided to try kpop and find one group to focus on to give me a focus and keep me here until my brain decided to return to functionality, I knew it would need to be a group I was safe with, and even my limited knowledge at the time was enough for me to know that wasn't going to be as easy as it sounded. I literally researched the industry and an untold number of groups for who was seen as most accepting, who the most rainbow fans felt safest with, and why -- and it led me to SKZ. I deliberately chose them, out of every group in the industry, because they were the group most heavily seen as safe and supportive by rainbow fam. I needed that reassurance and recommendation from others who understood why that was so important, because I wasn't in the kind of mental space that would let me be ok with even a middle-of-the-road generically cisheteronormative baseline. SKZ won that research quest hands-down.

    It seems to very much depend on the company whether Idols are allowed to be very open with their support or not. Generally idols from smaller companies are able to more openly support, and do things like taking pride flags on stage. As far as large companies go SM is probably the most open one. They have had an mv depicting queer love, and had drag queens in a mv. Some Idols from the company have also made public statements supporting lgbtq+ people, as well as openly showing their friendship with some of the very few openly gay celebrities in Korea.

  • @MissYellowCat
    @MissYellowCat 2 года назад +4

    Yea so south Korean is honestly still a pretty conservative country, like honestly it's kind of hard to describe, like literally 5 years ago you would hear people say things about male kpop idols wearing makeup straight to their face, like actually right to their face, nowadays not so much. Of course I'm not korean so I can't really say much but things like LGBTQ+ are a bit hush hush, like you can make silent references but most of the time you can't ever out right say it. The very first and only confirmed openly gay kpop idol is Holland, and he talks about how him being openly gay has gotten him kicked out of most if not all companies, he even created his own company, and not given the same opportunitys as other kpop idols. Would also like to mention that back in the day, kinda of before 3rd gen and 4th gen, kpop idols had a very.... toxic relationship with fan service, like would straight up kiss members openly on stage but then say some slick homophobic ish right after. That's all imma say on that, of course not all older gen kpop idols but it's one of the reasons why I don't really stan any 1st 2nd gen idols

  • @RM_formerlyjustRMbutYTsucks

    You getting distracted by Lee Know's famous noot-noot expression is classic STAY behavior, jsyk.
    Random side note to random people in random comments here and elsewhere: JYP/JYPE hiring people like Novvkim does not somehow make him/them nonhomophobic or "allies" or whatever. If you've somehow missed the fact that the world is more than happy to take advantage of the talents of minority and undervalued groups and enjoy the creativity/skills thereof, while simultaneously finding them to be "less than" or unacceptable, then you're cognitively blind to the point that conversing is useless. Someone can jam to songs from artists of color and still be a racist. Someone can appreciate the skills of their neurodivergent doctor and still be ableist. Someone can love their plush mom or tell their chubby best friend "No, not _you. You're_ pretty!" and still be a fatphobe. Someone can like a sculpture by a woman artist and still be a misogynist. Someone can recognize the talents of a queer director and be more than happy to make millions of dollars off their work...and still be a homophobe.

  • @mudkipjuice
    @mudkipjuice 2 года назад +21

    I really think there is a reason skz have such a huge and devoted lgbtq+ following. Their love and support has never felt fake or objectifying. Yes there is some fanservice of course, it's the nature of the industry, but never once have I looked at fanservice and thought "this is queerbaiting me" like with other groups. I've never had that doubt because while JYP/E might want a queerphobic audience, I know through their music and their behavior that skz do not, and their support and love is genuine even in those times where producers clearly are feeding them what to do and say.
    Being a trans queer-identifying gay man I do of course recognize the importance of never forcing a label onto anyone, but we do find our own people. There IS coding there that is subtle and not baiting. Whether its an intentional signal or just a result of aggressive acceptance doesnt really matter to me, it makes me feel safe regardless. I look at skz and feel that im looking at our community, no matter what they identify as. Right now with no one having come out about their sexuality, they are very good Allies and thats enough.

    About the pride flag, they couldn't take some gifts/things from the fans in the middle of the concert. There are some concert where fans usually throw their gifts in front of the stage so skz will able to use or play with it. (but it depends on the stage tho as well) Them wanting to take the flag was hard, cuz they are still performing.

    Your disclaimer gives me life. There's so much hate toward videos like this and "fans" decrying that it's not okay because they're straight and it's not right to suggest anything else. Meanwhile the idols have never explicitly said they were straight. Like, just don't assume anything. And don't make being straight some default setting for people, like some app installation where if you don't go into advanced settings and explicitly choose 'gay' then by default you're straight. The default is just existence.

    i hope u enjoyed the video! them being super inclusive and supportive makes me even more of a stay that i already was, almost all of their songs don’t have a “gender” meaning they don’t use the word girl, it’s usually they/them and i think that’s pretty cool because you don’t see it often.
    chan got pretty bad backlash from that clip of him talking about periods, a lot of people were mad because he is a man and he is “not supposed” to talk about those things (which i think it’s stupid, because the boy never said anything wrong, and i would very much rather if boys had a little bit of knowledge or empathy towards those things) and that was really sad, he even apologized which i don’t think he should’ve.

I think Stray Kids when they finish their contract with JYP should keep their name and once out of his hold collab with every singer who is lgbt starting with Holland. If SKZ ever collabed with Holland it would be a huge moment for the world.

    Like it just would make sense, many of them are actors and actresses as well, they have written and or sung Soundtracks (OSTs) for Animes and Series / Drama / Love stories and surley made LGBTQ+IA hinting comments. "Being as honest as possible without being kicked out of the industry." But I will say it until it happens if they're not already working on it "There will be a Thai Pop Kpop BL crossover (most likely soone when we think)" We just need to get some peoples stick out of their behinds a lil more. ;)
