Broadcaster Hong Seok-cheon recently supported Just B member Bae In, who came out.
On the 27th, Just B member Bae In captured a media interview where Hong Seok-cheon expressed support for Bae In on his personal SNS and sent a long message.
Bae In said, "Hello, senior. This is Bae In from Just B. I felt a profound resonance after seeing your warm support and deeply heartfelt advice in the article. Because you walked the lonely and difficult path 25 years ago more than anyone else, I was also able to find a little courage in this position now."
He continued, "There is fear on the path I am taking, but thanks to you shining like a lighthouse in front of me, I believe I can move forward step by step. I sincerely thank you, and I want to be someone who can give strength to others like you."
Bae In added, "I hope to be able to personally visit you someday and express my gratitude. I always support and respect you."
In response, Hong Seok-cheon left a message of support saying, "Congratulations, and I will support you."
Earlier, Bae In confessed his sexual identity, saying, "I am proud to be a member of the LGBTQ community," during a world tour held in Los Angeles, U.S., on the 22nd (local time).
Bae In is the first member of a male idol group of Korean nationality to come out. However, the agency Blue Dot Entertainment stated to OSEN, "As it concerns Bae In's personal life and sexual identity, we find it difficult to provide a separate position."
