Sis, that's called "business yuri/yaoi"
It's actually an extended practice on asia's entertainment industry to flirt in front of cameras with close members of the same gender/sex. The reason for that is... It's kinda hot (?)
I'm gonna hide this explanation because it's kinda NSFW and my english isn't formal enough to make it pass as a serious article.
For everything else, @ravi2000 's comment on the matter it's enlightning at least.
they seem to be fine with Bl/Gl ships

So instead of feeling like some asshole robbed their idol, fans feel like they could fetishize those same sex relationships instead. Think about it this way, it's the same principle behind people finding either FFM or MMF threesomes hot: if your partner(for fans their idols are idolized partners... Yeah, kinda fucked up) is banging someone in front of you that it's from your same gender, it's kinda like you are watching them cheat on you... But if it's from the opposite not so much.
Disclaimer: Yes, I know NTR is a thing. If there's people that get off to that it's an entirely different matter.
There's nuances to that tho: Same sex male members cannot be as upfront in this flirting, because asia kinda has an obssesion with the idea of dicks being that "unpure thing" and that makes it canonically more gross. In total opposition to that "virginity" or more specifically the hymen is a source of pureness. Female members on the other hand can even kiss without everyone making an scandal, and if there is that might even increase their popularity... A lot of this blatant flirting might just be treated as normal banter between women by most people and nice shipping material for hardcore shippers.
There's more stuff to cover there, but if you are even reading this you already have the gist of it.
