I've been really and sincerely touched by them. I remember when they went viral on Twitter for "Libido" last year and some people were saying it felt queerbaity, which didn't jive with me at all. It was way too much risk for too little potential reward to be queerbait IMO, given how the kpop industry works and the current state of LGBT characters/themes in Korean media. So when they doubled down with Skinz and then started this even more outright gay MV series, I felt validated for thinking they were sincere with Libido AND as a queer viewer. I am used to living on crumbs, especially within the kpop sphere, so this be series really feels like a banquet. I hope their music reaches more people and they can get more recognition domestically and abroad.
