Kwak Sun-hee, who revealed a photo taken with her partner, expressed her feelings about coming out.
On the 15th, Kwak Sun-hee shared on her social media service (SNS), "I have only recorded small and cute (?) daily moments with the person I love, but I am truly overwhelmed by the heartfelt support and congratulations from so many people."
She also mentioned, "Including appearances on 'Steel Troops,' I have several times made my existence known, and since I am actively engaging on SNS, I thought I had some influence, but I never dreamed it would be to this extent."
Additionally, she said, "I have seen many comments from those who have heard my news using expressions like 'courageous' and 'confident,' and for me, what is just an act of record seems to have become a demonstration of not hiding, and I appear to be perceived as a strong person who can speak up."
She continued, "Certainly, I think it is because of my strong personal values regarding 'love,' which deserves respect just by existing, regardless of its form. I am genuinely applauding the various forms of love that exist in the world. Lately, I have been feeling that there are many people like us, and I hope you all have the courage in the love you pursue. We are people who have the right to be happy."
Kwak Sun-hee said, "These are incredibly grateful times where I don't know what to do with the unexpected attention and love. I will not forget the love and support you send, and will create beautiful times as we are. I also sincerely hope that happiness and health will always accompany you in your daily lives."
