While they are not the only idols to have friendship tattoos, fans recently felt uncomfortable with another star’s reaction.
San and Wooyoung recently appeared on former M.I.B member and TV personality Kangnam‘s My Neighborhood Friend Kangnami to promote the group’s recent comeback.

Calling a friendship tattoo weird when you don't even know them or the bond they have is crazy…. https://t.co/liQtziYMZf

The implication that the two men would only be so close if they were romantically involved is an idea often found in toxic masculinity. Toxic masculinity is a concept that emphasizes harmful ideas of what it means to be “manly,” i.e. not showing emotions, violence, misogyny, and homophobia.
Toxic masculinity can affect mental and physical health in many different ways.
Others thought it was outright homophobic, especially with how Kangnam made a “disgusted” face at the thought.
he was being weird and kinda homophobic for insinuating that in a WEIRD WAY bc he thinks men cant be friends https://t.co/1XbUjka8N9
