YinWar on where they draw the line
(Fan service, false rumors, misinterpretations, and setting boundaries at work)
This is a compilation of interviews that highlight YinWar’s approach to boundaries, professionalism, and their stance on fan service.
In an industry where fan service often blurs the line between performance and personal space, Yin and War have always stayed true to their values, even when it wasn’t the most popular choice. They keep it real, without selling themselves short.
1. Drawing the Line: “They Told Us to Kiss”
Yin: “We made it clear from day one: with each other, and with the fans. People around us said we had to make fans happy because we’re in BL. I didn’t know what to think then, so I asked War.”
War’s advice? “We’re actors. We do our job. Beyond that, it’s our life. Just live it how you want.”
That one response? Chef’s kiss.
2. They Don’t Sell Intimacy to Be Famous
They’ve built a strong, loyal fanbase based on trust, not public stunts. They value real communication and mutual respect.
3. Choosing Authenticity Over Popularity
This one quote from Yin says it all (just… wow):
“If we were to do things we don't want to do just to make a group of people happy, would we be happy in the long run?”
“We’d rather continue being like this. Even if fewer people like us, at least we know they truly like us. We get to be ourselves.”
YinWar chooses quality over quantity. Their long-term fans respect that and stay because of it.
4. False Rumors & Misinterpretations: Yin Doesn’t Hold Back
Yin addresses the Jack & Joker scene, where fans thought he improvised a head touch.
He says he followed the director’s instructions. And he’s clear- there are three things he will never improvise:
• Action scenes
• Love scenes
• Sex scenes
Why?
Because safety and consent matter. Action scenes for physical safety. Intimate scenes because they’re emotionally sensitive. Without rehearsal or supervision, they can cause trauma.
“Even if we (YinWar) are close, we still need to practice in workshop.”
Professionalism? 100/10.
5. “Imagination Is More Important Than Knowledge”
War mentions how false info circulates online: how even glances are misinterpreted.
Yin jokingly adds, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.”
They tease fans about the wild theories, but it’s also a gentle call-out.
Some edits? Creative fun. Others? They dangerously blur fiction and reality.
6. “We’re Not a Ship – We’re Partners”
Yin says they’ve known each other for years.
“We’re not a ship. We’re friends.”
He prefers the term “partners” or “buddies.”
They’re not here to feed delusions- they’re real people, not fanfiction characters.
7. Loyalty Through Action, Not Gimmicks
YinWar does interact with fans- just not through forced fan service.
They joke around during meet-and-greets. Like recent meet and greet in Vietnam, when a fan with crutches had mobility issues, they playfully acted as her fan and interacted with her.
Last year? They hosted a New Year’s BBQ event “Mooyears Eve” out of their own pocket for Thai and international fans. Mini-concert included.
In earlier years, they did live sessions, Q&As, and just goofed around with fans
They don’t want mass followings- they want genuine, respectful fans. And the ones who stick around? Those are the real ones.
8. Turning Fan Service Into Comedy
In older content (Rookie Thailand, Laneige youtube channel), they can be seen intentionally sabotaging fan service scenes- turning them into comedy bits.
It’s their way of playing along, but on their own terms-without giving in to unrealistic expectations.
They don’t cave to industry pressure. They won’t compromise on their values just to make people happy.
Not everyone in the BL world has the guts to say, “No, we won’t fake intimacy for clout.”
YinWar? They said it. Lived it. Stuck with it.
That’s rare.
And that’s one of the many reasons to love them.
