Reading and listening to this as a queer fan who has always struggled with her sexuality in life means the real world I’m legitimately about to cry about right now https://t.co/RI6QV3sgs8

Netizens highlighted the importance of Jiwoong’s speech in Bangkok, as Thailand is the first Southeast Asian country to legalize same-sex marriage.
maybe I’m exaggerating but the fact that he said these words in Thailand is particularly significant, and I think he said it on purpose in this specific country 🥺 https://t.co/b63tdcld5U

We all know that the main reason for the train of hate he is receiving is homophobia, but he doesn’t care and continues to support the LGBTQ+ community. He is so precious and the sweetest guy ever. https://t.co/adS0j7v7PK
