Instagramさんのインスタグラム写真 - (InstagramInstagram)「Holland (@holland_vvv) has taken an unconventional path and fiercely independent approach to his music career from the start. The first openly gay K-pop idol, Holland manages his own image and crowdfunds his music to maintain artistic control.⁣ ⁣ The video for Holland’s 2018 debut release “Neverland” featured the singer’s same-sex kiss. It gained a million online views overnight and grew his global audience. “I make music with the inspiration and life lessons I have gained in mind. That’s how I grew on my own and forged my bond with my fans. My work itself is an embodiment of Holland. K-pop, or music these days in general, blends sound, melody, lyrics, photos, videos and even fashion. As such, it lets me heal my wounds and helps me enrich myself culturally. I can’t live without music now.”⁣ ⁣ Holland came out in middle school and takes his name from the country which was the first to legalize same-sex marriage. “The people who were the greatest source of strength for me when I was getting bullied at school were pop artists that openly supported the LGBTQ community,” he says. “I resolved to become the kind of person with social influence who could be a source of strength for the little Hollands later on.” #ThisWeekOnInstagram⁣ ⁣ Photo by @holland_vvv」7月9日 1時18分
