The K-pop community on X (formerly Twitter) stays very active every day. Millions of fans share their thoughts and opinions without filters. This often starts heated online debates. Something like that happened not long ago with a TV host and content creator. She posted a short video about K-pop idols. Many people reacted in a negative way for different reasons. Read on to know all about it.
Indian TV personality Sakshma Srivastav has talked with many K-pop groups before. She recently shared a post on Instagram. The caption said she hoped the content would not break anyone’s heart. In the video, she sits on a plane. On-screen text claims that girls go crazy for a certain hot idol while she secretly knows he is gay.
That is such a weird behavior 😶 and if I’m correct this person is journalist and then it’s also very unprofessional of her pic.twitter.com/snNWGDwMHN— poké⁷ ⟭⟬ ⟬⟭ |📀(ꪜ)🪞🥢 💙👨🚀🃏|🆓 🍉 (@bts_loml_0613) August 24, 2026
She did not name any specific person. Still, the post quickly started a lot of discussion online. Many people felt it was wrong for her to share such private information just for a video. They also thought the message suggested that knowing an idol is gay would make him less appealing to fans.
Fans said using the word ‘gay’ in that way felt strange. They asked what a person’s sexuality has to do with how attractive he looks. They also pointed out that the idol has not publicly shared this part of his life. Sharing it anyway, even without a name, seemed like a bad choice to them.
Others called the act harmful. They said revealing someone’s sexuality when that person has not chosen to come out is not okay. Talking about private matters without permission just to create content or get attention felt wrong to many. People noted that no one knows the full situation or what the other person may face.
