former SF9 Rowoon hated holding hand with Ahn Hyo Seop?
Former SF9 member Rowoon was invited to Jo Hyunah’s Thursday Night, the YouTube channel and had a talk about himself and his life. The program, ‘Jo Hyunah’s Thursday Night,’ is a program where the host Jo Hyunah and the guest drinks alcohol and win cozy atmosphere they talk honestly about themselves. Previous guest was, Hyuna and she honestly talked about her love, Yong Jun Hyeong and dragged attention. CLICK HERE for Hyuna’s episode review.
Former SF9 Rowoon and his episode drag attention, too. However in a bad way. People are questioning him as a homophobia. It started with a news article, which was summarizing the episode. The title was, “Rowoon, acting gay with Ahn Hyo Seop, ‘No Kiss scene, but hold hands…Didn’t want to concentrate at acting.'” Basically, it summarized well as it was all his words. However, it skipped some points.
The show had a part of subtitle that led people to interpret that he is homophobia. Rowoon was just pouring so-ju (Korean alcohol) in his shot glass, but the subtitle was added as, “The memory of day, craves alcohol.”
Without context, and seeing just those parts from the article, it is not weird for people to misinterpret. However, the missing context was, “Rowoon and Ahn Hyo Seop” are very close friends. So he was saying he felt awkward to act like a couple with his close friend. To make a show and the article little bit more spicy made a misinterpretation, and the image of homophobic Rowoon. But, he was feeling awkward as they were true close friends were the fact, not being homophobic.
