AceShowbiz - K-Pop singer Sunmi celebrates Pride Month in such an unforgettable moment. During her Amsterdam stop of her "Warning World Tour" on Tuesday, June 4, the "Gashina" hitmaker revealed to the crowd that she had many different sides of herself.
In a video which goes viral on social media, the 27-year-old beauty could be heard saying, "I have many different sides of me." She went on adding, "Like dorky...and LGBT.. LGBT Queen," meeting loud cheers and excitement from the audience.
"There are sides of me that I know very well, like, just like I just said," the "Siren" songstress continued. "And sometimes there are times when I don't know myself."
Additionally, Sunmi yelled, "Happy Pride!" at one point during the concert which was held at the Q-Factory. She also was seen wrapping herself in a Pride flag which was a gift from one of the concert-goers.
While Sunmi's statement doesn't seem to necessarily mean that she is coming out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, it does surely allude to her standing in solidarity with the community. Fans applauded the self-appointed LGBT Queen for doing so since it was a big statement given the fact that many are fighting for more rights for LGBTQ+ community in South Korea, where same sex marriages are not legally recognized.
"Whether she was referring to herself being part of the community or just being an ally, sunmi is so brave for openly talking about it and either way she's still on our side," one fan tweeted. Another fan added, "i'm so proud of sunmi i literally felt shivers down my spine, my god. she's helping A LOT the korean lgbt community, i hope she knows she did an amazing thing for herself and for all the people who'll feel encouraged to come out and live happily."
"I'm f***ing shaking- Sunmi- Whether she came out or not this is still HUGE and I am so freaking happy I can't even process this," one other fan gushed.
Following the viral video, the former Wonder Girls member quickly became No. 1 in Worldwide trend on Twitter. She's currently fifth trending on the blue bird app.
Neither Sunmi and her agency Makeus Entertainment has commented on her statement.
