A recent post on the popular forum Pann featuring a list of the most loved Korean male celebrities by gay fans has captured the attention of netizens, accumulating over 55,900 views and sparking a heated discussion.
The list, which seemingly originated from X (formerly known as Twitter), has stirred a variety of reactions from Pann users.
The list is topped by Son Suk Ku, closely followed by Jung Hae In. In a tie for third place are Ahn Chang Rim, Wi Ha Jun, and Lee Jun Hyuk. Other notable mentions include Nam Joo Hyuk, TXT‘s Soobin, Seo Kang Joon, SEVENTEEN‘s Mingyu, Lee Je Hoon, and Cha Eunwoo. Additionally, newer names like Shin Yu and Do Hoon have also made their way into the rankings.

— OP on Pann
Among the numerous comments, one user noted an interesting trend, suggesting that gay men often prefer celebrities with dog-like features, while lesbians tend to favor those with cat-like traits. Fans of Soobin from TXT also chimed in, sharing that he does indeed have a significant male fanbase, which was evident during events like Weverse Con.
However, not all responses were in agreement. Some questioned the choice of Son Suk Ku as the top favorite, citing his unique look and questioning his appeal. Others found it surprising that members of the rookie group RIIZE were absent from the list, considering their perceived attractiveness among gay fans.
- “It’s fascinating how gay people tend to like dog-like features while lesbians prefer cat-like features.”
- “Son Seok Koo has such a shady look in his eyes, and his facial features aren’t that great, so how is he number one? LOL. Also, isn’t it strange that none of the RIIZE members are on the list when they have the kind of looks that gay people go crazy for?”
- “I’m skipping Son Seok Koo as number one. Haha.”
- “At concerts, Soobin actually has a lot of male fans. Even at the Weverse Con, there were many. It’s similar to how women adore Jang Won Young.”
- “Do people really make this kind of list go viral?”
- “Soobin and Mingyu?? It makes you wonder if some fangirls are pretending to be gay and voting.”
