What kpop idols played LGBT characters?

As of now, I believe there are two idols and one ex-idol.

Edit: is Hoya still an idol?

Hoya. He played Kang Joon Hee, who had a crush on Yoon Yoon Je. However, the characters didn't get together. (Reply 1997)

Takuya. He played a character also called Takuya, who fell in love with his roommate Joon Jae. They did eventually get together. (The Lover)

Ex-idol Tao. He played William, a slightly.....overly dedicated?.....secretary. It was already suspicious, but behind the scenes he said his character was gay- they legit censored the word 'gay' lol that's stupid. (You Are My Sunshine) note: William isn't in it very much though.

I wish there were more, but that's all.

Hmm.. I don't know other idols. I'm trying to think of some but I can't cuz you mentioned them already.

B1A4's Baro acted in Reply 1994 but his character wasn't gay as far as I know. He did have a kiss scene with another male character.

Gong Myung, the brother of NCT's Doyoung, played a gay character and had a kiss scene in the drama "Futureless Things". This was back in 2014.

Because Korea is still not very open with LGBT themes, not many dramas feature gay characters. Even Hoya's character in Reply 1997 was a breakthrough character.
