i think if they hadn't grown up in korea, things could have been different? i definitely don't think they've ever crossed the boundary of friendship, it seems like mutual ego jerking and somewhere along the line, they genuinely starting loving each other.
um, anon, when did i say there aren't? key said we're boys, so we can't be in a relationship, which means it isn't a possibility instilled in his head by his culture. if they'd grown up in a gay-positive environment or one where it was more around them growing up, maybe they would have turned out different is all i'm saying.
that's reaching, imo, but whatever, it's not like there is a right or wrong in this situation. i personally dont see that as some closeted declaration of love.
after i replied i realized that i could be reaching but it sounds closer to what he said than what you wrote he said...the issue is that there are probably things being lost in translation here too so it's probably better not to try to dissect their words when they might be saying something else entirely lol
while i would never insist that it is a closeted declaration and i think you could be completely right, there are things other than just this interview that lead me to believe that it could mean something. it would take me an eternity to try to explain though and it would probably come out as some convoluted mess so i don't know if i should bother. and i'll sound really delusional.
i don't have a problem with the quote, but the interpretation. it's not like i can disprove you, it's just my opinion/interpretation so don't worry about it, anon. you could be right for all we know.
i don't believe growing up in korea automatically means that they definitely haven't acted on whatever homosexual impulses they may or may not have had. i'm not going to say that i certainly believe anything about their relationship because i don't, lol, but i'm not going to count anything out just because the country they're from is predominately homophobic.
no, it's not their environment alone, it's their career choices, their ambitions, their personalities (to me). they might have for all i know, but if i really think about it, i'm not too convinced, they're just too aware of what it looks like and how to profit off of it.
this is fanservice ofc but if either one of them really likes men i'm sure they'd act on it because the entertainment industry is often more openminded
the entertainment industry is often more openminded
that's a pretty big generalization there, anon. but anyway, yes, it's possible. in how i read them, i wouldn't count on it, but of course, i could be wrong.
well obviously they're aware that shipping themselves makes the fans happy, lol. that's idol 101. ofc it's hard to completely separate what is real and what is getting played up for the sake of fanservice. however, i still think that *if* they wanted to or have pursued something further with each other, they would know both how to market their relationship and how to keep it private enough that they don't get found out.
but w/e w/e, not like we'll ever know lmao. i'm just happy that they give me enough material to ship away like crazy.
of course they could but neither of them seem like they would prioritize love over shinee? idk, it seems so unlikely to me because shinee are such robots when it comes to the mothership. also jonghyun so loves girls but who knows? they're cute though, and i love seeing them interact so i'm happy too~
lol true, shinee are perfect robots, but they all seem very adapt at separating their personal and private lives. i think they're able to compartmentalize what is professional and what is private. also i believe that jonghyun loves just about everything that moves, lol.
