HOLLAND
Singer HOLLAND posted and stated an assault he suffered last night.
It was on his social networks that on May 6, 2022, the singer HOLLAND, who is openly gay, announced that he was attacked by a man in the middle of the street, calling him “dirty gay“.
Here is the singer’s statement:
“Last night, I was walking around Itaewon with my manager and a friend. Suddenly, a stranger man approached me and hit me on the face twice, calling me ‘a dirty gay’. Now I have a scar on my face and I’m going to the hospital soon. This is obviously a hate crime. The fact that my sexuality as gay is public should never expose myself to this kind of violence. Nor any other LGBT+ and all elders, women and minorities in this world. This happening in 2022 shows the sad reality of LGBT+ human rights.
I reported to the police and I hope the case is well solved.
This should never happen to anybody in this world, no matter who you are. I wish our world is filled with more love and hope rather than hate and violence.”
This is a sad announcement, which we also condemn, violence should no longer exist in 2022 and we support the singer HOLLAND in his efforts. A difference should not lead to violence in our world.
