Super Junior's Heechul revealed the reason why he never denied the rumors he was gay.
This was revealed by him when presenting the latest episode of the program '7.7 Billion in Love' on April 13, 2020 yesterday.
In the episode the MCs and panelists discussed the topic of sexual minorities in various countries. Heechul then said, "Some people would already know, but since I debuted I have often been rumored to be gay."
"I also have a 'scandal' with male celebrities. Many rumors say that I'm gay because since I debuted I have long hair and wear colored contact lenses, "he said.
Regarding the reason he never denied the rumor, "At first, I wanted to refute and said that I was not homosexual. However, I feel that if I do that, I am just not respecting the sexual minority. "
"It doesn't matter if it's overseas or in Korea, there must be gay fans watching our concert, and I think I will feel very grateful for them," he said.
‘7.7 Billion in Love’ is a new program at JTBC that discusses taboo topics with panelists from various countries. (www.kpopchart.net)
