Openly Gay Idol HOLLAND Announces Hiatus, Reveals Struggles With Debt
Openly gay and independent K-Pop idol HOLLAND has announced he might be entering a hiatus due to a “huge debt.”
HOLLAND, who made his debut on January 22, 2018, with the digital single “Neverland,” posted a statement on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), along with a screenshot of a recording titled, “Holland – self pitying.” He explained that he has been unable to make a profit since the Coronavirus pandemic. His agency went bankrupt, leaving him with a “huge debt.”
to be honest, i haven’t made a profit since covid.
when my company went bankrupt, i ended up with a huge debt.— HOLLAND
Although HOLLAND has been working hard to deliver content and music for his fans, he is afraid that he will not be able to pursue his music career for some time.
i’ve worked hard since then, but it seems like i won’t be able to continue my music career for a while.
i’m really sorry to share this news with you, who have always waited for me.— HOLLAND
Still, HOLLAND emphasized this isn’t the end. He will continue to work hard to return, even if it takes a while.
but i’ll keep trying to make a comeback.
my situation has pushed me to the edge, but i’m doing my best to stay strong and not run away.i want to be loved by many people again.
it’ll take an incredible amount of effort, and i’ll need to fix my broken state.
it’s going to take a long time, but if you keep remembering me, please know that i’m always here by your side.i love you.
