Actor Hong Seok-cheon appreciated writer Kim Su-hyun's work.
Hong Seok-cheon appeared in 'Bold Heart' on the 19th. Through this program, Hong Seok-cheon sent a special thanks to writer Kim Su-hyun, who wrote the drama "Life is Beautiful". Hong Seok-cheon is the star who made his coming-out 10 years ago.
Hong Seok-cheon said, “After Kim Su-hyun's "Life is Beautiful" went on air, a lot of things changed. I feel thankful to her.”
He added, “There was a boy who had many problems due to his sexual preference. After he watched "Life is Beautiful", he got the courage to talk to his parents and made his coming-out. Even though his father was a very strict man, he understood his son's preference, just like in the drama. 'Life is Beautiful gave a new life to one family, one person.”
On that day's 'Bold Heart', Hong Seok-cheon joked, “I understand that we can be disturbing to many of people, but we don't like all men. For example, Kang Ho-dong and I have same gender, but he is not my type.”

OK, I know you are absolutely right, but trust me, anti-gay fear turns the brain into mashed potatoes. For a straight people gays are perceived as people in constant heat. It makes no sense, but they see it through a distorted perspective. Distorted with fear against the unknown.
