no problem sweetie♥ kpop fans always seem to forget that homosexuality exists even in korea (wow shocking i know) + he probably meant that he was shocked and bothered by people's response but used the wrong word. I'm bi and have never experienced homophobia tho so I cant really say if it was harmful and or homophobic.
you're so right and i genuinely don't understand their logic?? maybe those fans comfort themselves somehow by believing that all their biases are straight and therefore there is a chance they'll date them or something but... that's just not true. they're not all straight, and as soon as fans accept that and stop attacking those of us that realize that fact the better. as i said in my post, i do see why some fans are angry, but i don't think he was trying to be vehemently homophobic at all.
