I went deaf around a year after this song came out. This song had genuinely meant so much to me (and still does), and even though I cannot hear it anymore, I still come back often just to watch the video. Though there's little possibility of my hearing coming back, if it does, this will be one of the first things I listen to. Thank you so much holland
@@ladybread.8608 He did. He went to different entertainment companies, but they wanted him to pretend to be straight and he wasn't going to go with that. So, he saved up money from his part-time job.
I can't believe how strong he is. He was bullied after telling his close friends in middle school that he was gay. He was going through such a hard time and no one could comfort him, not even his family, friends or any public figure. That's why he thought that there had to be a public figure that would speak up for others, and he debuted as one. Thank you for doing this, Holland.
I hate the fact that in other boy groups/girl groups they ship members together and say they should be together but now that a idol that is openly gay makes music you hate it ?
Yeah, there are a lot of persons who are fetishising gay people, but when when it comes to real lgbtq+ people or couples they go against it... It is not just mad annoying, but also a real problem.🙄
This guy is braver than 90% of the Korean community. Living in a conservative country like Korea, working in an industry that basically feeds off the approval of the people around him, yet he manages to release this. Amazing. Best wishes for you career.
This is my first time hearing this, it’s so good. I’m glad he’s able to be himself and create music that shows it. As a Bisexual girl In the UK I could never imagine what he went through to be where he is, but I’m glad he did.
I can't believe I've been supporting and listening to holland's music for almost 3 years already and i found his music coincidentally when i was confused and curious of my gender and sexual orientation.
Honestly, I really hope people remember Holland for being an artist and not just "that one gay k pop idol" because this man actually has potential and and talent
The reason why Holland’s stage name is Holland is because it was the first country to legalise gay marriage. But that’s just a theory, A gay theory. Edit: Mom, I’m famous
You never tore yourself apart to be rebuilt into something you’re not, instead you grew and continue to blossom. Keep being you and not an expectation. Thank you Holland
i love how people can write smut fanfics about their favorite male idols, but cant handle an actual lgbt idol kissing in an mv just say youre a hypocrite and leave
PEOPLE PLEASE DO NOT LET THIS SONG DIE! I AM WRITING IN ALL CAPITALS WHILST BAWLING MY EYES OUT BECAUSE I COME FROM A VERY HOMOPHOBIC COUNTRY & FAMILY AND I FEEL LIKE GOD IS PUNISHING ME EVERYDAY BUT IF HOLLAND CAN MAKE IT DESPITE HIS STRUGGLES (his socioeconomic background & family might be different to yours but he is still the closest among the K-pop who can truly relate to us & represent us!), THEN WE SHOULDN'T SEE DEATH AS A WAY OUT! if death isn't the end to my story then one day, I hope I can visit Seoul & see him live.

@Aurelia Brown they didn’t say we couldn’t acknowledge that he’s also gay. They’re saying that his talent is worthy of mention and yet nobody seems to be talking about it.
I'll be real honest. It was okay, but it didn't move me in anyway. A foreign language song must spark emotion sames as any song. I've been into opera and various genres of non-English language music (African, Middle-Eastern, and Latin, etc.) since 1992-93 while at university and pre-BTS.
I have never had any interest in K-pop, but this man seems so genuine and amazing. I admire him for being open about his sexuality even though that got him so much hate and rejection. Idols like him are the ones we need. These are the people kids should look up to. This is the only k-pop idol I will ever stan.
@Nathan Harrison since he is born in '96 I think around 2023-24ish unless he gets exemption or something, and it would be tough since, the people go through tests to ensure that they are straight.
@@Faustthewitcher because in Korea being gay isn't something alot of people openly talk about it so with some people having a lack of knowledge about the LGBTQ community some people in the military might bully/harass him because he is Gay and they might be scared of it since they don't know about it. That's why people are kinda worried about him going to the military.
SadisticStang you're an ass. She can be happy about a singer who's open about who he is as well as care about other things. Stop forcing people to only care about one thing.
That one kid I'm sure some are decent people. The problem is that the ones who are most out spoken are not decent people. They don't see something to respect, they just as things like this as something to hate and fear.
I came here after just watching Ocean Likes Me and then reading up a bit on the main cast members. In that series, Holland's character says in a late episode that it is easier to give up. It is but I am particularly glad he fought on. Message for Holland - one day, maybe when you are as old as I am, there will be no need for anyone to come out because there will be no more differentiation between people. When I was a kid I campaigned for equality, I marched, I published, I was a right pain in the butt at times. Decades later, many countries gave that equality - decades after that we are still waiting for the prejudice in people's minds to go, for them to just understand that, in the terms often used in BL's, love has no gender. Kudos to you, keep being you.
people like Holland are changing the world. he has more courage than anyone i’ve ever known, and anyone that tries to hate on him can fight me i’ll literally jump through my screen and throw hands, accept that the world is changing for the better and that everyone might be able to love who they want someday without feeling less about themselves.
Because despite SK being awfully homophobic he’s out here being an openly gay artist and thriving, that’s also important not only for other gay people to see representation but also to other gay artist to show them they don’t need to hide their sexuality, I get what you’re saying but him being openly gay is amazing too
@@miramark2466 People can appreciate both and the fact that he's gay DOES matter. The more people who are openly gay, the more society will progress towards acceptance of them (so long as there isn't an extreme conservative backlash). I'd be willing to bet that he is inspiration to tons of gay Korean guys. Representation is incredibly important. It's great to appreciate his music but you don't have to ignore his sexuality to do that,
the fact that I've know him as a bl actor 'cause I did watch his bl series, and now I know he is a good singer and so talented and confident, bro I will support you until the end!!! I LOVE YOU HOLLAND BABY!!!!! keep it up, we are proud of you
when no one wants help you, you do it all yourself. seriously this guy is so strong and amazing. he made/organized the whole song/MV and everything himself because he's an independent artist unable to find an agency that would take him. but he went ahead and did everything himself because he loves music so much and wants to get his message out so badly. he wants to comfort the all those lonely souls out there who feel like they are all on their own. seriously I have so much respect for him. he probably went through A HECK ton of obstacles before being able to debut. HOLLAND, I will stand by you.
I came across this song in an article when i was reading about kpop, and HONESTLY ITS SO CUTE. To everyone saying ‘ofc gays are going to support this wtv’ NOPE IM STRAIGHT AND THIS MV IS ADORABLE. They just kissed, thats it.. why was there a whole drama about it?? So sad.
@White Widow hey, I'm religious too but I really don't have a problem with it! I even identify as pansexual so... not all of us are the same! but also yes, sadly, many religious people judge other people for what they do with their lives. 🤮.
Read an article on CNN about how its difficult for Idols and other celebrities in S Korea to be out as gay because they are still very conservative and the director told Holland that if he showed any kind of romantic interest toward a man on screen they would have to label it as content for 19+ (here's the article if anyones interested in reading it: www.cnn.com/2020/01/25/asia/k-pop-gay-star-intl-hnk/index.html)
Wow he’s so brave and bold to put out a mv like this, specially in korea. The song by itself was amazing and the video was heart warming. I hope nothing but success to holland!
I remember watching this video when it had just come out and loving the song, I still do, but I never really realized how much some people were judging, criticizing and hating on him. Why does it matter if he's gay? He has such a beautiful voice I can't get enough of it and from what I have seen of him he is also an amazing person. Much love.
Guys please stop saying he needs to practice on his vocals, this is his debut, he will grow up, please support him and don't judge him so easily, this is just the beginning🙏💕
I believe Holland has quite a different voice from the usual idol as his singing voice is deeper while everyone is used to idols with high pitched voices i think that's why many may not like it at first. Although this is what make's him unique, i really like his singing and the more you listen the more catchy the song comes. Also which kind of idols have perfect vocals when they debut?? (maybe very few) everyone improves (he is even an independent artist) so there is no reason for people to hate him he is sending a very important message so he needs our support
THIS. Go back to any artist you stans frost vids and you’ll see that they all start around this level, what really matters is that they have promise, and a future full of improvement.
Lala Lala thank you! Finally a person gets it. I even commented that I like it because his voice is unique, which is a good thing because who wants to hear the same thing all the time? His voice isn't bad in my opinion, it's just unique.
I have immense respect for holland. not only did he have the courage and confidence to debut as an openly gay idol, he did it all by himself, from producing to making the music video to marketing. and he managed everything amazingly. I am honestly so so proud of him and i can't wait to hear more music from him. he will have my full support always ❤
thank you so much for showing so many young kids, teenagers, and even adults that being gay and in the lgbtq+ community is amazing and people should always be accepted no matter their race, sexuality, or gender. you are an inspiration to so many people, please keep singing and loving who you love!
I just watched an interview in which he said he did ALL THIS by himself. The song, the music video, marketing etc. I wish him all the best for his music career and hope he will find an agency that will treat him right. What a great beginning of 2018 for K-pop!
What a brave young man. On the other hand it's really sad he had to be brave to do this. Everyone should be accepted for who they are and who ever they wanna love.
To all the people who say they don't like Holland because hes gay. Holland is talented. Holland is beautiful inside and out. Holland is brave. Holland is a inspiration. Holland is polite. Holland loves his fans. What does Holland being gay have to do with his personality or his talent? Even if you don't support people being gay it doesn't mean you can't like listening to his music. Sexuality has nothing to do with being friends with them or listening to their music. i have friends who don't support me being bisexual but they're still my friends because my sexuality doesn't label who i am. So what he doesn't like girls! If you have a problem with that then stop bothering him and leave him alone because us, his fans, love him.
am i the only one who actually really likes the song? the beat, the vibe, the lyrics... it's so beautiful and calming. love listening to this, it takes my mind off things and literally sends me to... neverland lol looking forward to more music from you holland!❤ keep it up!
Same here, I come here every now and then to listen to this song because I find it relaxing, it looks like he has the kind of voice that you could either really hate or really love.
i'm french. And i saw russian, korean, japanese, spanish, english, portuguese comments. And even more different languages. You touched everyone. Thank you. You made it easier for lots of people. Love you. 🌸💜 Thank you thank you thank you.
Sweet Monstaa Hi!!!! I want to learn More English than And I'm Speak spanish but i Want to learn English and French , I admire you a lot For speaking English And French ❤
Anastassia González ow thanks 🌸 but i guess it's kinda normal, i've been studying languages for 10 years now, i'm fluent in 3 languages it's necessary to know a lot of diff languages to be interpretor
Ok lemme just say. I WORSHIP THIS MAN. He is so talented, and one of (i think the only) the only kpop idols who are openly gay. He is such an inspiration to so many people including myself and I just love the work he does!!
So let me just get this out.. I’m korean girl and I’ve been really wanting to talk about this a while ago. I think korea finally needs to come out of that “everything has to be perfect and match out traditional beauty standards” thing. I’ve been bullied for having tan skin, for being “too tall” and not matching the “cute little girl” Standard and it’s just the same with different sexual orientations.. korea is such a conservative country and it’s sad that many people don’t accept that a human can be DIFFERENT. Being different is not something you should be ashamed of, being disrespectful against them is. I hope this song is a start or the first little step to change korea. I really hope that some day you or someone out there in the world can be accepted as their real self and don’t change for someone else. You just do your own thing and be yourself and I’m sure one day you’ll find someone who appreciates the REAL you. Thank you holland for doing this💪🏻
I agree with you there. Korea has that everyone needs to be the same. Fashion, beauty, etc. Meaning that if a jacket comes to fashion, then everyone has to get it so they wont look different and become an outsider. But every person should be a unique person, different. If you don´t like something or don't want to wear something. Then don´t, the is your choice. It is your life. Even though I don´t know what you look like, I am pretty sure that you look beautiful and stay strong for being yourself. Love you
Am I the only one who sees how revolutionary the kiss scene is? And I'm not talking about it being between two guys. No! I'm talking about it being a legit kiss and not those weird close-mouthed kisses that look like they are being done between siblings whose parents forced them to kiss and make up. That is not romantic, folks. That is just awkward. This kiss is between a couple and actually looks like it. Aside from that, I have mad respect for Holland. This took guts and hopefully he gets to keep it up. You have my support.
I totally agreed! I feel so wierd when i see those close mouth kisses, i end up closing my eyes coz it's sooo wierd hahah xD This kiss was legit and i'm sooo proud!!!
This is true courage. He'll inspire youth all over the world, I know it. On another note: let's all make sure we're appreciating him for his musical talents not just his sexuality
i'm here to support him for being openly gay. i'm proud of him for attempting to open the south korean anti-gay mindset and for challenging their taboos. i hope he keeps producing music and videos. and i hope that from what he is doing, other gay kpop idols will be inspired to rise from the shadows and be proudly open too.
there have been many other openly gay/lesbian idols in the past, but almost all of them got kicked out of their companies immediately after coming out. holland isn't the first, but he's definitely groundbreaking for making lgbt music videos and being openly gay
if you want to support more asian lgbt represantation in media, take a look at the drama 'History 3 Trapped', its airing right now and has massive success
You know why his name is Holland? Because Holland (nickname of The Netherlands) was the first country to allow marriage of the same gender. And his fanclub "Harlings", The place "Harlingen" is in The Netherlands as well. Edit: Holy moly cow!!! 1.5 likes? Finally I have reached something in laifu. Jk XD. Thanks guys. Let us spread the love, positivity and hope. And let us make sure that in 2019, more people dare to be theirselves (be it lgbtq, straight, Christian, Jew, Muslim, black, white, whatever else)!!! LETS DO THIS!!
@@eplcmeme420 We should be! There are no wars going on here, almost everybody here can get a job and has a roof above their heads, people even get paid to study (so they do not need to have a large sum of money), there, poverty here is very rare and if there is, they are being supported, we have healthy drinking water and in almost all places, healthy air. The main issues here (or so I heard from my students) are that you need to pay taxes for almost anything, the humid weather and national interest.
Holland had to invest in this music video himself because nobody else wanted to invest in his music video. And now it has 14 Million views. He believed in himself and it paid off.
I just discovered him today, I'm late maybe because I'm not really into kpop but I'm so happy i did. This was absolutely beautiful- the vocals are weirdly comforting and visuals stunning. Thanks for this.
I love him for the fact of being brave knowing that Korea is usually very prejudiced, we are going to give him love and strength to keep growing. ♥♥♥♥♥ #Loveislove
Despite what all the people say in the comments, I think his voice is amazing. It's very unique. A lot of people are used to vocals like, idk, EXO or BTS, something like that, but I think his voice is special and it fits the song. I really like the kind of raspiness to it and the way he doesnt have to belt out high notes and hard adlibs to make me absolutely fasinated with his voice.
Aria Petersen Bts have weak vocals and many people dont even notice. They can of course improve so idk why people get that offended when they say he needs to improve his vocals, most idols can take notes too. What matters is that he is a great idol.
I was just simple stating that I like his voice. I also just simply listed the first kpop groups that came to my mind. I think everyone can always improve their vocals in some way, but I thought I would simply share that I didn't agree with some of the comments and that I quite liked his voice. I am entitled to my own opinion after all.
As a gay person, this song and video are so important to me. I love that this video showed the more delicate side of one of our relationships. The gentle kisses, the cuddling, holding hands on a beach - we all do these things too. We love just like anyone else, and that means that we can love gently. I think people tend to forget that sometimes. Thank you so much Holland, this song is beautiful and I can't wait to see where your career takes you.
Lena Carey and that we aren’t always perfectly happy but have fights and sad moments too! I especially loved how it showed a whole relationship. I can’t wait til someone translates the lyrics!
Imagine the pain idols who are apart of lgbtq+ has to go through, knowing the fact that their country is not very open about people being gay, maybe some of them even forced themselves to like the opposite gender just because they didn't want to be 'different' from others, I salute those who came out, I hope SK will be more open about lgbtq+ and I wish those idols who are closeted right now is doing well, I wish them the best.
The reason why people hate Holland is... because they don’t have a chance with him. Edit: omg! Thx for the 1k likes I never intended to get so many just wanted to put my opinion out there! Thx again tho! ❤️
He owes me my innocence and lungs after I watched this vid for the first time a year ago holy FRICK IM STILL SAD AND HAPPY *sappy* I have no chance unless I shave my hair off and pretend I’m a 20 year old Korean idol. Which I am not

I'll be real honest. It was okay, but it didn't move me in anyway. A foreign language song must spark emotion sames as any song. I've been into opera and various genres of non-English language music (African, Middle-Eastern, and Latin, etc.) since 1992-93 while at university and pre-BTS.

When I was a kid I campaigned for equality, I marched, I published, I was a right pain in the butt at times. Decades later, many countries gave that equality - decades after that we are still waiting for the prejudice in people's minds to go, for them to just understand that, in the terms often used in BL's, love has no gender. Kudos to you, keep being you.
It's been 4 yrs. Who's here to listen to this song again and again? I'm not the only one I'm sure
people like Holland are changing the world. he has more courage than anyone i’ve ever known, and anyone that tries to hate on him can fight me i’ll literally jump through my screen and throw hands, accept that the world is changing for the better and that everyone might be able to love who they want someday without feeling less about themselves.
Why are we focusing on his sexuality? The songs a bop and the artist is talented! Thats all that matters
Exactly
Because despite SK being awfully homophobic he’s out here being an openly gay artist and thriving, that’s also important not only for other gay people to see representation but also to other gay artist to show them they don’t need to hide their sexuality, I get what you’re saying but him being openly gay is amazing too
@@houseofbl1914 I get that but what I'm saying is, everyone is focusing on his sexuality and not his music
@@miramark2466 People can appreciate both and the fact that he's gay DOES matter. The more people who are openly gay, the more society will progress towards acceptance of them (so long as there isn't an extreme conservative backlash).
I'd be willing to bet that he is inspiration to tons of gay Korean guys. Representation is incredibly important. It's great to appreciate his music but you don't have to ignore his sexuality to do that,
Dear that happens only when you are not happy with your's 😎
I came here because he played in the seriess ocean likes me and he looks really good🥺And I want to say Holland's voice is really beautiful🖤
He has even sung the OST of that drama😊
👍👍👍
Me too 😂😂
the fact that I've know him as a bl actor 'cause I did watch his bl series, and now I know he is a good singer and so talented and confident, bro I will support you until the end!!! I LOVE YOU HOLLAND BABY!!!!! keep it up, we are proud of you
we not gonna talk about how aesthetic this entire mv is??
It is
Frrr
when no one wants help you, you do it all yourself. seriously this guy is so strong and amazing. he made/organized the whole song/MV and everything himself because he's an independent artist unable to find an agency that would take him. but he went ahead and did everything himself because he loves music so much and wants to get his message out so badly. he wants to comfort the all those lonely souls out there who feel like they are all on their own. seriously I have so much respect for him. he probably went through A HECK ton of obstacles before being able to debut. HOLLAND, I will stand by you.
Viva #WeStanWithHolland
Wait he’s independent? That’s amazing 🙀
Thanks I was about to ask what agency he was under then I decided to scroll through comments first
I came across this song in an article when i was reading about kpop, and HONESTLY ITS SO CUTE. To everyone saying ‘ofc gays are going to support this wtv’ NOPE IM STRAIGHT AND THIS MV IS ADORABLE. They just kissed, thats it.. why was there a whole drama about it?? So sad.
I'm here after his interview with Dive studio 🤭
HIS VOICEEEEE?? IS ANYONE NOT TALKING ABOUT IT....
You are right i love his voice but you know too this kiss is good thing for us
It's so stable and soothing, his tone of voice is really relaxing and he isn't straining it, he sounds beautiful
This!
Let's talk about it for hours
Yeah i know its trash right?
It’s just ridiculous how it is “adult content” THIS IS THE SWEETEST MV IVE EVER SEEN HOW IS IT POSSIBLE??????
They fucked, Brittney.
@@lgbts4314 I can't tell if you're serious or not
That's so true
@White Widow hey, I'm religious too but I really don't have a problem with it! I even identify as pansexual so... not all of us are the same!
but also yes, sadly, many religious people judge other people for what they do with their lives. 🤮.
Read an article on CNN about how its difficult for Idols and other celebrities in S Korea to be out as gay because they are still very conservative and the director told Holland that if he showed any kind of romantic interest toward a man on screen they would have to label it as content for 19+ (here's the article if anyones interested in reading it: www.cnn.com/2020/01/25/asia/k-pop-gay-star-intl-hnk/index.html)
I love that he came out, LGBTQ+ shouldn't be rejected in Kpop.
omg 5 years went by so quick
*We need to bubble wrap this baby to protect him from all hate and homophobic comments*
YES also love the username
Dannie Jay Thanks.💜
No we need to make a protection circle ariund him
*throws pillows and blankets at him* he needs to be protected at all costs 😤
mood
Wow he’s so brave and bold to put out a mv like this, specially in korea. The song by itself was amazing and the video was heart warming. I hope nothing but success to holland!
Viana 비아나 h
Can’t believe this was 4 years
I remember watching this video when it had just come out and loving the song, I still do, but I never really realized how much some people were judging, criticizing and hating on him. Why does it matter if he's gay?
He has such a beautiful voice I can't get enough of it and from what I have seen of him he is also an amazing person. Much love.
Guys please stop saying he needs to practice on his vocals, this is his debut, he will grow up, please support him and don't judge him so easily, this is just the beginning🙏💕
I believe Holland has quite a different voice from the usual idol as his singing voice is deeper while everyone is used to idols with high pitched voices i think that's why many may not like it at first. Although this is what make's him unique, i really like his singing and the more you listen the more catchy the song comes. Also which kind of idols have perfect vocals when they debut?? (maybe very few) everyone improves (he is even an independent artist) so there is no reason for people to hate him he is sending a very important message so he needs our support
THIS. Go back to any artist you stans frost vids and you’ll see that they all start around this level, what really matters is that they have promise, and a future full of improvement.
Whats wrong with his voice? I find it adorable tbh.
Lala Lala thank you! Finally a person gets it. I even commented that I like it because his voice is unique, which is a good thing because who wants to hear the same thing all the time? His voice isn't bad in my opinion, it's just unique.
His voice is so beautiful💕💕💕😭😭 I cried💕💕😭😭
I have immense respect for holland. not only did he have the courage and confidence to debut as an openly gay idol, he did it all by himself, from producing to making the music video to marketing. and he managed everything amazingly. I am honestly so so proud of him and i can't wait to hear more music from him. he will have my full support always ❤
ananya~ so true!!! he is amazing!!
holland~ you are so courageous + talented! kamsamnida! hwaiting! 💪🏼🌈🌞
❤️💛💚💜💙🌏💜💙💚💛❤️
#oneworldonepeople #lovewins
WOW that’s amazing I didn’t know this, this just increase my respect for him I know he’s going to go places
thank you so much for showing so many young kids, teenagers, and even adults that being gay and in the lgbtq+ community is amazing and people should always be accepted no matter their race, sexuality, or gender. you are an inspiration to so many people, please keep singing and loving who you love!
The aesthetic of the MV is so pretty 🥺
I just watched an interview in which he said he did ALL THIS by himself. The song, the music video, marketing etc. I wish him all the best for his music career and hope he will find an agency that will treat him right. What a great beginning of 2018 for K-pop!
Fanny Annie if we tweet this song to her enough she might
What a brave young man. On the other hand it's really sad he had to be brave to do this. Everyone should be accepted for who they are and who ever they wanna love.
My Baby🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 this is so so good. Neverland on repeat !!!!!! Gosh I love you baby
Omg I miss him so much. It's been a year since he last released some music! Please comeback Holland. We're rooting for you😭💜
we must protect at all cost
we actually have to!
Anais Persephone yea
We really do have to protect at all cost
yes, we MUST.
We MUST and we WILL. ❤
To all the people who say they don't like Holland because hes gay.
Holland is talented.
Holland is beautiful inside and out.
Holland is brave.
Holland is a inspiration.
Holland is polite.
Holland loves his fans.
What does Holland being gay have to do with his personality or his talent? Even if you don't support people being gay it doesn't mean you can't like listening to his music. Sexuality has nothing to do with being friends with them or listening to their music.
i have friends who don't support me being bisexual but they're still my friends because my sexuality doesn't label who i am.
So what he doesn't like girls! If you have a problem with that then stop bothering him and leave him alone because us, his fans, love him.
I like Holland mostly because he is gay...
I'm new I just found him today jeez XD

looking forward to more music from you holland!❤ keep it up!
chan kkuma same

Same here, I come here every now and then to listen to this song because I find it relaxing, it looks like he has the kind of voice that you could either really hate or really love.
nope i listen to it everytime before i go to sleep because i love this song :)
Same
Holland is adorable 💙💜😍❤️
i'm so proud of you
I have seen some malicious comments bullying Holland, we need to support him.
Yes!
*yes*
We shall love Holland no matter what

BTS Forever
yay ! + our country isn't really openminded about lgbt stuff. I think idols like Holland can help
Og her er en norsk kommentar (: / And here’s a Norwegian comment (:
Ok lemme just say. I WORSHIP THIS MAN. He is so talented, and one of (i think the only) the only kpop idols who are openly gay. He is such an inspiration to so many people including myself and I just love the work he does!!
The fact that he's not hiding that he's a gay, thank you for being yourself holland. You deserved everything in this world.♡
So let me just get this out.. I’m korean girl and I’ve been really wanting to talk about this a while ago. I think korea finally needs to come out of that “everything has to be perfect and match out traditional beauty standards” thing. I’ve been bullied for having tan skin, for being “too tall” and not matching the “cute little girl” Standard and it’s just the same with different sexual orientations.. korea is such a conservative country and it’s sad that many people don’t accept that a human can be DIFFERENT. Being different is not something you should be ashamed of, being disrespectful against them is. I hope this song is a start or the first little step to change korea. I really hope that some day you or someone out there in the world can be accepted as their real self and don’t change for someone else. You just do your own thing and be yourself and I’m sure one day you’ll find someone who appreciates the REAL you.
Thank you holland for doing this💪🏻
I hope one day it will change. Stay strong girly!
Hey, Iove you.❤
저도 그렇게 생각해요. 힘내세요 😊 화이팅~
Thank you for saying this! It's so true, and I also hope things can change and people can be more aware of these changes in a positive way.
I agree with you there. Korea has that everyone needs to be the same. Fashion, beauty, etc. Meaning that if a jacket comes to fashion, then everyone has to get it so they wont look different and become an outsider. But every person should be a unique person, different. If you don´t like something or don't want to wear something. Then don´t, the is your choice. It is your life.
Even though I don´t know what you look like, I am pretty sure that you look beautiful and stay strong for being yourself. Love you
3:02 When a music video has better kisses than most of kdramas
ChickAnime exactly what I was thinking.. Their kiss was so sweet
right? XD
ChickAnime honestly though most bl dramas/movies I've seen have better kiss scenes that a lot of the heterosexual couples
Judith I ve never heard of bl dramas (I’m a bit new). Do you recommend one? (Sorry for my english)
I'm still shooketh
1:20 this part
The scene, the music, the voice, the beat
It's all just heavenly!
Happy pride month everyone
I find it funny that this MV gives a better kiss scene than many hit Kdramas😂
Bianca Palacios-Fox why r u so right omg 😂
Bianca Palacios-Fox tea, but you right 😂
TOTALLY RIGHT
Bianca Palacios-Fox this is so true
Bianca Palacios-Fox OMG EXACTLY.😂
Am I the only one who sees how revolutionary the kiss scene is? And I'm not talking about it being between two guys. No! I'm talking about it being a legit kiss and not those weird close-mouthed kisses that look like they are being done between siblings whose parents forced them to kiss and make up. That is not romantic, folks. That is just awkward. This kiss is between a couple and actually looks like it.
Aside from that, I have mad respect for Holland. This took guts and hopefully he gets to keep it up. You have my support.
Mari Grey Agree!!!!
I totally agreed! I feel so wierd when i see those close mouth kisses, i end up closing my eyes coz it's sooo wierd hahah xD This kiss was legit and i'm sooo proud!!!
Agree! The kiss is so good!
You just read my mind
Mari Grey I stand with you here
0:53 his smile is just so cute 🥺🤧
sooooo beautiful so proud of you sunshine
*The 42k people who disliked are just jealous they didn’t get to kiss Holland*
I’m jealous but i still likes :,)
HAHAHA
Lmao 😂
fr
PUAHHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
This is true courage. He'll inspire youth all over the world, I know it.
On another note: let's all make sure we're appreciating him for his musical talents not just his sexuality
Erin Duffy I want see a coment like this ♥
*claps* yes bih
yesssss
Erin Duffy bless your soul for saying this 👏💕
PREACH IT
thank you, love. I keep going back to this song every month you're the light for me and this song makes space for my heart. thank you.
I will literally never get over this MV-
Yes i came because he is the first openly gay idol BUT I want to support him BECAUSE of his MUSIC. I really love this song.
Same
Exact reason why I'm here today
i'm here to support him for being openly gay. i'm proud of him for attempting to open the south korean anti-gay mindset and for challenging their taboos. i hope he keeps producing music and videos. and i hope that from what he is doing, other gay kpop idols will be inspired to rise from the shadows and be proudly open too.
there have been many other openly gay/lesbian idols in the past, but almost all of them got kicked out of their companies immediately after coming out. holland isn't the first, but he's definitely groundbreaking for making lgbt music videos and being openly gay
if you want to support more asian lgbt represantation in media, take a look at the drama 'History 3 Trapped', its airing right now and has massive success
You know why his name is Holland? Because Holland (nickname of The Netherlands) was the first country to allow marriage of the same gender. And his fanclub "Harlings", The place "Harlingen" is in The Netherlands as well.
Edit: Holy moly cow!!! 1.5 likes? Finally I have reached something in laifu. Jk XD. Thanks guys. Let us spread the love, positivity and hope. And let us make sure that in 2019, more people dare to be theirselves (be it lgbtq, straight, Christian, Jew, Muslim, black, white, whatever else)!!! LETS DO THIS!!
Katara of the Southern Water tribe. so the name of my country does have a meaning🙊😂
@@fabiennebouw2349 I guess so.
Now I’m happy to live in the Netherlands
꧁༺Raindr0p༻ ꧂ i feel you
@@eplcmeme420 We should be! There are no wars going on here, almost everybody here can get a job and has a roof above their heads, people even get paid to study (so they do not need to have a large sum of money), there, poverty here is very rare and if there is, they are being supported, we have healthy drinking water and in almost all places, healthy air. The main issues here (or so I heard from my students) are that you need to pay taxes for almost anything, the humid weather and national interest.
Holland had to invest in this music video himself because nobody else wanted to invest in his music video. And now it has 14 Million views. He believed in himself and it paid off.
I just discovered him today, I'm late maybe because I'm not really into kpop but I'm so happy i did. This was absolutely beautiful- the vocals are weirdly comforting and visuals stunning. Thanks for this.
Better late than never
I love him for the fact of being brave knowing that Korea is usually very prejudiced, we are going to give him love and strength to keep growing. ♥♥♥♥♥
#Loveislove
Despite what all the people say in the comments, I think his voice is amazing. It's very unique. A lot of people are used to vocals like, idk, EXO or BTS, something like that, but I think his voice is special and it fits the song. I really like the kind of raspiness to it and the way he doesnt have to belt out high notes and hard adlibs to make me absolutely fasinated with his voice.
people criticizing his voice dont even know the difference between vocal tone and singing technique lmao
Aria Petersen
Bts have weak vocals and many people dont even notice. They can of course improve so idk why people get that offended when they say he needs to improve his vocals, most idols can take notes too. What matters is that he is a great idol.
Aria Petersen
Same, his voice is so interesting
I was just simple stating that I like his voice. I also just simply listed the first kpop groups that came to my mind. I think everyone can always improve their vocals in some way, but I thought I would simply share that I didn't agree with some of the comments and that I quite liked his voice. I am entitled to my own opinion after all.
Excuse Jooheon's charisma DONT START DRAMA THIS IS NOT THE TIME AND PLACE THANKS
this is definitely a song you hear durning summer and then as years past and you hear it again you get nostalgic
His song is just
I can't even express my feelings
They are just so good
A positive vibe in his song has been found 💜
As a gay person, this song and video are so important to me. I love that this video showed the more delicate side of one of our relationships. The gentle kisses, the cuddling, holding hands on a beach - we all do these things too. We love just like anyone else, and that means that we can love gently. I think people tend to forget that sometimes. Thank you so much Holland, this song is beautiful and I can't wait to see where your career takes you.
Lena Carey and that we aren’t always perfectly happy but have fights and sad moments too! I especially loved how it showed a whole relationship. I can’t wait til someone translates the lyrics!
+Satansoo that too! I've had arguments and been annoyed with my girlfriend sometimes. It's how life is. I'm pumped to see what the lyrics mean
They're so cute.
I cried.
Already been 4 years, now Holland is going to be acting in a BL drama so proud of him. Can't wait to see him act
Really? What is the name of the drama?
@@jyotishrestha5539 Ocean likes me
Omg, that’s great!
Imagine the pain idols who are apart of lgbtq+ has to go through, knowing the fact that their country is not very open about people being gay, maybe some of them even forced themselves to like the opposite gender just because they didn't want to be 'different' from others, I salute those who came out, I hope SK will be more open about lgbtq+ and I wish those idols who are closeted right now is doing well, I wish them the best.
His vocals are A M A Z I N G
Finally a comment not about his sexuality but about his pure talent 😌 and you are absolutely correct his vocals and visuals are A S T O N I S H I N G
He is just an absolutely amazing person !
True he has a unique voice
YASSS
YAS M A T E
The reason why people hate Holland is... because they don’t have a chance with him.
Edit: omg! Thx for the 1k likes I never intended to get so many just wanted to put my opinion out there! Thx again tho! ❤️
Khadija Azam i hate him because he robbed my heart😔
jdnd nn lol ok
He owes me my innocence and lungs after I watched this vid for the first time a year ago holy FRICK IM STILL SAD AND HAPPY *sappy*
I have no chance unless I shave my hair off and pretend I’m a 20 year old Korean idol. Which I am not
Right
Yass queen he's so cute as well and they just don't have what he has so they jealouss
You bring me so much happiness!
The song and those vocals😩
