any guesses on the somehow? Cover art, maybe the author was vague about the guy’s preferences until the specific chapter they clarified or something. You are right, if the work wasn’t so popular, the controversy would be forgotten/overlooked. Considering the campaign, it may have been targeted at BL readers since the genre is popular nowadays
@Random commenter the author specifically said that one of the main characters was heterosexual and stated multiple times that she does not like the manhwa to be considered a bl or even a romance. the readers took the part where two guys had s** and made that the whole point of the manhwa where it was just ra**. they are feteshizing gays and its disgusting the misunderstanding that ks is a bl is actually really harmful and not only does this whole marketing thing destroh the reputation of a really well written horror manhwa but also the reputation of qu*** media in general. people thought it was cool and quirky to romanticise a serial killer sangwoo with a phycologically underdeveloped yoobum. at the end of the day its just a whole thing wiith feteshizing gays and romanticizing legit violence and trauma. ks was great in terms of the art, complex characters, and showed like memtal illness and trauma overall a really great manhwa ruined by STUPID A** FOJUSHIS AND MARKETIN
