2022 Korean Female Queer (Lesbian, Bisexual, +) Survey Results

I'm honestly surprised Moonbyul is only at 15. She even gave us a whole Shutdown

Comparing that list to my bias list..... a.. am I lesbian?

For me, I find bibi, yunjin, rosé, soyoon from se so neon and moonbyul to be my type. I feel like the range of variety for girls I like is much wider than guys who I'm very picky with when it comes to finding them attractive.

Seola always ranks high on these kind of surverys lol

actually Korean lesbians prefer femme looking lesbians based on what I've watched on some of their vlogs.

I'm surprised that Irene isn't higher she is usually lesbian's favorite girl lol

How is Yunjin so low?? LESBIANS EXPLAIN!!

No hope left for society when she is ranked that low

Well since there are less people in Korea voting for her that means a bigger chance for me

Yunjin come to London, the gays appreciate you here

Now, I will say that I don't completely understand the ranking. For example, can anyone explain why Seola and Bona from WJSN rate so unusually highly?

And why do some supposed "lesbian icons" such as Bibi (who literally kissed one of her female fans at a concert) and Sunmi rank relatively poorly?

I was also surprised to see Fromis 9 show up so much in the ranking, given that their fandom is notoriously male-dominated, and the group as a whole isn't all that popular. Can anyone decipher that one?

If this poll was taken not a long ago, or after the queendom 2 ends, then it would be the reason for why Seola and Bona rank highest, as Seola was picked as the visual queen even by the other participant in that show.
For Bona, it could be the queendom too but also could be her lastest act in 2521.
This might makes them as the recent or the hot trends?

That to be said that all of them is indeed had that visual.

I'm surprised Wjsn are ranked this high since (as a queer person myself, I'm not trying to generalise) in the international k-pop community, I see more queer people stan groups such as Loona, Fromis, Izone/ex Izone, Itzy, etc. So it's interesting to see them up there

I guess that goes to show how different queer standards are around the globe! How fascinating!

this. I have seen a youtube channel named SeolaLGBT or somethin

Quote from wsoet

Indeed. Like I can't see how she's ranked lower than, let's say, Luda from WJSN.

Well, I think there are another reason for this.
the same reason might applied to Eunseo too

its simple Korean lesbians like feminine girls there was a lesbian couple channel talking about their ideal type and they all mentioned pretty actresses and irene was the only female idol they liked and when it comes to Seola she always had that appeal even in queendom most voted for her as visual queen.

Seola has that something

Quote from wsoet

Well, if your bias list matches the trophy badges you have...

Haha, guess I am, only stuck in a man's body!

Literally all of my fave idols are on the list lmao. Even my biases from the groups I don't fully stan. Do you have a list of favourite female idols from straight males? For curiosity's sake

Quote from wsoet

Ah, so I see now that Seola always tends to do well on these sorts of surveys. But what I don't understand is: what is that something you refer to?

What is the secret to Seola's success?

Charm

I accept that K-lesbians prefer women on the more feminine side. But there has to be more than that. After all, why would they pick Seola over someone like Jisoo, who also skews femme and comes from a much more popular group? What is the secret to Seola's success?

Jisoo is not really that girly lol don't be fooled by her image but I don't think the pinks are that popular with the lesbians in Korea for some reason

Business as usual lmao (has Heejin ever been this high though?? ) BP and TWICE ranking relatively lower is always interesting too, obviously everyone is pretty and charming and I'd assume they'd have sheer numbers on their side

Quote from wsoet

Indeed, Bibi/Yunjin/Rosé/Soyoon/Moonbyul represent quite a variety! But now you've got me curious, which guys are on your list?

Off the top of my head I'd say dean and dpr ian are the only ones I've found attractive whereas others are just guys I find aesthetically pretty/ handsome but they're not my type. Which is different to the girls I've listed where I can confidently say I have massive crushes on them

Quote from wsoet

So now I'm wondering, among all the Le Sserafim members, what in particular would make Yunjin stand out to the lesbian gaze?

For me she just looks really confident in herself but not in a intimidating or mean way. Just that she looks like she knows what she's capable of which not only makes her stage presence great, but it also makes her really hot I guess

the voters have amazing taste. as a lesbian, personally I like yuju and kasper better but exy and luda >>>>>>>>>

i can't believe irene fell to #3. i am now an enemy of the gays.

3579 participants but 9280 votes should help you see a little bit. If people vote one group chances are they will select others from same group.

I did watch Queendom 2 in its entirety, and was surprised when Seola was chosen as the visual queen.

But I don't find the "Queendom popularity boost" hypothesis very satisfying, since the show doesn't appear to have helped many of the other contestants. For example, there's only one Kep1er member on the list, while Brave Girls and Hyolyn don't appear at all.

And the ranking can't just be about visuals either. After all, Tzuyu, one of the visual standards of the Third Generation, is absent from the list. Another visual standard, Jisoo, is ranked relatively low.

I'm still struggling to see what sets the idols at the top of the ranking apart from those further down the list.

I mean that, it wasn't about the "queendom popularity boost". It was about that poll when Seola was picked as the "visual queen" by another members and groups. It may have a connection to things that I would talk below...

Quote from wsoet

I don't find that to be a satisfactory answer though. First off, she's not the only charming idol on the list right?

And secondly, is charm really necessary? After all, the 3rd place finisher is Irene, who's generally considered an "ice queen" type.

....which is charm.
Yeah, just like you said, Irene may considered as an "Ice Queen" type. It's her "charm".
The same thing might happened with Seola, it just was a different kind of charm/type that we didn't know about. So I guess the answer is she had that "charm" for those people?

Quote from wsoet

I'm assuming you're talking about the "Queendom Popularity Boost" right? But again, it only seemed to apply to some of the members. Dawon and Dayoung don't appear on the ranking at all.

Nope, for this one, it is not that queendom thingy. A complete different one tbh. But the thing is I don't know if it appropriate to talk about that here? (perhaps talked this on PM?)

And, yes, just like you said the ranking couldn't just be about visual. But like I also said too, those in this list also had a nice visual.
