The BL or Boys Love has had a significant influence in the entertainment industry. Its abbreviation acronym is quite well known globally thanks to anime, manga or even series, its wide range of romantic, school, action or drama stories, have managed to captivate many viewers due to the different representations given to relationships between boys.
Japan: A Twitter user found a curious button with the initials “BL” in his hotel room.
The user @gurak shared a curious image on the X platform, where the caption of his post is “There is a strange button in the hotel where I’m staying now”, the acronyms that show those buttons are the letters “BL” which as mentioned above is the abbreviation of Boys Love and in case it is still not clear, you may know this word “Yaoi”.
It was to be expected that the comments made some mockery about what happened in the hotel in Japan, several of them say the following: “Here all the lights are on, it’s on the right!”, “You decide whether to attack or receive”, “Isn’t there an up and a down?”, “No matter which way you turn”, it is very funny how the Internet users had fun leaving their responses to such publication.
The humor of the residents of Japan certainly did not fail “Does the BL also tend to the right or left?”, or “Try to press it to see what happens”, were other responses left, including the following “What do I have to do. I can only think of it as short for BOYS LOVE. If you press it it will definitely come out your favorite right and left… (@wd) Hehehe…” which undoubtedly expresses all those we were thinking.
As you can see, several of those comments were left in double entendre to the person from Japan who initially made the post. There was even a user coming from a news source in Japan who asked the person for permission to use his post to create an article that talked about the “disturb button”, the term used generated several laughs.
Apparently these buttons are used to modify the light of the hotel room in Japan, but it is much funnier to think that the acronym “BL” was for something else, can you imagine running into one of these buttons in your hotel on your next visit to Japan, what would you think, no doubt the situation that this internet user lived is now a pretty funny anecdote, besides, would you believe me if I told you that there is a BL Motel?
That’s right, we are not talking about a hotel in real life, but one that belongs to a manhwa with the same name “BL MOTEL”, it is a very funny story that has as its main character Jinwon a 28 year old boy whose parents inherit him a hotel called “Ballantine Motel”, but its name is a bit long isn’t it? Or so our protagonist thinks.
The hotel needs a few repairs here and there, starting with changing the name to BL MOTEL, Jinwon is determined to make his business prosper, but why do so many couples of boys enter the hotel? Our protagonist has no idea, what is certain is that he needs a new employee, this is when Byul makes his appearance, a young guy who does not want to return home and is looking for a job, he also thinks that the boss Jinwon is gay?
A story full of misunderstandings, comedy and a couple that starts their relationship in a very curious way. It was impossible not to mention this play after talking about that image with the BL buttons in the room.
We can say that the term Boys Love has evolved and managed to reach many people around the world, so true is that the letters “B” and “L” are well known as well as its meaning. In this way it was possible to follow the current with the post published by the Internet user on Twitter, this kind of situations are fun and curious for the community, so sharing and commenting on them makes us all have a good time.
