Openly gay K-pop star Holland assaulted in homophobic attack: “This is obviously a hate crime”
Openly gay K-pop star Holland revealed that he was recently the victim of a homophobic attack. In an emotional Instagram post, the 26-year-old singer opened up about the traumatic attack alongside photos of his injuries. “Last night, I was walking around Itaewon with my manager and a friend.
Suddenly, a stranger man approached me and hit me on the face twice, calling me ‘a dirty gay’,” he revealed. Holland then told his followers that he was headed to the hospital to treat his face injury. “This is obviously a hate crime.
The fact that my sexuality as gay is public should never expose myself to this kind of violence. Nor any other LGBT+ and all elders, women and minorities in this world,” he continued.
Towards the end of his post, he revealed that he filed a police report before expressing his hopes for the case to be solved. “This should never happen to anybody in this world, no matter who you are.
