As said above, why can't we just say this is "fanservice"? I mean, first off, I don't know these guys but I assume their a real band with real people dancing(?) like this, so it's not really "queerbaiting" because their storyline can't suddenly come out as gay.

And you know what? As a gay person, I think it's awesome. I'm sorry, I know I should be offended by fetishizing my sexuality but Korea is really homophobic. If two attractive guys are going to make gay stuff look cool on stage, I think that's great. Yes, I know it's possible that people can start associating gay with "not being real, just entertainment" (I lived in Japan for several years after all) but it's leagues better than screaming "EW HOMO" if two guys stand closer than three feet apart.

I am pro gay male fanservice, as long as they are doing it voluntarily and are having fun doing it. No regrets.

Yes, it definitely is fanservice. (At least some of) these guys know shipping and want to attract more fans by appealing to their fantasies. Especially SHINee is very famous for the pairings and the fans who have blatantly told the band about who they love together.

And I think, why wouldn't it be acceptable? What do any advertisements on the streets? Sell sex. I don't think that a "both-genre" band would rely on fanservice but because homosexuality in Korea is a taboo, it is really a scandal and creates new fans and gossip which then creates money for the company. The only concern is whether they do it willingly or forced. It's all about the image. Not as if they were actually gay (Although there has to be some in the mix).
