Lee Know would make the PERFECT villain in a kdrama especially him wearing that red leather outfit.

Minsung - Fan Service?

I've seen some people claim that this moment is total fan service as if the staff told Lee Know to put his arm around Han. Which makes me very sad since I am a hardcore Minsunger...but it does make me think.

I admit there does seem like something is off...but Lee Know just doesn't seem like a man who listens too well and does what he wants. I mean he holds Han's butt at award shows, and admitting to trying to get away with it.

This made me think about the interactions between some idols.

What are your thoughts?

Minsung Looking Royal at Met Gala

All the boys looked amazing at the Met Gala. I'm so happy that TH took them as a group to the gala and styled them stunningly. They were definitely the most talked about attendees. I mean, how could they not be? Stray Kids World Domination!

But this pic...Han and Lee Know look like billionaire princes.

I hope the two of them got to enjoy NYC while they were there. The weather was nice, so let's hope they had a date with coffee and cake.

Happy Minsung Cuddle Day

These pictures are two of my most fave of Minho and Jisung. I mean look at how smol and cute Minho is in Jisung's lap. You don't often see that side of him.

Honestly the photos are so candid, and so boyfriend coded it's ridiculous.

I love seeing old photos and footage of them when they were I think trying to navigate the intense strong feelings between them. Now, you can see the maturity in their relationship. It's still intense and loving but smoothed out, you know what I mean?

[k-poppinoff]

I love these two. I'm in love with their love.

Exchanging their skzoo pins like this is gayer than if they happen to kiss

Felix the "Ice Prince"

Honestly, seeing him walk the runway, with the look he had.. Good Lord...I don't think anyone was prepared for that. He looked otherwordly, ethereal, stunning, gorgeous, and a million other synonyms for beautiful.

I wondered if Changbin watched and thought, Have mercy on my soul! To think that he could have all that if he wanted. lol Yes, I know delulu af.

All I know if I love seeing a honestly lovely person with a pure heart get everything they ever wanted in life. It's just the first step for him in fashion. I could actually see him design his own line in the future, being mentored by Nicolas Ghesquiere, who calls Felix his muse.

This duo is electric! Could you imagine a photo shoot together... I think all of Stayville would perish

Lee Know's Angelic Voice

Lee Know just dropped a cover of Day 6's Love me or Leave me. It's so beautiful. I'm so happy that he's starting to push himself out with solo songs. I hope he does a million more, although I'm not sure this world deserves him.

Happy 1 Year Anniversary to Minsung Pool Date!!

I loved how they decided to stay at the hotel together instead of going to a gorgeous beach with the other members and then to Chan's house for dinner with his family.

And then how they kept talking about it, like I counted at least 5 times after the fact not including how Jisung talked about it on stage at both concert days.

I'm just speculating here and I'm completely aware I may be delulu (which I'm okay with) but that seemed like a really special event for them, for their relationship (whatever it may be - disclaimer for those Stays who I know will jump on here or elsewhere and scream quite loudly how they are "JUST FRIENDS"). I wonder if it was first time they could be alone together without cameras in their faces on tour?

No one can deny their bond, it is so BEAUTIFUL as friends, and soulmates and group mates. It is so pure that they have captivated fans from all over the world, who root for them. I find it fascinating how invested I am in their relationship, it surprises me as I have never been one for love...never really believed in it at its purest level.

I have been in love certainly, have had long relationships, I have friends who are married and have the best relationship, but I still never really bought into the soulmate thing... not until I discovered Stray Kids and watched these 8 super talented, gentle, kind, creative men grow up together and become super stars sharing their light with the world.

I've watched some baby Minsung videos and you can plainly see the two of them trying to figure it out, trying to understand the strong connection they have for each other. Especially Lee Know, imo. People will think I'm delulu for this, but I firmly believe that he courted Jisung in a way, maybe not romantically, but as solidifying a relationship with him. He bought Jisung presents of things he truly wanted, on Jisung's 18th birthday (I think it was his 18th, might have been 19th) he hand made Jisung coupons for meals that he could use at anytime. I mean...HOW EFFING SWEET IS THAT? And in their 2 Kids Show Jisung talked about Lee Know taking him out to eat A LOT as they were getting to know each other. If that's not courting, then I don't know what is...

Anyway, this post is so long...lol, but I really love seeing the two of them together, and I hope that if they are romantically involved (and for everyone out there, you can be romantically attracted to someone, and not sexually, love doesn't always lead to sex, but if they are sexually attracted to each other that's great too!) and that if they ever reveal it openly (although I think they are pretty open about it now, lol) I hope they are fully supported by every Stay.

shout out to Kopbeingkpop for all their awesome videos!!

Lee Know, HAN "Want so BAD" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-RECORD]

For all the lovers out there, Happy Valentine’s Day.

I’ve never been a fan of this day, even when I was in a relationship. For me, it feels so forced, ONE DAY to celebrate people being in a relationship and in love. I think couples should celebrate each other, every day, its the small things, the soft or hungry looks, the gentle or fierce touches, the loving words, acts of service and kindness, the comfortable silence of knowing each other...

So HAPPY MINSUNG DAY to everyone who celebrates!!

[k-poppinoff]

I predict these guys are going to be the next big group. I love their sound. Totally remind me a little of Stray Kids, the fact that they are a bit out of the box. And I love Jo's liberty spikes!!

Their song BURN UP slaps hard. I have it on repeat on my spotify

Minsung are minsunging hard

We got some beautiful new moments today. But this one, this one makes me want to throw up... gah!!! I mean, look at the way Lee Know is watching Han's face for his reaction to his touch.

Always makes me laugh too when the "I love their FRIENDSHIP" people comment. I saw an exchange between a minsunger and someone who was like don't ship them like that, they are just friends...after a few back and forths it was obvious that the reasons the one commenter kept at it about "friends" was because they were homophobic and thought it was disgusting. They even said as much. I think a lot of those who argue against the possibility that Lee Know and Han are very much in love and in a relationship is due to homophobia that is rampant in Korea.

I think I-stays are more open to the possibility because we probably all know someone who is gay, or are gay themselves...I'm queer af and I love the possibility that Minsung are living and loving their best lives together.

2023 was a discovery of Kpop and BL series for me. I did watch some Kdramas before but like the mainstream ones like Squid Game, Bloodhounds, movies like Train to Busan, Parasite and The Host, but now that's pretty much all I watch.

At first I thought all the BL series were light and fluffy and at first I was into them, but I realized quite quickly that I needed something darker, something with depth. Then I watched The Eighth Sense and was blown away by the story, the characters, the cinematography and musical score. For me, this show has far surpassed any other BL and in fact is on my list of fave Kdramas of all time.

Other BL's I would give high marks to:

Semantic Error

Our Dating Sim

Where Your Eyes Linger

To My Star (1 and 2)

I tried to get into Thai BL series, but they are just not my jam. I keep hearing good things about KinnPorsche, and maybe I will dive in some day soon. But for now The Eighth Sense is at the very tippy top.

What makes you happy the most these days? I got a new friend. How do you feel when you are with that new friend? I just feel comfortable. We just became friends. And it's not like we spent a lot of time together. But he is the most comfortable friend I have right now. I don't have to try so hard in front of him. I don't have to be someone I'm not. And I am happy when I'm with him.
