On July 26, a topic titled “Yoo Ah-in‘s Instagram was special” was published on the Korean forum ‘theqoo’, drawing massive attention with over 82,000 views and 400 comments.
The topic in question attached various photos published on Yoo Ah-in’s Instagram account, including a photo of him laying on the ground with leg spread, a half-naked man, phallic-looking food, and a post of him buying lubricant and talking about opening legs.
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.
