Random BL icons

A small mix of BL icons for everyone's taste. I have been half obsessed with several of them so I needed to share something about it here for the memory. I confess that I still have some left to read, but we're on it.

Byul can speak now and knows how to call his dad 😭 Time flies so faaast 😭

i kind of really want a "The Modern Master Returns" AU where Eveheim picks OG Yuseong up after Kim Dojin abandons him, and trains him (the same way he "trains" Kim Dojin in the novel)

it'd be very evil mastermind of him to pit the children of two people he murdered against each other, especially when one is Baek Yuri's son and the other is a genius he's actually interested in

Park Family is baccccck with special chapters.😭♥

Note: For this list, I decided not to add a symbol for shows that center queerness, because in a way all of these shows do that and at the same time almost none actually do. Queer characters and their love stories are featured in every show in this list, but most of them do not address any other queer aspects of their lives and only some address the fact that they are queer at all. This is not a critique of South Korean shows, but just an observation of their current media landscape and added as context, in case you are interested in watching.

[l0ve0utl0ud]

2019 was a big year for Angelico Entertainment. Alongside debuting their biggest female act yet, VENUS, just a year prior, they also struck gold with their first ever in-house boy group: LoveOutLoud, abbreviated to L.O.L for branding purposes. Starting off as a ten-member lineup, L.O.L became an almost instant KPOP darling, still being girl group stans token boy group to stan.

Despite their bright and youthful branding, the inner workings of L.O.L are quite dark as their mistreatment goes back to their pre-debut days. It's rare for there to be an L.O.L comeback without a member sick or injured, as their promotional schedules are grueling and stacked. The members, despite being well into their careers at this point, haven't had a break in nearly four years.

The notorious Angelico CEO, Son Jinhwa, would say there's no time for breaks. Their momentum is still building; if they take a break, they'll be forgotten.

The boys took those words to heart, publicly denouncing the need for breaks between releases and saying they enjoy promoting as much as they do.

Well, almost all of them did.

By the end of 2021, they dropped to seven members, with three of the members leaving on what seemed like a bimonthly basis. First started with Siho leaving in March, citing creative differences and mistreatment but he would not leave Angelico. Instead, he would stay and produce under the label until his contract ran up. Fans speculate the final nail in the coffin for Siho was when other L.O.L member Jesse was given the spot as producer despite Siho being promised the role. Once Siho's contract with Angelico was up, he would become a producer and music video director.

Next to leave was Yadam in August, citing physical exhaustion and contractual disagreements as his reasons. Yadam was a beloved and well-known member of the group for his vocals and visuals, originally holding the spot as the official visual. He would go on to sue Angelico Entertainment for mistreatment, claiming that they did not allow him proper vocal rest, permanently damaging his vocal cords. Though the case made it far, the two parties settled out of court. He would go on to debut as a soloist and actor in 2023 after a much-needed break.

The last member to officially leave L.O.L would be Asher in December of that same year, claiming mental health struggles as his reason for leaving. Asher was one of the more popular members internationally for his bright and out-there personality, which seemed to dim as the years went on. He would return to America the same year and become a thriving social media influencer and actor in the States, having a following of 1.7 million on YouTube, 7.1 million on TikTok, and 5.2 million on Instagram.

Currently, Akio, the seventh member, is on a hiatus because of an ankle injury he obtained in 2023. He has not been an active member with the group for nearly a year now, leaving many fans to worry he will be the next one to drop from the lineup.

The group sits pretty and happy on top of the boy group brand rankings, being some of the most recognizable and beloved faces in the KPOP industry at the moment, but are they really as bright and happy as they seem?

JANG DOJIN "JESSE" –– 98 LINER ; LEADER, PRODUCER, VOCALIST.

Another manhwa review

Love is an Illusion 💞🙅‍♂️

Type: Omegaverse (α/Ω)

Korean title: 사랑은 환상! / Salang-eun Hwansang!

English title: Love is an Illusion

Author: Fargo

Link to read: Lezhin US

Characters:

김혜성 / Kim Hye-seong 💫

박도진 / Park Dojin

Park Dojun (Dojin's older brother)

박도겸 / Park Do-gyeom (Dojin's eldest sister)

Park Dohun (Dojin's eldest brother)

Park Hakyung (Dohun's son)

박하민 / Park Hamin (Dohun's son)

장서진 / Jang Seojin (Dohun, Do-gyeom, Doju, Dojin omega father)

박별 / Park Byeol ⭐️ (Hye-sung and Dojin's son)

I don't need to say anything I hate this manhwa so much also I hate rich people, also I really hate how people hates Hye-seong when he's the victim. Sure I know he's annoying most of the times but that doesn't change the fact that he's literally a victim

[frill-s]

I just binged "I Woke Up As The Villain" and the amount of characters that refer to the Main Character, Choi Yuseong, and the original ML of the novel, Kim Dojin, as lovers is way too high for this not to be considered BL.

Meghan, Mina, Rachel, and more asked flat-out if they were lovers. Of course, it was denied every time. But. My god. Meghan even got Bernard into it, wishing he was with Yuseong since he wasn't with Dojin.
