Under the comment sections, most netizens share their belief that Yoo Ah-in is basically in a “glass closet” (i.e. being gay publicly without officially coming out), so the actor being accused of molesting another man did not come as a surprise for them.
Below are some comments from netizens:
- Honestly, who didn’t know that Yoo Ah-in was gay? Lol. They just didn’t say anything.
- Didn’t everyone know that he was gay for years? He even posted a lot of pictures of his lover.
- It doesn’t matter to me what other people’s sexual orientation is, but he should think whether it’s common sense to post obscene content multiple times in a place where minors can see it.
- Didn’t Yoo Ah-in himself deny that he is gay?
- The third picture is so disgusting
- The assault accusation was gay, so it was overlooked and passed over without any controversy. If it had been about the opposite sex, I think he would have been cursed at and an apology would have been written a long time ago.
