If you are one of my fans, or just a general listener, I wanted to tell you something. I have been hiding this for a few months, just a little over a year now, and I think I’m ready to talk about it. I discussed about it with my family first, they were skeptic about me coming out to the public, but agreed to go with it because they knew how supportive you guys (Baebis and others) were. But, I’d like to tell you, I have been in a relationship with another male in the idol industry. Please, respect my decision.”
