A'ST1's Haiming on BOF

Sooo...what's going on in episode 14 of KBS2TV Boys Before Flowers? Anyone who saw the last fifteen minutes or so noticed a new fruity face. The new character is questionably possessive over Ji Hoo. YouTube comments are all about how this guy might be gay...or more like how obviously gay he is. The question is: is he or isn't he? More importantly, is this another love interest on this show? Like we need more love connections. This Ming character comes bounding up to Ji Hoo for a waist-to-waist-touching hug. A big no-no in the man world. Kim Hyun Joong looks authentically freaked out. More great acting. After the hug, the two have a quick conversation that sounds like two robots talking to each other. Then there's more weirdness when Jandi uses a seemingly harmless mug and new guy flips out, snatches the mug out of Jandi's hand. He tells her only Ji Hoo can use it (because there's a picture of the two "boyfriends" on it) and begins to "rub" the cooties off his precious mug. So who is this fruity pebble? The actor is Haiming of DSP's A'ST1, a six-member boy band that debuted last April. Yes, he's somewhat cute, crazy tall, and speaks great Korean. If this guy is acting, he's doing a great job. If he's for real, he's freaking everyone out. Watch the cup freak out at 2:25 and give a good reason for a dude to act like that.
