Although pride month was alive and well in June, it is never too late to show your support and love yourself and others each day! With courage in mind, that is exactly what one idol expressed during a live Fan-Signing event.
NCT’s WayV member Ten had showcased his love and support for the LGBTQIA+ community during a live Fan-Sign held with global fans. The up-close and personal experience (as much as it could be with co-vid in mind) had quickly turned into a moment of purity and appreciation after a fan had the chance to ask Ten a question.
The fan shyly asked, “I was wondering, if you have like, any messages to your LGBT fans?” To which Ten responded with, “Oh! Um, I want you to be yourself, love, we are the same, we are all humans, we’re the same. So love yourself, don’t try to change yourself, just be you and that’s enough. If you’re happy with yourself…, that’s like everything, if you’re happy with yourself, that’s enough.” (AWW!) Check out/Click the video below!
