Actor Hong Suk-Chun to Host 'Coming Out'
topix, 13-4-2008
Hong Suk-chun, the first Korean actor to publicly "come out of the closet,'' is hosting his own television talk show, "Coming Out'', a program that features the lives of homosexuals.
Hong will be hosting the program with actress Jung Kyung-soon on cable channel tvN. He stirred the nation when he came out in 2000 and suddenly stopped appearing on television for a while. "Five percent of Korea's population is considered homosexual, but who knows if the number is higher? These are people who are living with us right now and the suffering they go through is unimaginable,'' Choi said.
"I don't advise people to come out because I know it is a hard decision. But as for myself, I have never been happier. I don't have to lie to myself any more,'' Hong said.
"I told the crew that the program must be based on humanity. So many minorities (including the gay community) are being discriminated against. Korean society needs more programs like this,'' he said.
