Suk-chun Hong is the first out Korean celebrity.
After his coming out in 2000, he was banned from TV for 3 years.
But he survived it and became owner of many famous restaurant in Itaewon(one strict of Seoul where there are many gay places), father to his nephew and niece(he adopted his sister's siblings after she got divorced) and iconic figure in Korean queer community.
He appeared one of the famous talk shows, Healing Camp recently and shared his love story, the reason of coming out and how he dealt with the result.
He got emotional several times during the show but he also shared his experiences which many Korean gay people can relate to, I suppose.
