well since i'm wrong about the influence of christianity in korea, answer his or her question “i have a question... sadly it is easy to understand why it is such a big deal in s.korea to portray a gay character. ... but why isn't it in japan?... i've seen big names playing MLs in japanese bls and not being bothered by it in promotions... but as far as i know japan is pretty conservative too... but maybe i'm wrong”
It's not porn, but the ligne isn't clear. Sometimes you don't need any contact show you to love someone. Some…
what a ridiculous comment, people have a reason to complain after all queerbaiting is a way to attract people to watch and earn pink money, and why did you link BL to a porn movie? do you call all heterosexual romance movies porn?
Impressive, how GMMTV got it right in the Sky with Nani, they have several crying scenes and none are awkward…
"As for Nani, I knew him since F4 but he didn’t have a big role so I was pleasantly surprised by how good of an actor he is."a lot of people have said that, sometimes it's a character or a script that makes a good actor stand out, but when you're bad there's no way hahahaha

IA Google Yes, conservative groups in South Korea have already held demonstrations against the LGBT community:
In October 2024, conservative groups protested outside the Ministry of Culture against the broadcast of the drama BL (Boys' Love) Love in the Big City. The protesters accused the production of “glamorizing and promoting homosexuality”.
South Korea has a strong Christian presence compared to other countries in East Southeast Asia, which makes conservative Christian lawsuits against the LGBT community more frequent.

New York Times - Now these prejudices are manifesting in a coordinated attack on young people’s rights. In a campaign orchestrated by South Korea’s powerful radical Christian lobby, anti-gay protesters have been working relentlessly to cancel a set of regional bylaws that protect schoolchildren and teenagers from discrimination on several grounds, including sexual orientation and gender identity.https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/28/opinion/south-korea-homophobia-christians.html

dear, I'm not discussing theology, I haven't studied this subject and I don't intend to, but in the pulpits in the television both of them are there criticizing gays, in the past they were the right of women of black ppl, they are institutions that are always wanting to intervene in people's private lives some more others less, and they don't like to be criticized, you are an example of a person who was bothered by what I saidsimple, uneducated, older people are highly influenced by these people, priests, ministers, etc.

protestant and catholic are the same thing, i know this because i live the subject closely, in relation to gay issues, even if it is a minority, but it is a noisy minority, the last demonstration I saw against gays in Korea had to do with religion, yes
i have a question... sadly it is easy to understand why it is such a big deal in s.korea to portray a gay character...…
It could also be because there are a lot of Catholics in Korea, and in Japan I think the majority are Buddhists or atheists. It's obvious that religion has a negative influence.
