I just want to set the record STRAIGHT… It’s Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈 and I have always struggled with identity issues 🧬 and been confused about who I am as a person 👱🏻👧🏻. I took the difficult and brave decision to come out as Non-Binary ⚧ and Korean 🇰🇷to help millions of other LGBTQI+ 🏳️‍🌈young people around the world, Kpop fans and the Korean people feel confident enough to be able to feel no fear to be able to express themselves and how they identify. 🙏🏻

In South Korea, there are millions of unrepresented LGBTQI+ people who are voiceless and who often face being ostracized from society and sometimes even being rejected by their own families, for being LGBTQI+. Being a member of the LGBT community in Korea, like much of the world, is often met with hardships and rejection due to traditional and conservative viewpoints. 🇰🇷

I wanted to be a beacon of light for these brave people and tell them it’s okay to express themselves and it’s okay to come out to the world with however you identify.🗽

Yes I identify as Korean. 🇰🇷 Yes I’m non-binary. ⚧ Yes I look like Jimin. 👱🏻 But none of this should be a reason to outcast me from society, to dehumanise me and shame me for being who I am, a non-binary Korean person.

I will never stop being the person I was born to be! 👶🏻🇰🇷

Next time you decide to troll a person online and publicly shame them for their sexuality or identify- think about the consequences of your words. It costs nothing to be kind, to show respect and to spread love. Spread kindness this Pride month and let’s come together to fight homophobia and allow all human beings the same equal rights regardless of how each one of us identify. 🏳️‍🌈⚧🇰🇷
