Thai BLs as K-Pop Groups

2gether = BTS
charming, super popular and if you love them you can’t understand why anyone else wouldn’t

Dark Blue Kiss = SHINEE
will fight about the heritage of the industry, has deep feels about production companies, but still can’t get over the chemistry

Gen Y = NCT+
adorable but totally confused by the number of cast members, no idea what’s going on or who’s who, but you love it anyway

Love By Chance = iKON
soft bois with retention issues, but you adore them despite everything

Love Sick = GOT7
chaos babies particularly popular in Thailand, hard to get into but very catchy

Make It Right = STRAY KIDS
Why are there so many of them? Why are they so rough? Why does everyone else in the industry love them so much? Why can’t I stop watching?

SOTUS = PENTAGON
angry hot old school classics that age really well

TharnType = BIGBANG
problematic but you love them anyway and no one can deny they’re banging

Theory of Love = ATEEZ
angst baby, plus they so pretty

Until We Met Again = DAY6
something different and you keep crowing about the quality of the performance and them being actual artists

Why R U? = EXO
confusing, you keep rewatching that one bit on repeat, you’ve no idea why you love it so much or how they keep going
Other BLs as K-Pop Groups

The Untamed = UNIQ (obvs)
one of the prettiest things ever to happen in the history of humanity, separated permanently by China

Seven Days = BTOB
been around forever, specializes in slow & melodic, no one seems to know about them, ABSOLUTELY holds up

Cherry Magic = TXT
sweetest babies, so very earnest, slightly confused at all times, still charms the pants off everyone

The HIStory franchise = SPEED
unbelievably fun to watch, catchy despite themselves, innovative and experimental, but what THE HELL happened at the end?

Color Rush = THE ROSE
so entirely not what anyone expected, unrealistically good, broke brains and hearts, should win awards but never will

My Day = CNBLUE
shockingly mature and charming with a few missteps yet somehow never caught on with the international market

To My Star = ONEWE
slow burn quietly in the background, hits where it hurts in the feels, suddenly sexy

Wish You = IMFACT (obvs)
mostly ignored but actually really really good and woke af

You Are My Boy = KARD
maybe a bit too outside the box for industry standards, but better than anyone had a right to expect

Light on Me = ENHYPHEN
Pristinely manufactured perfection that somehow manages to be so much more that its roots, and utterly charming despite planning by committee.

We Best Love = TAEMIN’s solo career
How is it so good and so pretty and so sexy all at the same time? CAN’T STOP WATCHING.
