#congrats on differentiating between fiction and reality?

FYI semantic error and city boy log are produced by the same production team. Both are fictional BL-stories. One just happens to be filmed in a more creative way. It’s an acting job which doesn’t affect Jaejun’s idol activities at all and he auditioned for it by his own will.

anon are you the same person who was vagueposting about how it was 'thinly veiled homophobia' to suggest korean men could possibly be uncomfortable with homosexuality... city boy log fans come experience korean society challenge

anyway yeah I'm aware they are both fictional projects and that one is more overtly scripted but it's completely disingenuous to suggest there aren't MAJOR differences between semantic error and city boy beyond mere 'creative filming', and furthermore INCREDIBLY naïve to say that taking a fairly explicit queer role 'doesn't affect jaejun at all' as an idol, let alone a boundary-blurring kind of project like CBL

korea is still overwhelmingly homophobic as fuck and that's just how it is. that's the reality of the framework we all still gotta live in and it DOES affect everybody. sure, plenty of groups are trying to get a boost from having a member do something moderately gay, but no one in omega x would even touch mouths with another dude while in-character; jaejun is playing a character based on himself that has his same name and same job and knows the same real life people, and also explicitly is like 'yeah i got fucked crazy by a man last night'. 1000% their team had multiple meetings about it.
