During the recent episode of His Man, the contestants were playing Jenga and answering questions. On one of Taichi’s turns, the question asked if there were any words that touched him after coming out.

Taichi explained that his parents already knew he was gay before coming up.

When it came to his friends, he spoke about one of his idol friends.

After he came out, the idol friend said he had homophobic views but after knowing Taichi, he became more accepting.

Taichi added that his friend said he was no longer a homophobe and because they always got on, he viewed it without prejudice.

The topic of sexuality in Korea is still a tale of two halves, but it seems like more people are accepting.
