In recent years, many K-Pop idols or other celebrities have come out as members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

At the same time, some have also come out as “straight” either accidentally or on purpose due to fan questioning. For example, NCT DREAM’s Chenle has mentioned it more than once, admitting that he even thought heavily about it and understands why fans would think that.

Recently, another set of NCT members’ sexualities became the subject of some discussion from fans.
WayV recently made their comeback with “Vision Wings,” and have been promoting the release.
In their promotions, they have been more active on social media including a recent post using the audio “Boys” by Charli XCX. As each member winks, the lyrics about thinking about boys continue.

Though none of the members have officially come out as anything, be it straight, gay, or somewhere in between, many fans have joked about the TikTok’s contents as them “coming out.” This is due in part to WayV’s often strong skinship among members.
