Finding the Fake Short Kings PART 2!
So after the first post (See Part 1 here) I did I couldn't stop thinking...are there actually any true short kings in BL? Or is it all just an illusion? So after more digging, I bring you PART 2!
(There is also now a Part 3!)
While keeping my AVERAGE height cut off of 175cm (or roughly 5'8") I have now discovered that IT IS A LIE! The only true short king in BL I think I have found so far is *drumroll* Nat Natasit at 165cm or 5'4". Out of the 22 new names that I have added to the list only SEVEN came in under the 175cm average.
Please see below the new crop of height comparisons for your viewing pleasure.
(Please Note: Again finding the true heights of all these actors is not easy and there are conflicting reports so I have done my best)
And now...the MEGA Height list combining Parts 1 & 2!
The black silhouette/line marks the 175cm average, and as you’ll see, the vast majority of BL actors, even the ones perceived as “short”, are actually above average. (Apologies for the tiny text size)
Before I do the individual breakdowns, here are some interesting data points that I noticed.
Zee and Max are shorter than I expected, both at 182cm (about 5'11") and just barely taller than some of the “bottoms” like Zi Yu (180cm, Revenged Love) and Raiden Lin (178cm, See Your Love).
Meen and Ping are very tall, with Ping coming in at 186cm, taller than many of the “tops.”
Cooheart/Earth is not as small as I thought! At 172cm (5'7"), they are below the average but actually taller than Fluke, who’s 170cm (5'6").
Off (178cm) is only 1cm taller that Park Jae Chan (177cm)! Shows what a difference your partners height makes.
The biggest height difference in a pair is between Max (182cm) and Nat (165cm) with a full 17cm difference.
Park Seo Ham (193cm) and Park Jae Chan (177cm) are in second, tied with Ohm (186cm) and Fluke (170cm) at a 16cm difference.
I already have a list going to make a Part 3 of this so if you have any more pairs you want added please sound off and let me know :)
