Kpop idol's (gay) scandals!!

Actually some of you might find it creepy(I do too). But I'm literally a victim of this!! There was a online k-pop friend of mine , she once told me about two male idols dating . I was so shocked, (ノ｀Д´)ノ彡┻━┻. Like girl BFR!! (I don't disagree for the idols to be dating the same sex , I just hate the rumours). So then I checked it out on social media and it came out that there was one idol OF HYBE(not gonna tell the name) and one popular kdrama actor reportedly dating (it was fake)....I just wanted to ask about your opinions like why would people do this , and even if they are dating shouldn't you just give them a little privacy or somethin !??? ಠ ೧ ಠ.
