oh damn. i didn't expect this.

good for him!

[msgrottesca.livejournal.com]

suck it, edward avila!!!

[rainstormraider.livejournal.com]

What did he do?

[msgrottesca.livejournal.com]

went on a lil rant in relation to Holland about ~~~gay ppl need to stop shoving their sexuality down people's throats and ~~~everyone doesn't have to like gay people. He's pressed that Holland is the kpop's breakout struggle vocal twink and not him lbr.

[rainstormraider.livejournal.com]

JFC this dude remains the worst.

He can't sing, he can't put on foundation that matches his skin tone, he can't keep him mouth shut about his obtuse opinions.

[msgrottesca.livejournal.com]

There's just so much self hate there - between this "STOP THE GAY AGENDA!!!" shit and his constant degrading comments about his Filipino features (like how he always says his "ugly Filipino nose" etc). He's a goddamn miserable person and takes it out on others.

On top of all that, he also tried to say racism doesn't happen in Korea (to a black woman lmao), that sexism isn't real because once he had a female coworker who got paid more than him, and defended Iron's sexual assault case with the "well we weren't there and she looks slutty on her instagram!" line. He's a piece of shit all around.

[rainstormraider.livejournal.com]

I did not know all this.

Trash human being.

[msgrottesca.livejournal.com]

Yep, he got to give a Q&A at some event and answered pm all questions about Korea in the most defensive, Koreaboo, "Korea is a perfect country with zero social stigmas at all get over it stop being a hater!!!" way possible lol.

[kyokomurasaki.livejournal.com]

wtf, I didn't even realize that happened. I unsubscribed from him after the whole Kyla drama

[jasmineakaiumi.livejournal.com]

He's pressed that Holland is the kpop's breakout struggle vocal twink and not him lbr.

omg i was trying to figure out why he was so pressed and you really hit the nail on the head

[msgrottesca.livejournal.com]

If a story comes out about Holland being mysteriously pushed down a flight of stairs and having to cancel all of his appearances, I know who I'll blame lmao.

[jasmineakaiumi.livejournal.com]

he likes to google his name so careful you might be next 👀👀👀👀

[msgrottesca.livejournal.com]

ugh, god, I wish. I would sue ha for that $weet $weet youtube ca$h.

[yxerin.livejournal.com]

"struggle vocal twink"

[msgrottesca.livejournal.com]

I speak only in truths!

[daceymormont.livejournal.com]

lmao this is so hilarious to me because kpop is all about shoving heterosexuality down our throats. like, male idols pretend to be our boyfriends ffs.

[heyitsrocky91.livejournal.com]

cackling I told my friend the same thing. He's so fucking bitter about Holland's success lmao.

[froggster.livejournal.com]

He's such a brave cutie. I wish him all the best.
I wonder how long he has been sitting on his debut. It looks warm in de MV (bts) and I doubt he's so rich he can just fly out a film crew.
He said his agency didn't allow him to come out. I wonder if he left them, because he mentioned looking around for an agency now. Or maybe it was a mistranslation and he meant they wouldn't sign him when he stated he wanted to be out.

[froggster.livejournal.com]

Maybe he got some connections through his art school. One big ass art student collab.

[kyokomurasaki.livejournal.com]

Just from what I can tell, it sounds like he may have been with an agency previously but decided to leave when they wouldn't support him - he's mentioned a lot how he's doing everything himself including the video so he definitely doesn't have one now. No idea on the timeframe of that or where the money for the M/V came from.

[froggster.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I that's how I understood it as well. I've been digging for a few days BUT THERE IS SO LITTLE.

[kyokomurasaki.livejournal.com]

He has to have something in the works to be talking about seeing his international fans soon. I'd be curious to see what it is considering he only has 1 song out at the moment; a KCON slot would definitely be cool but I'd be surprised for that reason. I could see him going as more of a panel guest than a performer.

[xxhna.livejournal.com]

all the best to him! i hope people will listen to his music.

[kenata.livejournal.com]

does anyone know if any other idol (or others in the industry) have mentioned anything about holland yet? im hoping to see some supportive messages rolling in tbh : (

[pourtant.livejournal.com]

i would be very surprised if any idol says anything publicly, even among the ones who previously expressed support for the lgbt in general... it would be like a direct endorsement and even if an idol personally wanted to idt their management would let that fly. the most likely possibility imo is if the idol is interviewed by a western outlet while promoting and that question comes up

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

I'm so happy that he's getting attention internationally! I hope he sees all this support. What he's doing is so brave

[pepsi-twist9.livejournal.com]

I wonder if it's possible to make a career out of no agency music career. I know there's lots of underground rappers etc but I have no idea if they can make a living off of it. I know an agency would be the most stable for him but with his situation I kind of hope he doesn't get trapped by one.

I'm not a huge fan of his song but I'm loving his success. He's so adorable in a you want to just tussle his hair kind of way aha

[thebloomroom.livejournal.com]

Good for him!!!

[heyitsrocky91.livejournal.com]

Yay!!!!! I'm so happy to have an openly gay idol. Fuck everyone who says it's doesn't matter.
