kim jongin is such a tease. 😂 #kaisoo
today i learned that there was a gay couple in a 1st gen group that caused the group to disband and korean media isnt allowed to talk about them at all and they fled to the u.s. to be safer. i really hope thats not true but it sounds possible. when i learn things like this i feel guilty about shipping kaisoo because if they are real and outed their careers would be ruined just like them and they would be so unhappy. would would kaisoo blogs do if theyre outed, celebrate? it just sounds wrong...
This ask is a couple of months old. Hopefully you are still around anon. 😊
I am not sure which first gen group you are referring to. There was a group called K’Pop but the story of their disbandment is very different than you’ve described. The members were not outed but two members were in a volatile relationship together and their volatility ultimately created a rift within the group which caused them to disband.
They did not flee to the United States AFAIK. One of the members had a moderately successful career after the group disbanded. They performed as the group K’Pop as recent as 2019 2018 on South Korean television.
So moving on…if you feel guilty about shipping kaisoo it could be because you mistake people who are supportive of Kai soo as being the same as people want kaisoo to be forcibly outed. But here’s the thing: a person who is supportive and ships people - real or fictional - as a couple whether the couple be gay or straight is not doing anything other than being supportive of people that they think have chemistry and that they like to see together. Public figures are fully aware of shipping culture. There are companies that even encourage it. There are companies that do not. There are performer’s who play up fan service and there are performers who don’t. A person who would feel jubilant by the forcible outing of a couple or by publishing information that would forcibly out a couple is not someone who supports the couple at all. That is someone who feels entitled to have their suspicions confirmed. That is someone who cares more about what they want. That is a selfish morally superior person who feels that closeted individuals owe the world honesty without looking at what honesty would cost them. And personally I think it’s horrible of anyone to think that they are owed a concrete answer whether or not kaisoo are dating if kyungsoo or jongin are not ready to answer. Maybe it could even be that they are not allowed to answer because their careers and livelihoods depend on their silence. That is absolutely fine for them to protect themselves, their careers and their relationship. And really if it were harmful to them for fans to say, “oh we think they are together and they’re cute together” or for people to fly banners with Kaisoo and other couplings then their interactions would have been minimized as a signal to fans that ya barking up the wrong tree. And yea…we are all assuming but people can safely assume sexuality, not be shouted down and told they are problematic when it comes to heterosexuality and boy-girl couplings so folks should keep that same energy when it comes shipping two guys or two girls. We are allowed to speculate based on their interactions and their words. We aren’t forcing or projecting anything onto them. We are just speculating based on their interactions and words.
When it comes to fandoms who are supportive of LGBTQ+ relationships there seems to be such a negative narrative associated and maybe that is because shippers are stereotyped as forever-alone desperate losers who believe in strange conspiracy theories that fan fiction oppa as gay because they cannot handle it if he is into vagina cause he would never be into their vagina. So they inflate kismet mountains outta coincidental molehills and their ultimate dream is for the people they ship together to be caught inflagrante delicto and outed in the media so they can finally be happy together and yea, maybe there is a minority of disturbed individuals who salivate over those thoughts. But those people exist on the fringes of shipping communities. It’s unfortunate and immature.
People who ship kaisoo because they are genuinely supportive and just want them to be happy together do not want any harm to come to them and being outed without permission is harmful. I would feel sad for them and worried about them. The shipping/support community is very different from sasaen/obsessive stalkers. No one in the kaisoo community that I have encountered AFAIK invades their privacy and fandoms are not responsible for what Korean media choose to report. In South Korea people can be sued for reporting information that negatively affects a person’s reputation whether it be truthful legitimate information or a lie and South Korean media is prohibited from forcibly outing anyone.
Thanks for the ask. Hope I answered all of your concerns. 😊 (edited to add photo references)
How do you feel about kaisoo now? Do you think they are still together?
until my last breath. ☺️
and i do believe that they are still together. mandatory military enlistment is not a relationship ender.
let’s all collectively sigh and say, “awwww…”
eta: so that no one can accuse this account of misleading information the context is that OP requested the drawing of the bear and the penguin and jongin drew both. he did not have to follow the request and he did anyway. such cuteness. we love to see it. check out OP’s twitter thread
Thank you for saying what many us were thinking!
I think i know what you are talking about anon and you are one hundred percent welcome!!!
The way Jongin’s voice softened when he said, “because I miss him.” 🥺 Awww...

I miss kaisoo. 😩
Here I merged 3 videos of Jongin introduces himsilf in D1, D2, D3
If you all notice in D1 he wasn’t that enthusiastic and his eyes seem lost and not focus but after the concert start and he start singing and dancing his mood shifted and he seemed so happy especially after his amazing solo
We all know how Jongin love the stage and dancing (not more than he love Kyungsoo of course lol) but I think that help him to feel better and happier HE EVEN REMEMBERED HIS BASSWORD which I’m sure he never forgot but wasn’t in the mood to post anything
D2 and D3 he is happier he is Jongin we used to know that not mean he is now ok with Kyungsoo not with him but being around people and singing help him and I’m sure Kyungsoo happy to see him like this
It will be okay, I promise
Not to in any way pretend to be an expert on South Korean society, but I did a fair amount of study on the relations between North and South Koreas while working on my master’s degree and if you’ll allow me, I’d like to add some perspective on today’s news. For those of us who live in countries that do not require military service from all able bodied men, and in some countries men and women, the enlistment of South Korean idols can come as a shock which can pull up some surprisingly negative emotions. However, in South Korea, all boys grow up with the knowledge that at some point they will be leaving their regular lives for two years or so to serve their country and it is all very normal and expected. They know their fathers and uncles did it, and they’ve watched older brothers. cousins, neighbors, and school mates enlist and ship out. Everyone who is in a romantic relationship, is married, or has a family is prepared to be separated from loved ones during enlistment and is aware that everyone will be waiting right there for them when they get back. All the people who are left behind are prepared as well because it is simply a part of their culture and they gracefully make it work. Also, the perspective of what military enlistment actually entails is different from country to country. Just for example, I live in the US and there are military training bases spread throughout all 3.797 million square miles of this country. Here, if someone joins the military, chances are they will go to boot camp very far away from home and members of the US military are often shipped out to places all around the world. By comparison, South Korea is 38,691 square miles, 1% the size of the US and almost all South Koreans spend their enlistment domestically. In size, South Korea falls somewhere between the state of Indiana and the state of Virginia, so Do Kyungsoo and every other member of the South Korean armed forces are actually very close to home for their two years of enlistment. They are allowed to have visitors and they get leave time to go home. Kyungsoo might actually be able to spend Christmas or New Year’s Eve with friends and family for the first time in eight years because he won’t be required to perform on TV for events and holidays while he’s enlisted. The army might actually be easier on him than working for SM Entertainment has been. All that being said, if your concern with the recent enlistments of the members from groups like Shinee and BtoB, and EXO members Kim Minseok and Do Kyungsoo is the wellbeing of those individual young men, then hopefully this information will help sooth your worry for them and the ones truly close to them. It is important here to separate the celebrity image of these idols and the belief that their sole purpose in life is to entertain us or they are somehow personally a part of our lives in the real life because feeling anger or lashing out at these young men for doing their civic and cultural duty serves no one. Believe me, I am an ardent fan of EXO and after seeing them live two times, I don’t even know how it is going to be possible to arrange the choreography, music and singing without Kyungsoo in order to put on a concert. (Seriously, how is this even going to work?!?) I will also miss new pictures and video clips of both Minseok and Kyungsoo popping up on my dash, but instead of feeling angry and cheated, I hope the fans of EXO will recognize that this is a part of Korean culture that needs to be respected and I hope that any animosity directed towards Kyungsoo will instead turn into pride and support for him doing his duty for his country. 🤗🇰🇷💕👉
It’s so noticeable how kaisoo always sitting side by side in all Exo latest programs and vlive and that was sooo adorable 🥰
Bonus they even slept near each other ☺️

Kaiso*-ists can compete with dogs, bats and owls for they got ears as sharp as them. The person deserves an award for hearing what he/she did at .05 sec. I went and checked the vlive clip to confirm if it was rigged, it’s not.
I’m raising a toast to that soft voice in the background. God! I can’t tell you how happy I’m.
I found the clip on Twitter a/c @_dyongin . 😭💕💞
