Seoul Mayor Park won-soo spoke with the San Francisco Examiner last week saying that he wants wants same-sex marriage in Korea as first in Asia. As Park is a possible presidential candidate for the 2017 elections, I hope he can stand by this conviction. This is definitely the biggest news from this week.
In pop culture, more celebrities are talking about the fact that they aren't gay in response to SNS rumors. Naver News (Korean) has a couple of articles about Seo Tae-ji Responding to a Revival of Gay Rumors. One of these times, I hope a celebrity confronts these rumors with an affirmation... (but hopefully it isn't Seo Tae-ji as he has a wife and daughter). And in television, on Apgujeong Midnight's Sun Song Won Geun's character thinks his brother's gay (Korean). Finally, Green Light, a film showed at the Gays Are Coming Soon 3Some, got buzz as it used Baekhyun and Sehun as character names (Exo members).
