#i didnt know ge went my minsung

a ROUGH translation of Minsung's IG post

To be honest, I believe Korea is not used to queer people yet. Due to this, the people with many identities under the title of queer often hide, or fight, or even just don’t pay any attention/don’t care. This kind of truth is not only "true" but also ironically there are people trying to erase the identities of queer people.

I find it so unfortunate that people have to seek the agreement of others when it is simply people loving other people, and also for the reason that we are different, it makes us lower members of society. To be honest there is no reason for me to have to upload this officially, but only now do I carefully voice my thoughts. Thinking on the confusing days, I wish that the word "queer" did not even exist in the world. I wondered, "how great would it be if the "rules" for loving and the world was so free that we would not even need the word "queer"." Because of my struggles, and the many people who were curious about my queer identity, and the people who hated me for being different from others, and the many people who asked me questions in order to help understand and find their own identities, I am uploading this in order to give strength and hope to others. Many say that there is no right answer in the world. Yes that is right. To be honest even I am in a position where I cannot fully provide the answer that I am asexual and aromantic. So I have made the decision to not be trapped in their opinions/views. That does not mean I am ignoring this important part of my identity. Since I have focused on loving myself and my sexuality, I found that the harsh words of others no longer affect me. Yes. I am not attracted to the opposite sex. As of now I am also not attracted to those of the same sex. I do not feel the need to date and I really really do not like sex. That is who I am now, and this truth is fun to me and I like it. You can do it, people like me are also living well and happily. Do not turn your ears to those words of others. You are most important and precious.

EDIT: I didn't know he changed his name to Minsung, sorry about that!!
