Nickelodeon forced it to be not explicitly stated. Kids probably wouldn't even catch onto it. But the end of the series is Korra and Asami holding hands, gazing into each others' eyes, and going to the spirit world together
Writers confirmed it. And there were several other scenes with them being close and speaking to each other in a way that implies a lot of closeness and romance. I believe both blush at several points when interacting with each other as well
Like I said, it's not overt because Nickelodeon said no (and fuck them for that), but there were plenty of clues, and when watching knowing it's what the writers intended it's fairly obvious. Just a bummer that the studio didn't let them do what they wanted

Also nobody seemed to care that Korra was in a gay relationship with Asami, with Korra herself being bisexual
