First "Out" Korean celebrity on famous talk show, Healing Camp

Suk-chun Hong is the first out Korean celebrity.
After his coming out in 2000, he was banned from TV for 3 years.
But he survived it and became owner of many famous restaurant in Itaewon(one strict of Seoul where there are many gay places), father to his nephew and niece(he adopted his sister's siblings after she got divorced) and iconic figure in Korean queer community.

He appeared one of the famous talk shows, Healing Camp recently and shared his love story, the reason of coming out and how he dealt with the result.
He got emotional several times during the show but he also shared his experiences which many Korean gay people can relate to, I suppose.

Korean Bara artist, Unspoken

Another Korean bara arist that I came across at X (former Twitter), Unspoken . As you can see, he's very skilled in drawing and using colors and such. He seems to upload his steamy comics in Patreon from time to time. When I first found his artwork at Twitter, I thought he and Huntersmell  are the same person. ( Click  "Huntersmell" above to read my previous posting on Huntersmell. ) I detected some similarities in their drawing styles. But who can be sure? Thank that I have found another talented bara artist. That's what matters.

Newest comic by Jiraiya

I did not know till today that Jiraiya released his newest comic, Two Hoses, a story about two firemen, through Big Gym (in Japan) and Massive (in US). The picture above is from Big Gym (a gay store chain in Japan) twitter. As you can see, this comic seemed to be based on his previous artwork, which was used for several items. (I really love this artwork, even though I generally love his artwork. Actually I love all of his artworks.)  The 2nd image seems to be a promotional postcard. And the 3rd image is the US version of the comic. The image is from Massive.

Josman

Josman is a British cartoonist who published his works through "Handjobs" magazine which fulfills the readers' fantasies about affairs between grown-ups and young boys. Josman's very talented and skilled cartoonist. He usually tells affairs between family members which makes me a little uncomfortable. But I got amazed by the way he depicts the scene. (He borrows the style from American super-hero cartoonists)
