Willa Holland then said: "I have a scar on my face and I'm going to the hospital soon; this is an obvious hate crime. I should never be exposed to violence because I am Coming Out gay. "
Willa Holland said, "What happens in Korea in 2022 is an example of how unguaranteed gay human rights are. I reported to the police and I believe that the police officers will solve it well. "

While walking along Itaewon Road with Friend and manager early today, an unknown man struck me twice because he was "dirty gay" and said he was gay. I'm going to the hospital soon. This is a hate crime. I'm not exposed to violence because I'm Coming Out. What happens in Korea in 2022 is an example of how unguaranteed gay human rights are. I called the police and I believe the police will handle it well.
I hope that this will not happen again, and that all minorities, including the growing LGBTQ, and a world that can show hope and love to children rather than disgust and violence.
