Member Hoya of popular boy group INFINITE has given fans and
viewers of his sitcom quite a surprise.
On the most recent broadcast of tvN‘s ‘Reply 1997‘ which
aired on August 1st, Hoya’s character Junhee made a surprising confession when
he revealed the identity of his secret crush to Siwon (A Pink‘s Eunji). His
crush turned out to be not a girl, but rather a guy, Yunjae (Seo In Guk).
The script had hinted earlier on that Junhee is a sensitive
guy who seems to be able to empathize with the hearts of the women around him.
Having decided to reveal their secrets with one another, Junhee then revealed
to Siwon, ”Truthfully… I like Yunjae,” he confessed.
His confession came as a surprise to the viewers tuning in
for it is not common to see a gay character on a television broadcast in Korea.
Viewers expressed their surprise as well as applauded Hoya for bravely taking
on Junhee’s role with his idol image, stating, “I was totally blown away by the
surprise“, “No wonder Junhee could read the minds of girls so well“, and “That
must be a difficult role for an idol to take on, Hoya’s really something“.
To this, the drama’s production team remarked, “A lot of people
may be surprised with Junhee’s confession, but there’s more to come. Please
anticipate more unexpected turn of events.”
