Please, no one ever tell South Korea how homoerotic it is, because then it will stop and then I will be sad.
For example, this video. Please note the pumping/thrusting gymnasium action that starts at about 0:35.
For example, this video, too. Obligatory sad heterosexual breakup story & brief appearance of the heartbreaker-woman at beginning, followed by 4 minutes of men giving each other longing looks while singing "it's you" (nuh-rah-ko).
For example, women holding hands with women walking down the street.
For example, my students putting their hands on their friends' shoulders and giving each other massages and running their fingers through their friends' hair. Casually fondling each other in ways that would immediately scream "we're a couple!" in the U.S. They do it most frequently when one of their friends is sick/has a headache. I generally allow the sick students to rest/sleep during class, and their friends will usually sit next to them and casually rub their backs or massage their necks/scalps while participating in class and/or diligently doing the activities I assign.
It's so cute. I love it. I hope no one ever makes these kids feel ashamed for the physical way they express affection for each other.

This makes me happy.
Nice to know that there are still places without rampant aphephobia.
