Gimme the neul reactions to gmg analysis! I love watching the jebis reactions, gyub is always laughing so I don't get much from him and both bin and rik, even though for different reasons, try to keep their faces controlled but neul is just a buffet of reactions. (if you wanna talk abpu the others I'd love to read that too!)

+1: Your analysis of Neul's thoughts on gmg????? Yes please and thank you

YAY! Hehe thank you for indulging my shameless request for someone to ask me this dflskfhskdfjhs I have been sitting in wait for this opportunity... and a suggestion to do all the other members omg ok I'll try my best...

ZH:
Neul's reactions I consider to have the most significance out of all the members due to his own experience as a queer male who has also been a fan of BL himself LOL like I just think he only takes or shows a certain level of interest when it comes to members being a certain way with one another that goes beyond fan service. I've found the way he interacts with and responds to GMG since as early as like October last year to be, well... important? I just feel like due to his lived experiences, his perspective in particular holds a special kind of weight to it and that he wouldn't interact with gmg when they're together in the way he does if he didn't think there was some sort of romantic energy there to begin with. I also want to clarify that I am a bnb believer, so some of my take is influenced by that.

Starting context is important so: around the time that a lot of gmgers started appearing (October 2023), was the same time that I think Neul took an interest in what was going on between them too. Also remember! Neul and Geon had been roommates all this time up until like, last month when they all got their own rooms. So there's a certain level of insight that you get when you're sharing a room with someone because it's just unavoidable that you end up talking about stuff! First we have the Good Times Episode where Geon admits to needing to hug Maet every day. Neul's face here is so funny to me cause he was eating that shit up like... his fudanshi heart was enjoying it just as much as we were. It's also very important to remind people that the iconic airplane headpat moment was filmed by Neul in his vlog back in October. A moment that is still considered one of the most intimate gmg moments caught on film by gmgers was filmed BY NEUL! Like bro! That is crazy!

I think from then on, Neul had noticed Geon's crush on Maet and was enjoying watching/seeing how the whole thing was going to play out, as well as being there just to lend an ear if/when Geon needed him. This theory is supported particularly by the chaos surrounding Maet's birthday live messages where Neul wrote a message to Maet saying how he wanted Maet to kiss him, which Maet then thought was from Geon and got confused by the use of 'hyung' but STILL assumed it was from Geon because of it's contents. This was at the same time that Geon had admitted he was playing hard to get with Maet, so I truly believe in my heart that Neul conspired with Geon to write his birthday message with the purpose of messing with Maet. Which is evil and hilarious. This in addition to Geon's birthday gift to Maet being DESIGNER UNDERWEAR? Which I think he bought with the advice of Neul, considering Neul also bought Bin underwear for his birthday a few weeks later. So I really think Neul has been aware of what's been going on with gmg from the get-go and that he ships them just as much.

Then at yesterday's concert he was absolutely EATING UP the gmg ment where they were talking about how much they meant to each other, and the fact that he then started singing THE WEDDING MARCH behind them when they were hugging? Like okay. Yeah okay. Thanks Neul. Good to know where you stand.

HB:
Bin is very interesting when it comes to GMG, for a while I think he was cautious and worried for them. There were a few moments where he would panic at their actions and kind of play it off/dismiss what was going on, such as the hilarious 'are Gunwook oppa and Matthew oppa dating?' moment where Bin played it off very cooly and made jokes about dating Jyung and them getting caught 😭 or when he's come between them very subtly like in the skoolooks video when they were just getting a bit too cuddly on camera. I think as leader and best friend of Maet, he wanted to give it time and make sure they were actually for real and not just messing around before letting things go too far, so he would intervene when he felt like they were being overly affectionate, but that now he's just completely given up LOL partly because I think he wouldbe a hypocrite himself to do so with his own stuff going on with Neul, and also because since it's been like a few months now, he can see that whatever's going on isn't just a quick fling for fun and that they do care for each other, so he's happier to step back. I think he continues to be amused but also worries because, well, that's his job bless him.

TR & GV:
Putting these two together because they're reactions are pretty similar. Basically exasperation and amusement. But mainly exasperation. We have Tael who previously was the one to make the 'just date already' comment and we have Gyub who is just sick of their shit LOL I'm exaggerating but in the fankit video he was the one who covered Yjn's ears before Maet did his confession because he felt it wasn't appropriate for his age 😭 which is just 😭 ok 😭 most of the time they're both pretty neutral, I just think occasionally they like to make fun of gmg's very open and loud affection for one another.

RK:
A NEW CHALLENGER FUDANSHI HAS ENTERED THE RING! lol jk kinda but yeah, before he was just kind of like Gyub and Tael where he was pointing out that they make others around them awkward w how much they hug i.e. talking about their elevator hugging in the hello82 video. But more recent events (yesterday's ig live) show that he himself has become a gmg shipper LOL the way he was making the x motion when Maet was whispering in Jyung's ear and tin hat moment I am not saying this for sure bc I think it's very ambiguous made a slight motion towards Geon with his thumb like he was calling Maet out LOL

YJ & JW:
Also fellow fudanshi/supporters. Still think it's HILARIOUS that Yj read out that date comment on that live in response to Jw asking him to read out a comment, like talk about being a chaotic dongsaeng 😭😭😭 But yeah, generally speaking they seem amused and enjoying, usually tend to have a small smile on their face if they're watching/noticing the interaction but they're both kings of being away with the fairies so half the time I don't think they even notice LOL It was very cute in yesterday's concert the way that as soon as Geon said 'my man', Jyung instantly pushed Maet/indicated for him to go to Geon with a big grin on his face.

I just love how all the members know that whatever those two have going on, they're very close and supportive of it! πŸ₯ΉπŸ’–

So yeah! That's my unnecessarily long analysis of how the members have responded to gmg just from my limited memory bank. If people have more things they want to add I'd love to hear! Bc honestly when gmg are interacting my eyes get so glued to them that I sometimes miss out on how other members are reacting... thank you for the question I had lots of fun with it <3
