While there are very ltle rights protectg LGBT cizens, South Korea's tolerance of the LGBT muny is growg and a gay neighborhood exists the cy of Seoul where visors n enjoy the nightlife to the early hours of the morng. There were over a dozen other people (mostly olr men too) sleepg this room and not even reactg to the loud gay sex that was happeng (asi om one du who cid to start pleasurg himself). I'm actually gay and have been to a gay bathhoe before so of urse this didn't shock me terms of two men engagg terurse.

GAY SOUTH KOREA

From a personal experience, where do you guys remend a gay uple to stay Seoul? What's the formaly like over there toward gays? Let’s start this gay Seoul travel gui wh a roundup of the bt plac to stay Seoul.

Elska Magaze, the gay photography and culture project that travels around the world meetg men om diverse LGBTQ muni, releas s latt issue. "This has been the most difficult issue to make yet", says Liam Campbell, edor and chief photographer of Elska, "We ntacted lerally hundreds of guys but the vast majory preferred to stay 'discreet', fearg that exposure any sort of gay media uld jeopardise their jobs, their fai, everythg. The rult is a readg experience that giv an timate look si queer Seoul, as if we travelled together wh the Elska team to Seoul and met the guys real of the men the Seoul issue clu:U L, who shar his experience durg a trip to a tradnal bathhoe (a jjimjilbang), told through a lens of uncertaty and self-nscns;Jay S, who scrib the moment when his mother nonts him wh the accatn that he is gay;Ivan J, who reunts an afternoon of vegetable-aid masturbatn set to the soundtrack of hymnal Bach;Heezy Y, who talks about the difficulti of fdg succs a society so full of expectatns and nformy;Jose S-M, who as one of a large number of foreigners livg Seoul reflects upon his seven years livg the cy;Jam K, who discs tryg to rencile how to be a Korean man agast the opposg standard of masculy set by his Seoul is 180 pag.

A rise ronavis s traced back to Seoul’s gay district has sparked a homophobic backlash South Korea (ED JONES/AFP/Getty). A send wave of ronavis South Korea lked to gay clubs is fuellg a horrifyg rise homophobia that has seen LGBT+ people on datg s threatened wh doxxg. The spike ronavis s has thst South Korea’s gay scene to the spotlight – a terrifyg prospect a untry where LGBT+ discrimatn ns rampant and many choose to keep their sexualy a secret om iends and fay.

SEOUL GAY MAP

The news that ronavis was supposedly beg spread through gay bars and that queer people were ristg tectn “sent shockwav” through the natn, acrdg to South Korean journalist Hyunsu Yim, leadg to a sense of “palpable hatred” agast the LGBT+ muny.

The tensns were heightened further by the revelatn that two other club-goers wh ronavis had vised a gay bathhoe. “Unlike other club-related s, many want to not jt cricise the club-goers but lump the whole muny together, ” Yim said, addg that was remiscent of the homophobia that characterised the AIDS crisis the US. He blam multiple media outlets for amg the ronavis spike as a “gay club story” rather than a public health issue, promptg a slew of homophobia and shapg the narrative that people’s sexualy “needs to be known”.

Many South Korean media outlets have already taken the shockg step of outg people, revealg not only the inty of gay clubs’ clientele but also some of their ag and the nam of their workplac. The rult is that gay men fear of beg outed are now forced to remove their photos om datg apps, only to receive omo msag such as “You took your pictur down” and “You’ll see soon” om blank profil. The Guardian reports mours that YouTubers are jog gay datg apps to out gay men live.
