The Light Switch singer posted a screenshot of a YouTube comment under the collaboration music video that touched upon cinematography and portrayals of same-s*x relationships.

“I’d make him my fake boyfriend too”: Fans react to Charlie Puth hinting at Left and Right music video with BTS’ Jung Kook being about gay lovers
After multiple rounds of teasing, Charlie Puth finally released the much-awaited collaboration with BTS’ Jung Kook titled Left and Right. The song was about missing a loved one and how their memories continued to plague them even after getting a supposed love therapy.
The music video showed the American singer-songwriter at a therapy session, singing and thinking about his loved one - which fans believed was possibly BTS’ Jung Kook. Since the release of the music video, a chunk of ARMYs have commented that it gave them BL (or Boy Love/gay) vibes. It seems now that Charlie Puth has accepted this viewpoint too.
On July 3, the Attention singer posted an Instagram story with a YouTube comment by Brian Latimer. The netizen pointed out the incredible blend of contrasting themes, such as left and right, the colors green and pink or red as they are on the opposite side of the color wheel.
The netizen then added his “assumption” saying that he loved the idea of normalizing two men thinking of each other romantically. Latimer ended the comment with “I’m all for normalizing this,” right next to which Charlie Puth added a wide smile and sunglasses emoji.
The Instagram story has led many to believe that the American singer-songwriter confirmed the Left and Right music video to be about homose*ual lovers. They took to Twitter to celebrate and even pointed out subtle hints that had already teased about the duo being gay in the music video. One such hint was Left and Right releasing in Pride Month, i.e., June.
Fans even found an interview clip of Charlie Puth, where he went speechless after describing Jung Kook as “a very attractive human.”
Take a look at some of the fan reactions below:
Meanwhile, Charlie Puth opened up about the collaboration in a previous interview. He shared that he was the first one to approach BTS’ Jung Kook, and that it felt very “natural,” taking into account their years-long musical relationship.
Left and Right was a much-anticipated collaboration. The song was released on June 24, and it has already accumulated 75 million views on YouTube. On the day of its release, the song topped the iTunes chart in 93 regions.
