In the middle of the conversation, Yoon Ji-sung said, “‘Why are you dressed like a gay?’, ‘Can’t you do any other hairstyle that looks more manly?’… I’m going to answer these comments”.

The male singer continued, “I think there is no kind of clothes in this world that should be considered gay-like. I can wear skirts and grow my hair long. I don’t define such a style as feminine and I don’t think there should be specific criteria for the way men dress, behave, and speak to be considered manly”. He added, “I hope you don’t make any sexist remark like that again.”

Yoon Ji-sung emphasized, “You may not like my hair, makeup, or outfits. But I think you shouldn’t make sexist remarks out of it. I can wear anything I want and all of you can do that either.”

Praising Yoon Ji-sung’s wise response, netizens commented, “He talked so nicely”, “I love his answer”, “He’s amazing. People normally don’t realize that sexist issue”, etc.
