The incident happened in the wee early hours on May 17. Baek was hanging out at a 24-hour sauna in Seoul. At around 3 a.m., he entered a room to perform oral sex on a man who was napping. When the man awoke, he reported Baek to police, who later arrested him.
According to authorities, Baek told them he’s “not gay” and that the whole thing was a drunken “mistake.”
How about we take this to the next level?

“The suspect molested the victim by touching and sucking his genitals multiple times,” police told media, “and also touching and licking the victim’s chest, making him feel sexually humiliated against his will.”
This is not the first time gay rumors have swirled around the 45-year-old celebrity, which he has always denied, calling them “shocking” and “nonsense.”
Though there are no laws against same-sex sexual activity in South Korea, the stigma surrounding homosexuality still prevents many LGBT Koreans from living openly.
Police said they plan to send Baek’s case to a prosecutor.

I’m sure he is as confused how that penis got in his mouth as anyone.
Come out, already. Everyone already knows.

He’s not gay because the poor guy didn’t finish! If the climaxed happened then he can be considered gay! Lol

Now he’s got bigger worries than maybe being gay, that’s rape.

Stop judging. It’s very possible he slipped in the sauna and wound up mouth open on some guy’s dick.

This is as deep as denial can possibly get.

Well you know the old saying, if it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck… worse case of self repression.

A lot of straight-identifying men will have sexual relations with men. It might not be their priority but, when women are absent and they’ve had a bit to drink, they let their guard down. Their shame dissipates. Then, they have sexual relations with men.
This is why it’s ridiculous to divide men into straight and gay. It’s not a realistic division in terms of describing most men.
You need to remember that shame is a BIG factor in controlling how men behave sexually. For liberated gay men, the shame has been overcome. For men who identify as straight, the shame is imposed by their peers and by women.
Straight-identifying men have same-sex fantasies all the time. But they don’t usually state it or show it unless they are in a frame of mind which allows them to put their shame to one side. If women are absent, it makes it easier.

@jason smeds: “…It’s not a realistic division in terms of describing most men….”
Actually it is. You just can’t pick and choose based on “shame” or convenience. If you are attracted to the same-sex shame or not, with a woman or not, you are homosexual or bisexual – period, the end!!!

Straight guys are easy. Give them a couple of beers and see for yourself.

“Gay” is an item of identity and not something that another can impose.

@jason smeds: Blah blah blah. The creep accosted someone while they were unconscious.
No surprise tho finding you acting the apologist. You’ve pretty much confessed that this is your modus operandi.
