FORECAST's Deleted V-Live Could Lead To Another Gay Scandal?
May 19th 2017
FORECAST was previously known for their livestreams that took place much more often than many other groups. However, fans have been noticing a slow down in the amount of times the members go live, often without the whole group together. On Monday (5/15) Hyunwoo stated that they would have a livestream for label mate F.O.X's birthday, yet more than half of the livestream didn't mention him. Many viewers didn't suspect anything until after the livestream a clip was uploaded by a newly created account on YouTube depicting the slowed down frames of a scene that the youngest member Chen had pushed the camera away from quickly - many describe it as FORECAST's next gay rumor.
After photos of Kaito and KSTM model Wonho were stolen and released, causing weeks of confusion and resulting in no clarification from either parties, the scandal lead the rookie group to be banned from performing on one of their music show partners, Music Trophy. Without a known date of when they could resume performances on the show, another scandal revolving around a different member would not help their case. However, that is exactly what is happening now.
Due to the "romantic" or "sexualized" position FORECAST leader 5UN and F.O.X were in, many are jumping to the conclusion that they are in a relationship, backing up such claims with other photos and records taken in the past which were previously used to show their close work friendship in songwriting. The main concern with many conservative Koreans includes the homosexuality of the incident, but many also cite the more than five year age gap between the two.
However, some fans that are more concerned with how the video will affect the artists' careers more than the "severity" of the scandal point out that critics of F.O.X cannot pose him with any sort of abuse of power on the younger using his age or title because"the video clearly showed 5UN in the more dominant position" (stated Kim Soonji in a popular comment on the video posted).
Other onlineopinions of fans stated the age gap and "brotherhood" impression given from both artists were the only two things stopping them from believing the two were in a romantic relationship.
Neither the company, FORECAST, 5UN, F.O.X, Music Trophy, nor any other official source has commented on thenewly revealed issue, but F.O.X has a radio interview on "Behind The Idol" tomorrow and is likely going to be posed with the question.
