Trivia[]

  • Seven's teasing about Jumin being gay in the common days of Deep Story became popular in the English speaking fandom as a meme, often associated with "Does Bruno Mars is Gay?" . However, it created a huge discomfort in the Korean fandom due to homosexuality still being a highly sensitive subject besides raising LGBT concerns due to Seven's persistence in "outting" Jumin. In late 2016, Cheritz changed "gay" to "wizard" in the Korean version, but left gay in the English version.
    • The Spanish version, likewise, still uses gay, since it's often a direct translation of the English version.
    • Due to its immense popularity in the west, Cheritz made a t-shirt based on the popular meme, despite the disapproval of the Korean fandom.
