The photos attracted attention online.
Koreaboo
Korea may still have a rather conservative attitude towards sexuality, but LGBTQ+ characters are becoming more and more mainstream with top stars and idols taking on the roles.
WJSN Yeonjung‘s kiss with his co-star attracted attention.
Lizzie is a musical based on the true story of Lizzie Bordenin 1892 in America, premiered off-Broadway at the Living Theater in New York.
It was performed in Korea and during the last shows Yeonjung performed once again Alice, Lizzie’s love interest in the musical. It’s explicitly WLW (women love women) and includes kissing scenes.
Yeonjung has played Alice in the past, but only the photos show the bond between the female characters rather than actual intimacy.
The show recently came to an end and Yeonjung shared some photos from the show.
Lee Bom So Ri (who plays Lizzie on the show) also posted some photos, but the ones of her with the character Yeonjung attracted attention, showing the chemistry between stars.
In particular, a photo of their kiss attracted a lot of attention.
Netizens shared their reactions to the photo, which unsurprisingly started to gain a lot of attention.
