and in terms of idols acting gay with their own teammates i do believe some dgaf whether theyre gay or not its jist that their fans place these labels due to a handful of interactions then make a whole ship out of nowhere without asking the idols if they wanted to be part of it or not, i think a lot of what fans fantasise about idol groups is misleading them entirely and maybe the members they see defo arent always as close as that or the members have to hold back on how they really feel about certain things they have to do or experience in the group itself bc they know the sort of backlash theyll garner wont do them any good, and im sure there are actually gay idols in groups but its probably not who they think it is lmao but i dont get why shipping genuinely has to exist? i think one direction mightve started that trend in bgs now its liek the holy grail in terms of which idol is constantly with which idol without considering what either of them want or feel abt the "shipping". unless they are a boat i dont think shipping two people together is a healthy mindset to have when endorsing in kpop groups. if anything its a recipe for disaster because it seems like it prevents the image of their beloved male idol being with a female almost like they dont want to accept and alterior narrative that just because they act that close doesnt mean they actually are that close or doesnt mean they feel a certain way about each other and i also think it hinders the idols chances to build close relations with the opposite gender as well cause the idols keep being tied to others within the group or maybe an idol wants their own place but they are constantly sharing space with another member bc its easier for the manager of the group to keep the memebrs stuck together.
