The idol then explained that there was a reason that he never directly addressed the rumors, bringing up an interview done by Michael Jackson.

I said this in an interview. In the past, Michael Jackson said this. Among my fans, there are fans who like men. There are also fans who like women. So it’s not that big of a deal. So I thought there was no reason to explain myself.
