May I have your attention please....
Semantic Error's Choi Yoona is not Straight nor Bisexual, she is a LESBIAN!!

I saw something today and it baffled me. There's a post going around about a wrong translation and the translation basically stated that 'Choi Yoona used to like Jang Jaeyong'... I don't know where is this context of translation coming from, whether it is from one of the official international streaming sites or from who but NO. CHOI YOONA is a LESBIAN.
I tried watching the translations of maybe the questioned clip from both of the official international streaming sites and... GGooLL translated the clip not accurately and Viki's is just straight up wrong.
The clip:
Transcription of the clip:
주영 언니 새범이 Terry 그리고 신입생때 과선배랑 과CC 2달 그리고 너무 내 스타일였는대 나 그때 여자친구 있었어 못 꼬신 무용과 언니 스투어디스 언니. 내가 아는건 이정도.
Translation of the clip:
Juyeong, Saebeom, Terry, and there was that senior of the same department when he was a freshman they became the department CC (campus couple) for two months and then one from dance department, she was my style but I had a girlfriend at the time so I couldn't hit on her and after that a flight attendant. That's all as far as I know.
As you can see, except for 'Terry' which can be used or interpreted for a he/him name, can also be used as a reference for Jang Jaeyoung sexuality (bisexual) the other five(5) belong to she/her because of the designated '언니'
Below is also an excerpt from an interview with the Director, Kim Sujeong regarding Choi Yoona.
"I expressed my thoughts that when Yoona is with Jang Jaeyoung I don't want a male-female chemistry surrounding them but a more drier tone for them, and different from the original work (Choi Yoona's) lesbian set up was also removed. Seeing that (Choi Yoona's) screen time is short, setting it up will make the story longer so it was taken out but Yoona's actor (Song Jio) expressed that she felt it's a bummer (that they can't show it). Then I suggested to the actress that she can also come up with ideas (to implement that Yoona is lesbian) and she immediately threw some suggestions. I think we received amazing responses because we did it together. I am grateful for the actors."
There is not much of a lesbian representation in a kdrama or kbl so please I hope there is no more misunderstanding from now on. I pray for more Yoona's lesbian agenda to be explored on season 2 if there is a season 2 🙏🏼
