Respect (yourself and others) and diversity are topics related to queerness since ever. Because we are singled out time and time again, Yongsun is often described as a weird person, being that because she's gay or just because she's her, doesn't remove the fact that the main topics of her album and songs are of course related to what we experience as gays. We're misfits, most people don't understand us.
If you think gayness is only fun and vibrant colors, I don't know, you're lucky and good for you, but for people of Solar's age life has never been easy when you're the weird one in the room. Whoever saying this isn't true is of course part of the "normal" ones and probably het in this place, so let that sink in.
I legitimately laughed reading this shit. So quick to make everything gay, touch grass. This is why some of you start crying and throwing up when a female idol is revealed to be dating a guy. Too many times homosexual tendencies are forced on them by fans, and then you delude yourself into believing it's a fact. You've somehow convoluted everything to be gay (happened with K@rina, H@n So hee etc). I hope you at least stretched before that reach.
da surely you can see that reading gay subtext into a song, film, video, etc is completely different than seeing someone's picture on sms and assuming they're gay? not to mention entirely valid? probably not, as "Too many times homosexual tendencies are forced on them by fans" sure has a whiff of het troll about it
You can call me a het troll all you want. The fact of the matter is kpop fans as a whole do this. They slap gay on every idol for whatever they think makes them gay (the way they dress, speak, treat others etc) and then they're all Pikachu surprise meme when they're out with a man.
There's nothing wrong with subtext, but to call the whole album gay coded with your whole chest is a crock of shit. You can say that "being yourself" and "rebirth" can be about sexuality. However it can be a whole lot of things that have nothing to do with sexuality. Don't sit here and act like you're in the room with Solar throughout the album making process.
Da i have a question for some people. When has Solar never unapologetically been herself? This is the same woman that did a pole routine at award shows and on YT, does challenges on her YT channel that female idols or male idols would never do, she has artistically always done what she wanted to do. Why do people act like she's been kept in a box?
Before 2018 she wasn't herself artistically, she started showing her personality in her art slowly, of couree now in 2024 you can't appreciate the change, but it was a whole long ass process. You probably wasn't there to see it. Watching Starry Night Yongsun and Rude Boy Yongsun for the first time was a whole life changing event. You don't understand the shocking situation that was.
You're trying to look in her persona from a present perspective, but it's more than ten years of work in process.
In the past she really suffered a lot, acceptance of who she really is was a long journey. And I think it can also means sexuality, because a big part of her change was her liberation in terms of being unapologetically sexy. I think it can be gay coded, yes, it fits. Does it mean she's 100% gay, no, that's why it's coded.
Context is important, there's a lot of history beyond their current versions. Their present doesn't erased their past, their struggles and who they were and lived.
