WHO IS GAY SHEE AND WHY PEOPLE THK SO?

Are there any mors about them beg gay or bisexual? That notwhstandg, he has never admted beg gay.

IS TAEM GAY? THE KPOP SUPERSTAR’S TE SEXUALY

He’s supportive of them, but we n’t tell if he is gay or bisexual. Some fans have the tenncy to thk he is gay, bee he has many female iends and rarely shows tert girls. “Key gay” is one of the most searched keywords Korean search eng.

Though some izens claim Mho to be gay, their statements are not backed up by aquate proof. As already said, is very difficult to suggt someone is gay unls the person clar himself.

This do not mean he uldn’t be gay, but we do not have reasons to spect so. From what we n gather, he nnot be said to be gay or bisexual.
