History Webcomic / WelcomeToRoom305

* {{Transgender}}: Yang Jooha's school friend, [[spoiler:Nami]]. He underwent TransTribulations: he became depressed after his family moved him to an all-girls school, came out to his parents, got beaten, and moved away with his brother, where he's doing fine now.

''Welcome to Room 305'' by WANAN tells the story of regular college freshman, Kim Jung Hyun, who ends up boarding with a friend of a friend, Kim Homo... who is also gay. Disliking this immensely, Jung Hyun tries to manage but after a day (and finding out how much Hom knows about him) runs away, only to have Hom find him again - telling him he's only trying to look after Jung Hyun as a favour from their mutual friend, Sung Joong Hyung.

!!''Welcome To Room 305'' contains examples of:

* FlashForward: [[http://www.mangainn.com/manga/chapter/98330_jung-jihoon-chuseok-special/page_3 The Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving) Special]] jumps about five months ahead.

* {{Transvestite}}:
** Jung Hyun asks Hom's female friends outright if they're men or women.
** Then there's Yoon Sung, who was rumored to be one and who Rose saw in a dress. Subverted when it's revealed that he has a twin sister.
* {{Transgender}}: Yang Jooha's school friend, [[spoiler:Nami, who became depressed after his family moved him to an all-girls school, came out to his parents, got beaten, and moved away with his brother]].

* HalfIdenticalTwins: Yoona and Yoon Sung, to the point that some people mistake Yoona as Yoon Sung in drag. Their hair colors are different, as are their genders, so they're clearly fraternal but the family resemblance is extremely strong.

* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: Yoon Sung and Rose are this to the point that one mini-story was about them spending so much time together bickering together in a friendly way that people thought they were dating. They aren't dating.

* {{Transsexual}}: Yang Jooha's school friend, [[spoiler:Nami, who became depressed after his family moved him to an all-girls school, came out to his parents, got beaten, and moved away with his brother]].

This work isn't a YaoiGenre comic, it was always intended to clear up queer stereotypes and [[GayAesop help heterosexuals try to understand queer people]]. (Apparently some viewers were confused).

* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Jung Hyun starts of very close-minded on all things queer. He slowly learns to deal and cope with all of it.
* QueerPeopleAreFunny: Jung Hyun and his friends make jokes about Hom and queer people in general.

* {{Transsexual}}: Yang Jooha's school friend, [[spoiler:Nami, who became depressed after his family moved hism to an all-girls school, came out to his parents, got beaten, and moved away with his brother]].

!!Tropes:
* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler: Nami/Mool Byung's father beat the crap out of him when he came out as a transman; apparently his brother was regularly beaten. The two brothers live together, far from their parents.]]

* TheBeard: [[spoiler: Mina is one to Hom, so Sung Joong would believe he was straight]].

* ButtMonkey: '''Jung Hyun'''.

* CampGay: Hom is mildly flamboyant. Double subverted, when Jung Hyun believes he is only acting gay as a joke and, of course, it turns out he was only pretending to be straight as a joke.
** On the other hand, Hom's friends say that they often forget he is gay and Jung Hyun slowly comes around to thinking on a similar level.
** He is also [[spoiler:pretending to be CampStraight towards Sung Joong]].

* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: When Yoon Sung accidentally punched a woman, people got very upset and he got kicked out of the pub. When his sister, Yoona, punched and bruised him to the point he didn't want to go out of the house, nobody batted an eyelid.

* {{Gayngst}}: [[spoiler:Yoona]] went through a lot of this due to [[spoiler:Yoon Sung]]'s rejection of them and they decided to stop being gay/curbing any interest in the same gender. Of course, pretending to do all of this made them feel empty and unable to cope, particularly forcing themself to date people they had no interest in - and constantly worried they would be rejected again. They come to the conclusion that [[spoiler:it's better to simply never date again because as scared as Yoona is of dating men, going over to the "lesbian side" is equally as frightening to her]].

* GirlOnGirlIsHot[=/=]GuyOnGuyIsHot: Discussed when Rose is introduced to YaoiGenre manhwa by Kyung Ah, who talks about how great the genre is. When Jung Hyun discusses how he caught his sister reading YaoiGenre manhwa, Yoon Sung comments how it's the same as men enjoying lesbian porn (which Yoon Sung watches) - Jung Hyun comments that both are equally as disgusting as each other.

* HeroicBSOD: PlayedForLaughs in chapter forty-three, when Yoona mistakes Jung Hyun as Yoon Sung's boyfriend. He flies off into space.

* MustMakeAmends: Jung Hyun likes to do this after he makes mistakes (which happens a lot). [[spoiler:His whole relationship with Sun Joong is based on the fact that Jung Hyun caused his leg to become useless]].

* NakedPeopleAreFunny: [[spoiler: Jung Hyun sees a nude Hom while "astral projecting"/lucid dreaming. The next morning Hom is strangely quiet...]]

* PetHomosexual: Kyung Ah's goal is to get Yoon Sung and/or [[MistakenForGay Jung Hyun]] to become her gay best friend(s) and is only friends with them because they're gay, which Rose points out is incredibly shallow.

* VitriolicBestBuds: Sun Joong and Hom in type 1. [[spoiler:It doesn't last after Hom comes out to him.]]

* YaoiFangirl: Kyung Ah (who also draws BL artwork) and Jung Hyun's little sister (much to his dismay when he finds her yaoi collection).

* TheInnerReveal: [[spoiler:Sung Joong]] learning that Hom really is gay.

* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler: Nami/Mool Byung's father beat the crap out of her/him when he came out as a transman; apparently his brother was regularly beaten. The two brothers live together, far from their parents.]]

** LadyLooksLikeADude: Yooha's friend Nami looked incredibly boyish in high school. If they hadn't mentioned it was an all-girl's school... [[spoiler: It turns out that Nami is a transman.]]

** [[spoiler: Does Yooha's friend Mina, who's seems to be a straight boy in a girl's body, count?]]

* {{Transsexual}}: Yang Jooha's school friend, [[spoiler:Nami, who became depressed after her family moved her to an all-girls school, came out to his parents, got beaten, and moved away with his brother]].

** Weird case with [[spoiler: Nami, who is talking with her/his "transsexuals anonymous" group after getting severely beaten by their dad. On the one hand the injuries are hard to look at; on the other Nami has very cartoonish tears and finds it almost amusing that their dad wanted a girl but beat them like a boy.]]

** LadyLooksLikeADude: Yooha's friend Nami looked incredibly boyish in high school. If they hadn't mentioned it was an all-girl's school... [[spoiler: It appears that Nami is a transman.]]

* ItsAllMyFault: Yang Jooha blames herself for what happened to Nami, her school friend (which has yet to be revealed).

** Jung Hyun and Hom after Jung Hyun moves back in again become type 1 as well.

* HalfIdenticalTwins: Yoona and Yoon Sung, to the point that some people mistake Yoona as Yoon Sung in drag.

* SymbolSwearing

* TheLadette: Yoona.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Yoon Sung is [[JerkAss rude]], has stated "I don't laugh and I don't have friends", [[HotBlooded quick to anger]], [[MyNameIsNotDurwood can- or will not remember anyone's name]], and has no problem with stealing money from a lost wallet (after Rose yelled at him he reduced it to a "10% finders fee"). He's also [[spoiler: deeply ashamed for mistreating his sister when he accidentally learned she was a lesbian and as a result of trying to understand her he's also]] the only straight person in the cast who learned more about alternative sexualities (these ''college students'' don't know what "transgender" means), and has enough sense to [[spoiler: prevent Jooha from accidentally outing her long-lost female-to-male transgender friend in a crowded hallway]].

* MyNameIsNotDurwood: '''Yoon Sung.''' He's either got a really bad memory or (most likely) he just doesn't care. He calls the woman in chapter sixteen (Yang Jooha) by the wrong name, subverting a generally sweet scene. He also can't get Jung Hyun's name right, referring to him as Joong Hyun and then Hyun Joong. Later he and Rose see that girl he once elbowed in the face (paraphrased):
--->'''Yoon Sung''': This is Jooha's locker.\\
'''Rose''': Look, it's ''Yooha''!\\
'''Yoon Sung''': Hey Jooha!

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Yoon Sung is [[JerkAss rude]], [[TheMisanthrope has stated "I don't laugh and I don't have friends"]], [[HotBlooded quick to anger]], [[MyNameIsNotDurwood can- or will not remember anyone's name]], and has no problem with stealing money from a lost wallet (after Rose yelled at him he reduced it to a "10% finders fee"). He's also [[spoiler: deeply ashamed for mistreating his sister when he accidentally learned she was a lesbian and as a result of trying to understand her he's also]] the only straight person in the cast who learned more about alternative sexualities (these ''college students'' don't know what "transgender" means), and has enough sense to [[spoiler: prevent Jooha from accidentally outing her long-lost female-to-male transgender friend in a crowded hallway]].

* TheMisanthrope: Yoon Sung. He doesn't laugh, he doesn't have friends, he doesn't seem to care to remember other people's names, the only person he ever liked was his sister (and he treated her ''terribly'' when he found out she was a lesbian), and he mocks Yooha/Jooha for being naive when she thinks her two other friends will accept [[spoiler: their third friend being a transman. He's wrong -- one of them does and he realizes he shouldn't jump to conclusions about people]].

* {{Homage}}: The art style is similar to ''ScottPilgrim''.

** LadyLooksLikeADude: Yooha's friend Nami looked incredibly boyish in high school. [[spoiler: It appears that Nami is a transman.]]

* TheMisanthrope: Yoon Sung. He doesn't laugh, he doesn't have friends, the only person he ever liked was his sister (and he treated her ''terribly'' when he found out she was a lesbian), and he mocks Yooha/Jooha for being naive when she thinks her two other friends will accept [[spoiler: their third friend being a transman.

** Then there's Yoon Sung, who was rumoured to be one and who Rose saw in a dress. Subverted when it's revealed that he has a twin sister.

* GayAesop: Jung Hyun's hypocritical and homophobic behaviour hits him pretty hard in chapter 12 when he wonders why Hom is acting strange around him after he pretends to be gay.

** [[spoiler: Nami]], a friend of Yang Jooha's, [[spoiler:is apparently a transman who was deeply depressed in high school after her parents sent her to an all-girls school.]]

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Yoon Sung is [[JerkAss rude]], [[LonersAreFreaks friendless]], [[HotBlooded quick to anger]], [[MyNameIsNotDurwood can- or will not remember anyone's name]], and has no problem with stealing money from a lost wallet (after Rose yelled at him he reduced it to a "10% finders fee"). He's also [[spoiler: deeply ashamed for mistreating his sister when he accidentally learned she was a lesbian and as a result of trying to understand her he's also]] the only straight person in the cast who learned more about alternative sexualities (these ''college students'' don't know what "transgender" means), and has enough sense to [[spoiler: prevent Yooha from accidentally outing her long-lost female-to-male transgender friend in a crowded hallway]].
