The reason why Holland’s stage name is Holland is because it was the first country to legalise gay marriage. But that’s just a theory, A gay theory. Edit: Mom, I’m famous

I can't believe how strong he is. He was bullied after telling his close friends in middle school that he was gay. He was going through such a hard time and no one could comfort him, not even his family, friends or any public figure. That's why he thought that there had to be a public figure that would speak up for others, and he debuted as one. Thank you for doing this, Holland.

I went deaf around a year after this song came out. This song had genuinely meant so much to me (and still does), and even though I cannot hear it anymore, I still come back often just to watch the video. Though there's little possibility of my hearing coming back, if it does, this will be one of the first things I listen to. Thank you so much holland

The fact that he financed his own debut because he didn't want to pretend to be something he's not is incredible to me. :)

This guy is braver than 90% of the Korean community. Living in a conservative country like Korea, working in an industry that basically feeds off the approval of the people around him, yet he manages to release this. Amazing. Best wishes for you career.

Honestly, I really hope people remember Holland for being an artist and not just "that one gay k pop idol" because this man actually has potential and and talent

Popular opinion: everyone agrees that this is not a MV, is a masterpiece. Don't let this song die.

He did all of this by himself, holland is simply just amazing

His vocals are just- **chef's kiss**

I have a friend who has a crush on holland and while we were watching this and it got to the kissing part he said “lucky bastard” under his breath 🤣🤣

나는 확실히 새로운 팬이다!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe I've been supporting and listening to holland's music for almost 3 years already and i found his music coincidentally when i was confused and curious of my gender and sexual orientation.

People be sleeping on Holland his voice and the fact the he isn’t afraid to show that he likes men. I’m glad I found out about him

Wow he’s so brave and bold to put out a mv like this, specially in korea. The song by itself was amazing and the video was heart warming. I hope nothing but success to holland!

I have never had any interest in K-pop, but this man seems so genuine and amazing. I admire him for being open about his sexuality even though that got him so much hate and rejection. Idols like him are the ones we need. These are the people kids should look up to. This is the only k-pop idol I will ever stan.

His songs are pretty high in quality, and this one is no exception. The instruments and vocals mesh well with the video.

we not gonna talk about how aesthetic this entire mv is??

Holland is so cute!! He’s so squishy! How can anyone hate him?!

I came here because he played in the seriess ocean likes me and he looks really good🥺And I want to say Holland's voice is really beautiful🖤

PEOPLE PLEASE DO NOT LET THIS SONG DIE! I AM WRITING IN ALL CAPITALS WHILST BAWLING MY EYES OUT BECAUSE I COME FROM A VERY HOMOPHOBIC COUNTRY & FAMILY AND I FEEL LIKE GOD IS PUNISHING ME EVERYDAY BUT IF HOLLAND CAN MAKE IT DESPITE HIS STRUGGLES (his socioeconomic background & family might be different to yours but he is still the closest among the K-pop who can truly relate to us & represent us!), THEN WE SHOULDN'T SEE DEATH AS A WAY OUT! if death isn't the end to my story then one day, I hope I can visit Seoul & see him live. Love y'all and take care of each other! I love this random

okay everone's talking about he's gay and stuff, but what about the actual song? the actual m\v? HIS ACTUAL TALENT?

What a brave young man. On the other hand it's really sad he had to be brave to do this. Everyone should be accepted for who they are and who ever they wanna love.

This is my first time hearing this, it’s so good. I’m glad he’s able to be himself and create music that shows it. As a Bisexual girl In the UK I could never imagine what he went through to be where he is, but I’m glad he did.

I love that he came out, LGBTQ+ shouldn't be rejected in Kpop.

people like Holland are changing the world. he has more courage than anyone i’ve ever known, and anyone that tries to hate on him can fight me i’ll literally jump through my screen and throw hands, accept that the world is changing for the better and that everyone might be able to love who they want someday without feeling less about themselves.

I hate the fact that in other boy groups/girl groups they ship members together and say they should be together but now that a idol that is openly gay makes music you hate it ?

basta-, no puedo creer que no encontré este pedazo de arte antes

the fact that I've know him as a bl actor 'cause I did watch his bl series, and now I know he is a good singer and so talented and confident, bro I will support you until the end!!! I LOVE YOU HOLLAND BABY!!!!! keep it up, we are proud of you

i'm french. And i saw russian, korean, japanese, spanish, english, portuguese comments. And even more different languages. You touched everyone. Thank you. You made it easier for lots of people. Love you. 🌸💜 Thank you thank you thank you.

It’s just ridiculous how it is “adult content” THIS IS THE SWEETEST MV IVE EVER SEEN HOW IS IT POSSIBLE??????

Know Holland as artist not as "that one gay kpop idol". He has so much talent and potential, he is so much more than that

Came here( from his recent post 😭 he deserves world 🤍) to check out his songs and I'm satisfied

I just watched an interview in which he said he did ALL THIS by himself. The song, the music video, marketing etc. I wish him all the best for his music career and hope he will find an agency that will treat him right. What a great beginning of 2018 for K-pop!

I'm happy hes open about his sexuality knowing and not caring of peoples opinions hes such an inspiration

I came across this song in an article when i was reading about kpop, and HONESTLY ITS SO CUTE. To everyone saying ‘ofc gays are going to support this wtv’ NOPE IM STRAIGHT AND THIS MV IS ADORABLE. They just kissed, thats it.. why was there a whole drama about it?? So sad.

I remember watching this video when it had just come out and loving the song, I still do, but I never really realized how much some people were judging, criticizing and hating on him. Why does it matter if he's gay? He has such a beautiful voice I can't get enough of it and from what I have seen of him he is also an amazing person. Much love.

I have immense respect for holland. not only did he have the courage and confidence to debut as an openly gay idol, he did it all by himself, from producing to making the music video to marketing. and he managed everything amazingly. I am honestly so so proud of him and i can't wait to hear more music from him. he will have my full support always ❤

when no one wants help you, you do it all yourself. seriously this guy is so strong and amazing. he made/organized the whole song/MV and everything himself because he's an independent artist unable to find an agency that would take him. but he went ahead and did everything himself because he loves music so much and wants to get his message out so badly. he wants to comfort the all those lonely souls out there who feel like they are all on their own. seriously I have so much respect for him. he probably went through A HECK ton of obstacles before being able to debut. HOLLAND, I will stand by you.

I came here after just watching Ocean Likes Me and then reading up a bit on the main cast members. In that series, Holland's character says in a late episode that it is easier to give up. It is but I am particularly glad he fought on. Message for Holland - one day, maybe when you are as old as I am, there will be no need for anyone to come out because there will be no more differentiation between people. When I was a kid I campaigned for equality, I marched, I published, I was a right pain in the butt at times. Decades later, many countries gave that equality - decades after that we are still waiting for the prejudice in people's minds to go, for them to just understand that, in the terms often used in BL's, love has no gender. Kudos to you, keep being you.

It's been 4 yrs. Who's here to listen to this song again and again? I'm not the only one I'm sure

am i the only one who actually really likes the song? the beat, the vibe, the lyrics... it's so beautiful and calming. love listening to this, it takes my mind off things and literally sends me to... neverland lol looking forward to more music from you holland!❤ keep it up!

does anyone else think that holland looks like a bunny hes so cute

I'm here after his interview with Dive studio 🤭

You never tore yourself apart to be rebuilt into something you’re not, instead you grew and continue to blossom. Keep being you and not an expectation. Thank you Holland

*We need to bubble wrap this baby to protect him from all hate and homophobic comments*

Am I the only one who sees how revolutionary the kiss scene is? And I'm not talking about it being between two guys. No! I'm talking about it being a legit kiss and not those weird close-mouthed kisses that look like they are being done between siblings whose parents forced them to kiss and make up. That is not romantic, folks. That is just awkward. This kiss is between a couple and actually looks like it. Aside from that, I have mad respect for Holland. This took guts and hopefully he gets to keep it up. You have my support.

CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT HOW NICE HIS VOICE IS AND HOW GOOD THIS MV IS

thank you so much for showing so many young kids, teenagers, and even adults that being gay and in the lgbtq+ community is amazing and people should always be accepted no matter their race, sexuality, or gender. you are an inspiration to so many people, please keep singing and loving who you love!

Why are we focusing on his sexuality? The songs a bop and the artist is talented! Thats all that matters

please comeback soon king

omg 5 years went by so quick

The fact that he's not hiding that he's a gay, thank you for being yourself holland. You deserved everything in this world.♡

I found out about him 5 minutes ago and I'm addicted.

I love Holland's guts for openly being a gay idol. I love the song and melody, but I feel his voice needs a little more refining. Holland has just debut but I see some awesome talent in him. Fighting!

동성애자들 잘못이 없고 그냥 올바르게 살면 됩니다. 자신을 가지세요 여러분. 저는 무성애자고 홧팅!!!

No puedo creer que ya tiene 4 años desde que salió, siento como si fue hace poco me siento nostálgica

To all the people who say they don't like Holland because hes gay. Holland is talented. Holland is beautiful inside and out. Holland is brave. Holland is a inspiration. Holland is polite. Holland loves his fans. What does Holland being gay have to do with his personality or his talent? Even if you don't support people being gay it doesn't mean you can't like listening to his music. Sexuality has nothing to do with being friends with them or listening to their music. i have friends who don't support me being bisexual but they're still my friends because my sexuality doesn't label who i am. So what he doesn't like girls! If you have a problem with that then stop bothering him and leave him alone because us, his fans, love him.

I wish he was known as "an amazing singer" instead of "an amazing GAY singer"

Can’t believe this was 4 years

i'm so proud of you

I find it funny that this MV gives a better kiss scene than many hit Kdramas😂

i love how people can write smut fanfics about their favorite male idols, but cant handle an actual lgbt idol kissing in an mv just say youre a hypocrite and leave

come on you guys hate him just because he's gay?,why does this world allow people to be judgmental?,,let him do whatever makes him happy,,it doesn't cost you little or nothing right?,,you say it's disgusting as well as your words

Ok lemme just say. I WORSHIP THIS MAN. He is so talented, and one of (i think the only) the only kpop idols who are openly gay. He is such an inspiration to so many people including myself and I just love the work he does!!

As a gay person, this song and video are so important to me. I love that this video showed the more delicate side of one of our relationships. The gentle kisses, the cuddling, holding hands on a beach - we all do these things too. We love just like anyone else, and that means that we can love gently. I think people tend to forget that sometimes. Thank you so much Holland, this song is beautiful and I can't wait to see where your career takes you.

Yes i came because he is the first openly gay idol BUT I want to support him BECAUSE of his MUSIC. I really love this song.

Holland is adorable 💙💜😍❤️

sooooo beautiful so proud of you sunshine

can we just stop to appreciate the vocals, the vibe, the mv, everything? it's just perfect

3:02 When a music video has better kisses than most of kdramas

I'm back here cause I miss him so much... we need a comeback!!!!

Happy pride month everyone

So let me just get this out.. I’m korean girl and I’ve been really wanting to talk about this a while ago. I think korea finally needs to come out of that “everything has to be perfect and match out traditional beauty standards” thing. I’ve been bullied for having tan skin, for being “too tall” and not matching the “cute little girl” Standard and it’s just the same with different sexual orientations.. korea is such a conservative country and it’s sad that many people don’t accept that a human can be DIFFERENT. Being different is not something you should be ashamed of, being disrespectful against them is. I hope this song is a start or the first little step to change korea. I really hope that some day you or someone out there in the world can be accepted as their real self and don’t change for someone else. You just do your own thing and be yourself and I’m sure one day you’ll find someone who appreciates the REAL you. Thank you holland for doing this💪🏻

Kpop fans: wow I hope my favourite idols are gay Holland: hi I'm a gay idol Kpop fans: no not like that

There are a lot of closeted gay people in Korean entertainment/Korean celebrities Holland is one of very few being truthful/open

The aesthetic of the MV is so pretty 🥺

2:18 Nobody: Absolutely nobody: Auto-generated English CC: "Chicken cockadoodle awesome Ryder"

I'm not crying, you are crying

Imagine the pain idols who are apart of lgbtq+ has to go through, knowing the fact that their country is not very open about people being gay, maybe some of them even forced themselves to like the opposite gender just because they didn't want to be 'different' from others, I salute those who came out, I hope SK will be more open about lgbtq+ and I wish those idols who are closeted right now is doing well, I wish them the best.

In my opinion it's doesn't matter what gender a person loves they should love freely and Holland showed that truly he's not afraid to shot that his gay and that makes me happy he's talented in singing and the way of showing people that his sexuality doesn't changes anything he still will follow his dream I will support u no matter what happens stay strong and don't listen to the people who hate u from ur sexuality, sexuality doesn't change anything ❤️❤️❤️ 내 의견으로는 사람이 자유롭게 사랑해야하는 성별을 중요하지 않습니다 그리고 네덜란드는 진정으로 그가 자신의 게이 촬영을 두려워하지 않는 것을 보여 주었다 그리고 그는 노래에 재능과 그의 성적이 여전히 자신의 꿈을 따를 것입니다 아무것도 변경되지 않습니다 사람들을 보여주는 방법 나는 무슨 일이 일어나든 u를 지원할 것이고 당신의 성에서 U를 싫어하는 사람들의 말을 듣지 않는다면, 성적은 아무것도 변하지 않습니다. ❤️❤️❤️ 당신을 사랑해요♡♡♡♡🏳️‍🌈

You know why his name is Holland? Because Holland (nickname of The Netherlands) was the first country to allow marriage of the same gender. And his fanclub "Harlings", The place "Harlingen" is in The Netherlands as well. Edit: Holy moly cow!!! 1.5 likes? Finally I have reached something in laifu. Jk XD. Thanks guys. Let us spread the love, positivity and hope. And let us make sure that in 2019, more people dare to be theirselves (be it lgbtq, straight, Christian, Jew, Muslim, black, white, whatever else)!!! LETS DO THIS!!

This is true courage. He'll inspire youth all over the world, I know it. On another note: let's all make sure we're appreciating him for his musical talents not just his sexuality

why are people talking about him like he's the only gay korean idol/artist? yes, he's openly gay but don't assume that he's the only one... I hope more idols would come forward to stop such terrible behaviour towards gays in the ent industry...

His song is just I can't even express my feelings They are just so good A positive vibe in his song has been found 💜

Guys please stop saying he needs to practice on his vocals, this is his debut, he will grow up, please support him and don't judge him so easily, this is just the beginning🙏💕

People be shipping idols all the time wether it’s same genders or opposite genders. Make edits about them, and wants them to end up together. Then we get him and everybody is suddenly homophobic?

thank you, love. I keep going back to this song every month you're the light for me and this song makes space for my heart. thank you.

Holland best boy. If i ever see people hating on this pure man,get ready to catch these hands

the bad thing with this video is that it ends

I have seen some malicious comments bullying Holland, we need to support him.

Holland had to invest in this music video himself because nobody else wanted to invest in his music video. And now it has 14 Million views. He believed in himself and it paid off.

HOLLAND BL DRAMA IS NEAR YALL

I love him for the fact of being brave knowing that Korea is usually very prejudiced, we are going to give him love and strength to keep growing. ♥♥♥♥♥ #Loveislove

I don't understand the K-pop World any more. Everybody supports Bromance, touches and Kisses between Straight K-pop stars but they can't accept an openly Gay Musician😒 The World we live in... We need to open our eyes and see their is much more to Sexuality because love is love and Talent is Talent❤

Happy 4 years ❤️ I'm proud to have been here since the first day. So much love for Holland ❤️

you deserve more baby

HIS VOICEEEEE?? IS ANYONE NOT TALKING ABOUT IT....

Omg this is sooo good I don’t understand the fans who ship members of the same groupe but don’t suport a normal personne who’s gay Perfect work Holland

I seriously get disgusted with cheap minded peoples. Y'all don't have prob writing gay fanfic and shipping two male idols. But you got whole ass prob with this man coz he actually is gay? Recognise him with his work not with his sexuality coz it shudn't concern anyone of us. He is happy with the way he is and he excepted himself as who he is! Your hate would do nothing to him!!

1:20 this part The scene, the music, the voice, the beat It's all just heavenly!
