South Korea's first-ever openly gay idol Holland has released his official solo debut 'Neverland'.
Holland's 'Neverland' was released on January 22, at midnight KST. The music release was highly anticipated as the idol came out of the closet in public.
This is one of the biggest revolutions not just in Korean Entertainment industry but in the entire country itself as South Koreans are not very open about the LGBT community.
Holland will be joining stars like Hok Suk Chun and Harisu who belong to the same community.
The MV portrays the experience and the story of two lovers whose relationship is highly critical to the society as they are of the same sex. The music shows a man who wants to escape to a place with his partner where they can love freely and also avoid discrimination and criticism from people. The story is deep, meaningful, touching and shows the true emotions they feel for one another.
The 'Neverland' MV just got released but have already attained lots of views as it has a unique concept.
It seems like most of the netizens have supported the idol on social media. #HollandDebutDay was trending on Twitter and supporters put in few words for the idol to encourage him.
Check out tweets:
Yes, this is important. Yes, the LGBTQ+ community is being represented in a beautiful way. Yes, this will inspire others to be brave enough to be themselves, whatever that may be. #HollandDebutDay

He’s the first gay K-pop idol. I’m gonna drown him in support and love, because he’s gonna need thatâ¤ï¸â¤ï¸
If you don’t accept the LBGTQ+ community, please don’t say anything.#HollandDebutDay
It's time to start teaching children that being gay is normal and okay. Why put it on 18+? #HollandDebutDay#Neverland

Respect him as an artist
Protect him against all the stigma
We're here ready to go through the musical journey with you! @HOLLAND_vvv #HollandDebutDay
I admire Holland for his bravery and courage. It takes a lot of guts to be an open gay in a country which is closed minded when it concerns the LGBT+ community. I hope the people of Korea open up their mind to this #HollandDebutDay pic.twitter.com/AXTrTGoybN
