WARNING: This is one biased posts ….and totally my personal take on the subject so back off from running around preaching here!
Ever since I got into this kpop … I have inevitably experienced a series of cultural shocks … however, one of the major concerns was the girly men attire and often accessories that often some men were seen wearing!
Never have I forgotten the Singer Rain’s random pic while in US ..
and how it convinced me the reason … some American homosexuals have had approached him …
Then later Se7en’s LV bag!!!
I swear out of all the celeb guys he was the only one I doubted his stated sexual origin! But then I saw these too
But then agian saw this?
So after months of studying kpop and naturally getting adopted with all the odds … here comes a part .. I can’t get over it no matter how long I stay in this business…..
and that’s MEN WEARING LV BAGS!

Okay people it always occured to me why LV? i donno maybe it’s a cultural thing … sirously it’s not too manly brand for men!! i wish one of these days these guys will realize that! unless they have a good reason behind the story?! eh?! i swear when i first saw Se7en with his LV bag i though he is gay! but then i saw those pics and read this …
5. Why does he look like a girl?
Apparently, this is an actual FAQ. Stylists (from hair to clothing) play a huge role in a celebrity’s image so that could be why might appear feminine. Hey, if we were able to send complaints to all the stylists, we could avoid a lot of fashion disasters by now. Another reason could be that some people just happen to have androgynous features and there is no helping that. However, Se7en‘s recent comeback has a more mature appearance and has helped him evolve into a young, handsome man.
6. Is he gay?
If you have seen the Taebin (or Wheesung) & Se7en performances (or any other questioning acts), you might wonder about his sexuality. But rest assured, Se7en is straight. If you’re unfamiliar with Asian cultures, touching is a sign of friendless, not necessarily a motive for romance. If you see people display physical contact that you wouldn’t find as normal standards, then they are just doing it fun and displayed by celebrities it’s most likely for fan service. What’s fan service? It’s just something to do to please the fans. Despite the touching and skinship you might see between guys, Korea in general is homophobic. This is could be equivalent to America standards (of course there’s loopholes like doing it for publicity such as stars like Britney Spears & Madonna or t.A.T.u)
Please do not let this change your perception on Se7en. Despite whatever he does, he is STILL Se7en. Do not judge him harshly without thinking logically or giving him a benefit of a doubt. You do not have to agree what things he might do (whether it’s fanservice or taking risks such as acting or US debut), but hopefully you can respect his decisions and continue to support him as a true fan.

Here is a bonus!
This is how ur man will read ur text messages? … what’s up with that gesture?
hmm let’s say that would be him reading your texts only if he is not already taken!!!!!
To Se7en Fans next time please aim for that cell phone … it’s easier than carrying out those heavy luggages and worry about getting caught! LOL! at least with his cell phone we get to find the phone number to whole hot dudes in the entire industry .. Think practical …. What can you do with his underwear? and please handover the Taebin’s phone number here (since he speaks English) I’ll leave the rest for you!
GET READY FOR A NEW PHENOMENON – MEN HANDS BAG!
Tokyo Style Report: men’s handbags 7 Mar 2007
This is the way to wear it: PingMag model Keiji demonstrates the typical way of letting the purse hang like a ladies’ bag would dangle from a woman’s wrist.
…and what looks good on girls, might suit boys as well: gold!
Japanese boys like them in colour, too: a strong red is just the right thing for an afternoon walk along Omotesando…
… and a version to match the individual apparel.
Red is a must! Worn tightly.
Another way of playfully displaying your new pocketbook: with a soft grip, like you would hold your cup of Royal Milk Tea.
