'During that period of time I was very inspired and felt support by listening to pop singers who supported the LGBT community, and in the K-Pop scene in Korea it’s still a taboo to support the LGBT community, or to have a conversation about it. The singer's affection is evident as he talks about the experience, and admits: 'When I was younger, I went through the same things that my fans are going through, or probably going through now, and it was very hard for me to do that.
The singer's first European tour saw him perform at the ULU in London to an adoring crowd of fans, with many bringing flags from all ends of the LGBTQ+ spectrum to fly during the concert to represent their respective sexual identities. Honest: When asked if he ever felt directly discriminated against he admitted he couldn't 'say no to that' but added that 'there are a lot of people who are open-minded' in the music industry Holland's decision to follow his own path has clearly worked in his favour though, as his music boasts millions of views on YouTube, his debut track Neverland has been streamed 12 million times, while his single Loved You Better has gotten over 2 million views since its release two months ago. 'I've been doing it a long time by myself, and because of that I've become stubborn because I have my own way of doing things. But, for me, my focus is finding a crew who are able to support and help me tell the message that I want to send to fans. 'There are other elements that artists focus on, but the main things they do is practice singing and dancing. 'So, what the company and the artist must do is divided equally, its very distinct. ' mould them into what they think will be the best for them,' he explains.
Candid: On if he ever had any difficulties in the music industry, Holland admits: 'If someone had an issue with me because of my sexuality then they wouldn’t even work with me'
