YouTuber Kim Ddol-ddol revealed the conflicts he experienced with his family after coming out.

The episode of KBS 2TV's "Malja Show" broadcast on the 26th was themed "Is it just me who feels this way?" and featured YouTuber Kim Ddol-ddol and neuroscientist Jang Dong-sun as guests.

On that day, Jung Beom-gyun asked Kim Ddol-ddol, "It must have been difficult when you told your parents about coming out."

In response, Kim Ddol-ddol stated, "At the age of 28, after a great deal of deliberation, I came out on a public broadcast. My family is devoutly Christian. My parents were greatly shocked."

He continued, "My parents said, 'We heard from a certain deacon that it can be cured through prayer. Have you considered going to the hospital?' I felt that there was no point in having a conversation about this."

Kim Ddol-ddol confessed, "I cut off contact with my mother for about six months and did not communicate with my father for four years."

He recalled, "For four years, I focused on my life and worked hard at things I loved. During that time, I received a text message from my father saying, 'Happy New Year. You have to see your face to live.'"

Kim Ddol-ddol, who said he reunited with his family after a long time, shared what his father had told him.

He revealed, "My father said, 'I was very worried that you might choose the wrong path and live a devastated life. But seeing how happy and joyful you are now gives me peace of mind. Do not be looked down upon by others; always live with dignity and victory.'"

Kim Ddol-ddol added, "Hearing those words made me realize that there were areas where we needed to have a conversation."
