Here's a group I've been enjoying for a while, and not just because of the below solo songs, though they are the ones I'm posting today FOR POSTERITY because... Well, please watch (in order, for the story). What we have here are explicit (I mean 'clearly' not 'x-rated) m/m love stories acted out by the group members which is a huge deal and a huge risk for a group with a relatively small status and following. The songs are also beautiful and all on my 2022 Faves playlist, but the videos are...

Gorgeous. I am having an emotion. Multiple, even. Really hoping we get two more videos (for the two remaining group members) and a happy ending for this last couple!

I'm pretty sure Libido was where I first encountered them and the vid and the choreo sure were a mood (I am always going to appreciate little choking action so you know) but I have also enjoyed everything I've heard from them and seen about them as people. I'm particularly fascinated by KB who is a whole ass adult with a whole ass other life and career before he just decided that actually, never too late to become an idol. What a king. But also, I really appreciate the... idk, the maturity? Like a very different vibe to someone who essentially grew up as trainee then idol. But yes, with you on the validation as a queer viewer. Huge amount of respect to them.

KB was my entry into the fandom for basically the same reason (plus, we were born the same year, gotta support my same-age friend.) It's understandable that most idols don't have much Normal Life Experience given that most sink all their free time into studying singing/dance years before debut and it's so common to debut at 18 or younger. But I think it's a pity. Those few idols who were out there just going to regular schools and working jobs and stuff definitely have a different air to them (and perspective, I feel) compared to the others.
