"I believe that anyone, regardless of age or gender, should be able to wear the clothes that they want. I find such joy in being able to express myself through clothes and fashion. As an artist, I’m able to embody and portray so many aspects of myself through our music, facial expressions in performances, and dance, but with fashion, I can express and showcase another completely different side of myself that fully embraces and captures my personal story." - Seonghwa
no amount of words can convey how much this means. for someone like him to not only express this level of confidence and assurance in himself, but to also openly send that supportive love out into the world means everything.
for me, living my whole life in environments where this is heavily looked down upon (to put it very lightly), even now still figuring out my own style because for so many years it was decided for me, and still not being able to fully express my true self because it's just not safe to where i am right now, hearing again from someone i care about so much that it's ok to be me means more than i can ever say.
seonghwa, whatever clothes and fashion you wear, however you express yourself, i hope you know that you have an infinite amount of loving support in return. i hope you can always feel safe and confident to bloom brilliantly and show the world every facet and colour of your beautiful heart, soul, and self. i hope you can see yourself with the eyes of those who cherish you.
thank you, every day, always and always for being you, brightest star. 🩶🌟
