Hong Suk Chun talked about life as a gay man on the February 1 episode of 'As You Say'.

He opened up about his past and revealed, "I was different since I was young so I was bullied. I was physically and even sexually harassed in middle school by those toughest kids."

He continued, "It was personally really hard. I was good in school but my grades kept on dropping. It looked like I was living a normal life but I was nothing more than an empty shell. I worried a lot to overcome the nightmare and one day, I came to think that I need to forgive those friends first. Now, they have changed back and now are my friends."
