txt makes music that gay people (using as an umbrella term) (myself included) love, so I'm gonna list all the times I can remember their music and music videos being queer-coded off the top of my head.

disclaimer: this is not me assuming anyone's sexualities!! when discussing music videos and using member names, I am referring to the characters they play in the video and not the members themselves.

the 0x1=lovesong music video. holy shit. show this to a queer closeted teenager and they will go absolutely feral. I saw a twitter thread once (when Twitter wasn't locked to people without accounts) about all the queer-coding and it made me lose my mind. I don't have access to Twitter anymore, but from what I can remember, there were a lot of references to Leslie Cheung films. The one example I can remember is the scene for the bridge where Yeonjun dances in front of the other members. also the lyrics??? "I'm not going to get into heaven" oh my god. also again with the bridge, literally everything about the pair dance (and then saying 'girl' as if that would somehow make it seem less gay lmao).

2. the loser = lover mv. Literally everything about Beomgyu's storyline. Gender non-conforming teenager and the only member without a (moa self-insert) girlfriend (but with daddy issues lmao). Also "with you even a fall is beautiful" what if I Cried.

3. poppin star. granted, this is more of a meme than anything else, but if you've ever seen the "txt songs gay as hell so they've got to add a little gendered term to spice things up, because why are the lyrics like "we must keep this a secret our love is illegal in 56 countries- GIRL" tweet, this song is what the tweet was referencing. literally one of the lyrics is "isn't this perhaps something that the country has allowed/something that we have hidden/alright, it's something that's not allowed for just anyone/try popping a whole mouthful" like WHAT? I still have no idea what that means.

4. devil by the window. uhhhhh they're getting tempted by a devil with male pronouns. really the whole temptation album is kind of gay if you look at it through this lens.

5. sugar rush ride. I don't even have any specific examples tbh. everything about the lyrics.

6. crown. a song about feeling like a monster, but meeting someone who's the same as you and learning to accept yourself. shout out to the lyrics "would there be forgiveness?/even for the devils?" and "nobody can understand/but it's you/your life changed my world like magic"

this is all I remember for now, but I'll edit this post or make a new post if I remember more. feel free to add your own in the replies or reblogs!

HELLO i just wanted to say that your poppin star analysis was really good and really interesting but also i was genuinely surprised by the reading of soobin's "i can't go to heaven" lines as queer subtext bc my brain has only ever interpreted it as adolescent self-loathing (i.e. i'm not suited for heaven bc i'm a bad person and heaven is for good people). BUT that is a super super fascinating reading of it and i see where you're coming from!!

I'm so glad you enjoyed the poppin star analysis! Thank you for your compliment 😊

As for Soobin's lines from lovesong, I can definitely see it from your interpretation as well, that we're presented with a self-loathing adolescent who thinks he's not good enough to get into heaven.

I've personally always felt an undeniably queer feeling to lovesong and the music video for how much the song centers on religious motifs and longing. Straight people just don't be making songs about sacrificial love the way queers do.

There's some interesting studies on how religious iconography and motifs are utilized in queer art. In kpop, Taemin feels like the most relevant example. He's constantly using religious motifs to convey a message about, for example, yearning, guilt, and self -acceptance, all of which are universally queer experiences.

Just the way that 0x1=lovesong talks about their love...yeonjun describes it as holy, soobin mentions this person is an angel who appeared one day, kai begs "please use me like a drug"....such intense worshipping and yearning, borderline sacrificial.......idk what else to say besides ummm gay

kpop boy groups will have a MV with all the members having the time of their lives and enjoying their youth, driving off into the sunset, holding hands and running across grass, laying next to each other and gazing into the other's eyes softly with a coming of age summer romance vibes and the song will have some of the most pining, yearning, you-are-my-savior type of lyrics only to have a randomass 'girl, I need you' in there
