It’s no secret that Leehom Wang (王力宏) and pianist Li Yundi (李雲迪) are good friends. After all, they performed together in January, and Leehom invited Yundi to perform at his sold-out concerts in April and September. However, the two friends were spotted spending more and more time together lately, fueling assumptions that they are more than just “friends”. Netizens were quick to label Leehom and Yundi as “Brokeback Partners” and even formed a “Leehom Yundi” fans club. Last month, Leehom invited Yundi to his house in Taiwan to play the piano for him as Yundi was in town for a performance. A few days later, they visited Amei’s (張惠妹) bar where photos of them looked like they were holding hands, adding further speculation to the gay rumors. When Leehom was seen spending over 12 hours at model Evelyn Lin’s (林筱筠) house a few days later, netizens claim that was a set-up by Leehom to direct attention away from his relationship with Yundi and used Evelyn as a cover-up. Leehom visited Beijing recently and once again, spent time at Yundi’s residence. Leehom uploaded a photo on his blog showing mainland Chinese singer, Tan Jing (譚晶) along with Yundi and himself. Fans then left comments on his blog asking if Leehom and Yundi had something going on, and Leehom’s management company responded promptly, “They are just good friends.” Leehom and Yundi Rumors Timeline January, 2012: Leehom and Yundi were invited to perform together at the CCTV Lunar New Year Spectacular April, 2012: Leehom invites Yundi to perform at his concert in Beijing September, 2012: Leehom once again invites Yundi to perform at his concert in Hong Kong October, 2012: Leehom invites Yundi to his residence when Yundi is in Taipei for a performance.

Awww, they'd make such a cute couple if it was true . But seriously, can't 2 guys in the spotlight just be friends and not labelled as "more", it's no wonder some straight guys even now are too afraid to be affectionate with each other without being labelled "gay"
