I also think it's easier for Hanbin to come out properly to someone like Matthew, who is Canadian versus someone from Korea. Plus Matthew knew based on the interview question on who he would choose. Jiwoong or Hanbin. He said that not choosing Hanbin would be fine because he would still have Hao. The way he said that was in a way where he knows they were in a relationship, dating, or interested romantically with each other. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense since Matthew has known Hanbin longer and were close friends. Yujin referenced Hao as "mom" and Hanbin as "dad," didn't he? So the younger generation seems a bit more open minded.
