Gay Star News was observant enough to notice that Kung Jin is a homosexual, thanks to one of Mortal Kombat X‘s cutscenes.
Spoilers ahead, folks: in Chapter 4 of the game, Kung Jin has the following exchange with Raiden:
“I can’t… they won’t accept,” Kung Jin says.
“They care only of what is in your heart, not whom your heart desires,” Raiden replies.
You can watch the exchange below:
The character’s sexual orientation was later confirmed by NetherRealm’s Dominic Cianciolo.
@bcharred I see people are picking up on the subtle exposition contained in Kung Jin's flashback. Glad we have observant fans!
