Netflix’s “The Boyfriend” Contestant Might Have Spoiled An Endgame Couple A While Ago
Lately, many netizens have been tuned in The Boyfriend, Japan’s first gay reality dating program.
Differing from other dating programs, The Boyfriend also includes an overall objective for the men participating — running a coffee truck.
The reality series follows nine young men in search of love and friendship as they spend a summer living together. Each participant arrives at their new home — a beachside abode called the “Green Room” — with their own unique story to share. But the group has one thing in common: They are all attracted to men.

So far, viewers have enjoyed meeting the many contestants of the show, and being introduced to new ones as the program as progressed.

However, in the latest episodes, the two men have had experiences with other contestants, putting fans’ belief they are endgame in doubt.

However, one netizen has pointed out that the couple’s possible status as endgame might have been spoiled months ago!
An X user shared that Dai liked a post talking about the couple before the show had even aired. The commenter stated that they were rooting for DaiShun (the two men’s couple name).

The comment is shown as being two weeks old, meaning this is possibly a pre-show spoiler! Other proof found by viewers includes a shipping video liked by Dai.
