Pretty sure this has been discussed before, but why do some midzys perceive every member is "gayer" than Yeji? If it's just because of the Paris thing I swear nobody's ever letting that go and it's been 4 whole years lmao. I'd like to see what's the opinion beyond Twitter. I know most midzys here think Yeji *could* be bi but that's a stark contrast with Twitter midzys. Are they stuck in this shallow mindset?
It's because it's the popular narrative created by the big accounts on twitter. You just need to go and check out who makes these rankings on there and all of them are he/hims who feel qualified to judge women's sexualities for no valid reason. And a couple of them just clearly outright don't like Yeji. The conclusion being none of this stuff is coming from anyone with any valid basis.
As for laughing, it would be a valid point of the woman didn't giggle at genuinely everything. I believed the Paris stuff at first too but after a couple of Itzy?Itzy episodes where she giggles at everyone from group members to the director to the staff, it's clearly her default setting.
Early on in Itzy's career where k "fans" called her derogatory homophobic slurs because of her relationship with a certain actress and then people uncovered some stuff from her school days which made the lesbian rumours run wild which in turn made the abuse worse. I think that scared her off quite a bit. She stopped engaging in initiating skinship and for a while even talked about wanting to become more girly. This happened before wannabe, so the big deluge of fans who came after experienced this phase which probably resulted in that mindset. But in recent years, I think she's slowly opening up more.
She's quite popular on the Asian side of queer fans and she flirts with unnies quite a bit according to fansigns vids from weibo and even the k side of twitter.
Op here. It's always nice seeing a midzy from the early eras. I've been a midzy since Mafia era so I admit there are some things I've missed. It's funny how that's the way kpop Twitter fandom behaves in general cause I can tell you in every fandom I've been in, it always happens THE SAME thing.
I didn't know about the lesbian school rumors! Would you mind sharing them? I think I vaguely remember reading something about it but that's it, if you're uncomfortable you can put them under spoilers.
As for skinship, I particularly never picked up on it and thought she was just uncomfortable with it which there's nothing wrong with. She could like girls and not like to engage in skinship and I see that as absolutely normal but of course the Twitter fandom doesn't, they're so used to seeing female idols engaging in skinship that if there's one member that doesn't actively engage in it she must be the odd one out right? It's a very shallow mindset because you also have the people that say that if a female idol engages in skinship they're just doing it for attention seeking and not because they really like girls, so ???.
I hope I don't come out too delusional with this, but I've definetely seen Yeji either 1.becoming more comfortable with the fact that she's tomboyish or 2.something happened in her life and that's where she started being tomboyish, and my reasoning for 2 is that i'm a Mafia era midzy so I've missed out on quite some content, and as time went by I decided to not to go back to content from 2019-2020 mainly because of laziness but also because she looked painfully young and that seems a little creepy for me.
But there's something we can both agree with this topic and it's that Yeji has exarcerbated on boyish mannerisms for the past 2 years. I was there during Mafia era and that side of hers was minuscule compared to now, at least in my eyes.
I think logically, as you said, it would make sense if those mannerisms were always there but somewhere along the way she became too conscious of them and decided to "hide" them and now they're stronger than ever because she clearly stopped giving a fuck.
Obviously (and thankfully) I've seen some lesbian Twitter midzys that have picked up on this one way or another. They won't tell you what tf they think her sexuality is in order to not seem delusional or to avoid getting ratio'ed so they'll just thirst over this tomboyish side of her period. Makes me glad to think i'm not some crazy bitch who's seeing things that aren't there lmao.

Twitter fandoms in general are cesspools with a few nice people scattered in there.
Anyways, the lesbian school rumour was that someone who was Yeji's classmate made a vague post talking about how she had a closer than "normal friendship" with another classmate and then some people who she was in a dance club with also added in their agreement. Yeji had also posted a note she'd shared with this friend on bubble and it was basically said "do you like me tick yes or no". And the rumours were amplified when this came to light.
I'm not fully aware of the exact fallout but it must have been bad because she didn't post on Instagram or come to bubble on her regular schedule while this was all unfolding.
Yeah, you're definitely not alone in thinking that she's gotten more comfortable in her own skin lately. And I'm glad because she got very quiet for a while. She also used to describe her style as "masculine" "tomboy" but then switched to "comfortable". But recently she started talking about it again.
da Can you post sources or something, maybe where that was discussed even if in korean ? Or when was the bubble thing posted?
The bubble note was posted on pretty much all the Itzy bubble accounts. You'll just have to scroll a lot. I will try to remember the date but it was somewhere back in 2020/21.
As for sources, I'll try but the discussion was all in fan communities, which you need to join and get access to see the post. They're sort of like fb groups. However I'll look to see if there's stuff from any of the public discussion boards.

Ryujin’s and Yeji’s ship name wasnt originally Ryeji. We had to change it.
Thats all im going to say about the last posts.
"we"
lol ok so there's a secret coalition a la free masons who knows the gayest secrets about yeji and now one of its members teases her knowledge on a low frequented lesbian forum. for what purpose? just spill the hecking tea
serious déjà vu feeling here. the "insider bait" it should be called.
That Ryeji anon isn't me, I really do not keep up with Ryeji like that so I really have nothing to tease there.
As for Yeji's gayest secrets, I would love to know them but I don't sadly. I was just in Korea on exchange right after their debut period and so was able to be involved in the k fandom then. It's not really a secret on that side, just something people prefer not to discuss nowadays because as I said it was a hard time for Yeji.
Most k fandoms continue to think of the i-side as "outsiders", so they try not to like anything bad leak out. Most k midzys will never post anything about the girls that they think harms their image anywhere where a lot of i-fans frequent. And I think the language barrier helped as well, because the initial post and then the note was all in Korean. So even if you actively follow Yeji on bubble, all you would see in a random note with korean text which bubble won't auto-transalate for you, and for someone like Yeji who sends multiple pictures and videos, it would likely just slip under the radar.
The point being I'm in no way an insider, like a fansite master or something, just someone who was exposed to the korean side of the fandom in Itzy's early days.
