Holland confirms he never mentioned idols bullying him in school

[chiirbii]

Openly gay K-pop idol Holland recently gave an interview to Kyunghyang News where he discussed what motivated him to come out, and the difficulties he faced as an out teenager in school.

Fans became concerned that those who had bullied him have since become idols, and began asking for names to be revealed via social media.

Concerned that fans may have misunderstood, Holland has clarified he never said anything about idols bullying him. See the official statement below.

“Holland confirms that he didn’t mean the ones who bullied him became idols or actors.â€

We've got an exclusive interview with Holland by Sam Hammington coming next week, so stay tuned for more.

This channeled the inner knetz on inetz thought...

That would be such a coincidence if they did lol. Like all of them??? What drama esque world to these kids live in!??

 

They’re probably in jail rn or smth lol.

[Moon Jellyfish]

Well then, that ends all those calls for dropping names. However, it's still disheartening that he experienced those types of hardships just because he's gay. I hope he continues to work hard because he seems like a nice kid.

It's even worse than that, since I did use google translate initially to read the article they supposedly got this information from. It's not there. They just inserted the bit about idols bullying him from rumours created by english speaking fans.

I think what they rely on are those so-called tips that pretty much anyone can send them. Also most of their interns are stupid teens on stan twitter so I'm not surprised 

[Kreamer]

There are some idiots on twitter who even made threads 'investigating' and drop some idols names because of this.

[youtrieditduh]

now all the idiots can stop guessing and accusing idols  

[Peach Macaron]

honestly some ppl i saw who were calling for names to be spilled were so obviously doing it bc they wanted to drag ppl they didnt like thru the mud and just to get tea and not actually bc they cared about holland and the hardships he went through.

[felidae]

Some people havent learned to NOT READ ALLKPOP AND KOREABOO

If anything, this will harm him more. Fucking international fans, regardless the bullying is a mistranslation, exaggregation, or indeed happened. Dropping names as if yall doing him favor

[kissxkiss_baby]

Lmaao way to reach for the stars

[Onetooth]

huh, why are people bringing up koreaboo and allkpop? this was all started cause of a fan on twitter saying it, and then it caught fire and spread. i don't even think those articles are even known(first i've heard of them) compared to the tweets.

Koreaboo published an article based off the rumours and quoted Holland as if he actually said it. They also referenced a previous interview he did and also quoted that, so at first it did seem like legitimate news to anyone that was stumbling across it for the first time.

 

Ultimately, Koreaboo gave 'legitimacy' to the rumour that was initially just among fans on twitter.

[rananicolee]

I never trusted Koreaboo since they tried to say Jay Park and Dok2 were investigated for drugs before getting called out by Jay Park. And I knew this story was some mess Koreaboo would try to start for drama and some clicks.

[nocthis]

You're all so quick to believe anything just for the sake of your 'tea'. Color me surprised.

[CareBear08]

 just to get tea and not actually bc they cared about holland and the hardships he went through.

You took the words right out of my mouth. Whenever I see someone in a thread using the word "tea" I cannot take them seriously. Why? It's because it makes people look like they're living for the drama. 

[CareBear08]

Someone in the other thread said that he never mentioned idol names but no one listened to that person. They just kept going on and on about him putting names out there. 

[CandyCane23049]

Will this thread get as many pages as the first one?

Haha that person was me. People really didn't listen, like at all. 

[PockyAddict1989]

And not only that, but there were people naming idols left and right even idols who were a decade older than Holland because they appeared on a list of allumni on the school that they think he went to wikipedia entry. I admit i thought the idol bullying was true, but stopped believing it when the OP said that it was'nt there at all.

 

Koreaboo added fire to this shit, like they always do. They are known for either adding or twisting translations. There are so many stories about them either leaving out words, or adding dramatic stuff to sensationalize.
