According to a report by Newsen, a rumor that two top male stars in Korea have become infected with AIDS has gone viral. Somehow, this meant that the two were also entangled in rumors about being homosexual... Clearly Korea did not get the memo that the rest of the world got years ago.
The rumor mill believes that one of the men traveled overseas over the weekend in top secret in order to receive treatment. The other, A, was reported to be very active with promotions at the moment.
One entertainment rep stated, "Although A is handsome and female celebrities for sure make eyes at him, he has never had any scandal with women after his debut for several years. He's the type to have surprisingly frequent and strange rumors about him with other men. He is the type to hang out with a lot with female celebrities, but strangely enough, seeing as no rumors come out of it, don't the rumors about him being gay seem to fit to a certain extent?" The rep enforced this belief by saying that A would often have "strange atmospheres" with other men even at official meetups.
Yet another rep stated cautiously, "A wants to come out, but his agency pressed him not to do so, so he has been unable to do it. You can't rule out the possibility of A coming out at some point." Allegedly, talk of his getting infected with AIDS last year surfaced, possibly stemming from statements like, "Because he's gay, he probably got infected with AIDS."
Well, according to the report, A was supposed to have a very good year in 2016, but with the belief that "the possibility of all this unraveling is high because he's gotten AIDS," he is being observed closely.
Regarding this, a high ranking rep from A's agency allegedly told Newsen, "Honestly, I don't know very well about this talk of his being gay. They're not [close enough] for him to say such private things to the agency. Even more so because that is such a personal matter." Newsen insists in its report that most of the time, an agency rep would respond with, "That's not it at all," but in this case, the rep was being very vague.
On the other hand, regarding the AIDS infection, the agency rep said, "That makes absolutely no sense. That is completely baseless."

For the other top star, B, one entertainment rep stated, "B has been involved with a lot of women, but seeing as he is a top star whose face is very well known, he could not easily access adult entertainment, so he often went to Southeast Asia. It was to the point that he would not refuse and would go there despite having a busy schedule when filming overseas. In spring and summer of 2015, he went to Southeast Asia concentrically for overseas filming, and whenever he did, I am aware that he had relations with local women every night. Although it's not much, it's all true up to here. Yet unluckily there is talk of him getting infected with AIDS."
B's agency rep told Newsen, "The rumor of his getting AIDS makes no sense. It is completely false, a groundless rumor. Recently, we got inquiries from lots of different places, but he personally explained it was not true while laughing."
However, the word on the street is that some say, "B of course told the agency and his family this truth in secrecy and went overseas to get treatment for AIDS."
