July 18, 20233 yr Popular Post After conquering first Japan and subsequently Thailand and Taiwan, movies in the BL genre are now popular in more homophobic South Korea. The following CNN article tells of a South Korean singer and actor Park Jae-chan who had had very limited success in the world of K-Pop. His group was only selling 1,000 copies of their latest albums during their first weeks. Then Park was approached to play a lead in a BL movie. "Semantic Error" became a huge streaming hit and was later seen by 60,000 in Seoul cinemas. Park became so popular he was featured in more than a dozen major magazines including the Korean versions of Elle and Cosmopolitan. His latest album sold 100,000 copies in its first week.
