Publicly identifying as gay is rare among active K-pop stars, whose behavior is tightly controlled by music labels and policed by fans who expect them to have wholesome images.

    “ship real life people” what does this mean “to ship people”?

      It means thinking they should be together in a relationship (ship comes from the word relationship, I believe). This is a thing that people do a lot in fandoms for fiction stuff. Like shipping two characters together from comics or a TV show or whatever.

          We didn’t do that, the writers of Deep Space 9 did. We just like that they did. A lot.
