For me he´s a handsome man, a good actor, a good singer and it really doesn´t matter if he´s gay - straight - bi or whatever. Come on guys... we´re living in 2018!!!
Aarons sexual preference is no ones business but his own. If you are a fan of his you should be happy and accept him for who he is. A wise man once said love yourself, so if aaron is happy then i support him and love him. #loveyourself
Unless Aaron makes a puplic video stating his sexual preferences are just men, then his female fans have nothing to be upset about. And if they like him just because they want to hook-up with him and not for the fact that hes a phenomenal actor and musician then they are not his fan and not worth his time or energy. Just my opinion...
Why should this effect it though. Aaron has global fans and its 2018 being sexually different isnt a bad thing maybe instead of millions if girls fanning over him he will replace them with men. For the fans that walk away all i can say to them is dont let the door hitcha on your way out....
He is selling a product falsely. The product is him and he is lying and pretending to millions of women. Why cant he do his craft gay? Like bts and park bo gum should do. They should come out and say they are gay instead of prancing it all over the stage. You should come out park bo gum and say you are gay like this guy. V will love you more for it lololol
He’s gay???!! That’s new! 😅 I didn’t know that! He’s still my bae tho’ 😏 I’m not gonna comment on his parents, I have so much gay in my family and knows how hard is it to do a coming out and being kinda reject by your family.... it’s not easy but it’s not our business. The least we can do is to support him no matter what because his sexuality doesn’t define him.
@@user-tp7ne1du1n hes an actor i dont think it would be hard for him especially when the pay checks are rolling in. Its like straight actors who star in gay movies,i don't think they have the time to worry about that much as long as the drama or movie is a hit.
It doesn't matter if he is gay or something.. We won't stop watching him doing his movies and drama... His dramas are exceptionally good... It is just too addicting.. I had downloaded mostly all his dramas... In everything he is kinda faithfull to his girlfriend.. To be frank I had shown my boyfriend to him as an example.. How supportive, how concerned, how loving he is,...paying attention to each and every detail.. From this video it is proved that he is like that in his real life also.. We support you Aaron yan.. With lots of love from Indian fans
I hate the fact that parents are still like this now. Love your kids for who they are. Aaron has such a beautiful heart, that's what I would be most proud of. He's so talented. I hope the relationship with his parents continues to get better.
Man I have watch all of his dramas and thought he was cute 😫, but now that he's come out as gay I will still support him but it's going to be a hard road for him.( Love you so much Aaron Yan P.s always remain yourself
Say what?!?!! He’s gay or bisexual? I had no idea! And I was just re-watching Refresh Man, I seriously had no idea! He’s so amazing in Fall in Love With Me and Refresh Man, and I enjoy listening to his songs
There's nothing wrong to be gay as long as you respect yourself and other peoples lives. And I don't care if he is gay I admired his music and talent not the sexual orientation. I'm gay too. AARON if you read this "LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL IF YOU ARE TRUE TO YOURSELF" so I'm so proud of you. Keep going making music,your talent is amazing. How I wish I can see you singing on the stage personally.
He's GAY?! LOL I'm not laughing at his sexual preference but the fact that he is my Taiwanese main fine ass man crush and he's not even interest in women. Oh well, he's still my number one and I'll live my love fantasy through the dramas he has been part of. I still will support him 100%😊❤
Quete Importa well ive seen some of his interviews and he is just talking about bullying in their school when he was in highschool.. ive never heard he mentioned about being gay..😊
mengenx Only he would know that but I think he is gay more than Bi because if he was Bi I bet his parents would not have reacted the way they did all of these years. If he were Bi, they would have tried to hook him up with so many girls to get him married so he would stay away from the guys. However, only he would know that and unless he openly admits it, you should not assume it either.
@@태양타쿠리 I'm not the one that called being gay a "preference". So I think you're addressing the wrong person here. I'm calling out homophobia, even if it's small. Being gay, bi, trans, ace, etc is not a choice. You don't go, "Hmmm... I think I'm going to choose to be persecuted by society and prefer to be with ONLY men as a man." People who are anti-homosexuality, argue it often as a choice. So read more carefully. BTW, historically all three countries had looser policies on homosexuality, even China had older stories about male-male and female-female couples. It was only fairly recently that shifted. For Korea it was during the Imjin War, mainly that both women and homosexuality were condemned, but in today's society men are more likely to be shamed over women and there is more press about transwomen over transmen. (Where being a transwoman is seen as a "mental illness") Japan widely accepts homosexuality in their media, and has somewhat accepted transwomen, but societally is still repressed, because, the truth of Yaoi and yuri is that it is made and consumed by straight audiences compared to Gei Komi. This honestly makes me very, very uncomfortable that they would try to push heteronormativity on homosexual couples just so that straight people can "accept" them. So partially the rise of Neo Confucianism and also of more conservative Christianity has contributed to the rise of homophobia, so bringing in G-D into this is kinda iffy as well. Meaning the true traditional values towards LGBTQIA in China, Japan and Korea is actually ahead of where we are in most Eurocentric countries. Seems like you're short knowledge. Go study.
@@태양타쿠리 Yes, even Islam was more free with homosexuality originally from what I've read. Christianity in early days was more accepting of women and gay men too. (Didn't care about lesbians at all back then) I do have a loose theory that the fall of women's rights often comes with the fall of rights in trans and gay community since from several cultures and religions those tend to coincide. I acknowledge that President Moon is anti-gay (though not as much anti-lesbian) calling it and strong scare quotes here, "not traditional values." Though from here I'm thinking, "What time period exactly? From the Imjin war when the land was razed and raided? that's really late in Korean history." But it's kinda amusing to me, because Korea, traditionally uses media to push back on societal norms so straight after he said that, there were several network dramas that tried to challenge him directly and even used premises that looked like things he'd like to attract him, or characters like him, etc to challenge him. Historically, though Korea is more accepting of transwomen than transmen, but still lists it as a "mental disorder" and more accepting of transwomen over homosexuality. A transwoman, also is supposed to in the public imagination end up with a cis man. And don't even mention bisexuality... that's the current state of Korea. I was surprised it got on Network since about 3 years earlier a show got fined on cable for two women kissing. China, though, officially will not tolerate any homosexuality in its media and has gone after popular TV indie projects for addressing it explicitly. As in they censor it, or axe the show, as in one recent case from 2017, even though it was popular enough to be up for renewal. However, artists, being super cool have used the indie scene such as Go Princess Go, etc to challenge it as much and as early as possible, often taking potshots at the Chinese government along the way. Japan is just getting use to talking about trans openly, but only transwomen. Much more open in media, but as I siad, not in real life. And India... from what I've watched and asked has severely backslid considering the thousands of years of history accepting it. Taiwan inherited somewhat Japanese and somewhat Chinese values... so mostly follows Neo confucianism. Thailand, is far ahead of everyone... But Aces are still invisible. Except for that one screw up on Korean TV. That one irks me still. But the interesting thing, for me, is that these countries are often in dialogue with their media being imported and exported often freely (as in its not that unusual for someone from Korea to see a Japanese or Chinese show... and so on. Though oddly, Thailand doesn't import into said countries, but does take exports.) And along with that shift is a shift in how people perceive homosexuality, etc. Eurocentric countries may have quit using media to talk to the audience and ask questions beyond basic lit, but these countries haven't stopped asking and challenging even through simple rom coms.
one of my best friend stopped being friends with me after i came out to her. and by now, i guess she would have knew that her favourite artiste is also gay. karma’s a bitch.
Shannon K Fleming Yup and I can tell you that I have a cousin that is gay too but luckily my aunt and uncle accept him now. He has one brother and 3 sisters so is not the only boy, therefore, has less pressure on that issue of carrying on the bloodline.
I wouldn’t say it’s conditional love. Conditional love wouldn’t be willing to die for the sake of wellbeing of another. Culturally it’s not accepted so the parents were looking out for his best interest in the best way they knew how. On contrary, if their love was conditional then they could have either abandoned him or made him into their personal servant, they wouldn’t be willing to give up their own lives. They loved their kid the best way they knew how. So, please stop judging others and making hurtful comments about others. You’re welcome to have your own opinion but next time just stop after the first sentence before bringing shame on others that they might not even deserve (cuz you don’t know the whole story to be able to make that judgment.)
Hm...Isn't it kind of twisted/illegal to threat your own kid with suicide, just like those manipulating relationships? That is so sick!, why is everyone cool with it??
Because Asian countries haven't accepted the homosexual relationships yet. That'd be any asian parent's normal reaction if they learn their only son is gay. I have seen way more worse cases though. You can't blame anyone over that.
I'm glad he and his parents were able to improve their relationship. Many lgbtq+ kids are completely abandoned or disowned by their parents. And considering how important tradition is in Asian countries I'm proud of his parents for stepping up. Wish they hadn't put him through so much trauma beforehand though.
What an ass. How could he take that right from Aaron? Even if Aaron was dating multiple men, as a gay man the Ex-boyfriend should have known better then to out someone before they are ready, The Ex was selfish for doing that. This was years ago but didn't Aaron talk about how he lost out on rolls because of rumors of his sexuality? I get that the Ex was hurt but there are proper ways to handle a situation and possibly ruining someone's life is not one of them.
Well I can understand his parents specially when they are so traditional. However isn’t it more important for their child to be happy. He is what he is. He just need to stay true to himself, after all is his life. Wish that his family and friends accept, support and love him regardless. I still think he’s a good actor and singer. Best of luck to you, Aaron. Wish everything will work out for you.
As long as Aaron is happy then that is what matters the most. If you are a family member, friend or fan, you should love, support and accept him for who he is as long as he is a good person. Glad that his parents finally accepted him and will love him for who he is. I have a cousin who is gay and I told him that as long as he is happy then that is all that matters. I hope that everyone loves and accepts Aaron as he did not choose to be gay. His sexual preference should not matter. Hope his parents, friends and fans should love him unconditionally regardless.
Thank you for the info! Though i still don't really care about his sexual orientation in general as its technically none of my business to as long as my favorite artiste is happy in the end. GOOD LUCK AARON! WE ALL STILL LOVE YOU!
I adore Aaron Yan. He has so much character, passion and charisma. Through tough moments we have opportunities to connect and love. Many times those moments turn into arguments and further separation. I wish Aaron and his family continue to bond and unite. I wish that for all. Wish so much more love, happiness and joy for this great artist, his family and all of you who are reached by his ❤️ . Bravo Aaron 😘😘🤗🤗
I've known him because of Refresh Man and he's a really good actor. I was surprised by this discovery and I'm happy that he's not hiding himself even tho outing someone is never right (*intense glare towards the ex*). I'm incredibly sad that his parents had that kind of brutal response towards his sexuality. Why the h do you threaten to suicide if they're not like you want them?! What kind of parents could even think to say to their children to soffocate their inner self just because it's not like they want him to be? It's disgusting that these kind of mindsets still exist.
didn’t know there are openly gay celebrities in asia wait, i just found out he’s singer from the band Fahrenheit, i listened to their songs years ago :)
I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY IN MY LIFE TO FIND OUT MY FAVOURITE ACTOR IS GAY, I AM SO HAPPY TO BE ALIVE TO HEAR THIS NEWS, but his parents .... I shall not speak
He is one of the most amazing n talented actor❤️. I love his work sooo much. It changes nothing but I feel bad, how much he had to endure n prove himself to everyone even to his parents. I hope he is happy n living his life freely n enjoying himself.
I wish that we had many other come out and say they are gay! Especially the ones from korea. Your sexual preference is your personal life. I admire you the same🌈
You know whats crazy to me. Alot (NOT ALL) of korean fans want their idol to "act gay" with all these "ships" but once they come out then they are demonized. Hypocrites.
when parent does not know what force could they lost one and only son had.. imagine the pressure he must be in. its good he's still lookin' keep up with his life but once his nerve and mental can't bear with all of these.. then it's already too late to realize your wrong.. I know it's not my place to deliver this comment when Aaron not even someone I know personally.. but, I know one that had close to me, a late friend, with same family condition like him and he end up leave everyone behind.
@@k-beautytv5505 actually he oledi broke with first one,bt he didnt manage the broke up properly, and he gt to fall in love wif another two in different durations. In fact, one of his ex oledi hv new boyfren within few months and the rest gt more popularity in taiwan gay circle becoz of the news spread out.
I had a feeling he was gay years ago. I mean he dresses so well and his eyebrows did all nice. BUT I will continue watching his shows. I really like beautiful people on my TV screen. 🤗
He's a good actor & singer. I watched all his drama infact I used some of his drama in my text serye and love story 'coz I do really like him. So knowing this makes me sad but hiding true feelings & keeping himself happy infront of the other people are more painful & sad. Still I like him, a good actor and singer😊.
Im shocked I cried a little.. but Aron Yan is still Aron Yan and he is still the love of my life I love all his work and he has an angelic voice .💓💓💓❤️ And he shouldn't be judged by his preferences he can be with who ever he wants to. (I cried because of what it said about the parents not because he is gay )
My parents are religious and conservative (my dad 73 years old, mom 65) but surprisingly when I told them that my brother is gay they did nothing extreme and treat my brother the same.. they just sometimes give advise and remind my brother to pray
Aaron is actually bisexual. As an old fan, I remember his first love in middle school was a girl and he also had a GF in college. He said on an old interview that he doesn’t discriminate against dating guys. Now that I look back at the 2006 episode where he talked about his break up history, some of them were actually boyfriends lol 😂
When I saw thumbnail & caption honestly at first trust me I am so shook & shocked & I clicked the vid in a hurry bcoz I can't believe in my eyes what I just read it.. Aaron yan is a gay?? What seriously? & my heart is broken bcoz I always ship him with his female co - stars ha ha ha ha ha honestly I am feeling little bit sad now but you know what I love him whether he is gay or not.. As long as he's happy i'll always support him.. My liking for him & his work will never change.. But I am pity him bcoz all these years he went through a lot of things .. Please take care of yourself for us & we'll always love you whatever your sexuality.. Lots of respect & love from India.
Wtf? You should love your child no matter what. His sexuality has NOTHING to do with his parents. You homophobes are so fucking pathetic I swear. Y'all don't deserve kids if this is how you'd treat them for coming out.
Knowing that he's gay.. I love him even more ..because gays has a space in my heart i so love them. Btw i'm a girl that become a fan of Boy Love stories 💗 . Be strong aaron!! 💗
tantri willinda I am not shocked as I have heard rumors about it for a long time but it does not matter to me as long as he is a good person. Plus he is a filial son and is talented too.
After watching this video, his song "The Next Me" takes on a whole new meaning.... Aaron哥 needs to be brave, and I hope he inspires tons of Taiwanese LGBTQ+ people to be brave, as well.
Fall in love with me is the third taiwanese drama ive watch(1st meteor garden, 2nd murphys law of love) . And i love it so much because of aaron yan. He is a very good actor super, and so handsome. I was shock to find out that he is a gay😢😢 He is so handsome and so masculine. Im sad and about to cry now 😢😭.. But still he is a good actor and i like him. Hope he will be happy and live peacefully to the path that he takes now..
You can be gay and masculine. Don't be blinded by stereotypes. Most gay ppl look just like everyone else. The gays u can recognize when they open their mouth or just walk are a minority. There are all kinda gays just like straight ppl too. :) Its just a sexuality.
It doesn't matter... Whatever his gender.....it just matter he is on this earth and living his life... I will wish him good life ...never ever stress or abandon urself...❤️
Why can't people accept it normally... It's normal things to me 😊😊😊😊 I don't care if people around me lesbian or gay.. we should accept it equally.., stop thinking like that who is gay or lesbian just think their humane too... in my eyes it's not a big difference after all...
Like everyone on this Earth, Aaron owns his own happiness. It's entirely up to him to choose how he wants to get the best from it. You're an amazing man, Aaron. [from a guy in Australia]
Why do people care if idols or people in general are “gay”????? You love who you love doesn’t make you a bad person...... I feel bad for idols and LBGQ .......
OMg is this real I did not know he was I mean I’ve been his fan since 2013 and watched all his drama and songs this is very surprising but guess what I’m a yaoi fan and support him so much I mean wow he is like a very good and famous actor didn’t know he could be gay But I’m glad he is open about it i follow his Facebook but I can’t understand everything he posts since it’s in Chinese but I did saw something he posted long time ago where he was supporting the 🏳️🌈 rights but didn’t know he was gay and wow 😮 I’m shocked but it’s amazing 😉 and I love him and support him
how is it that all beautiful boys are gay ?
Sad for d ladies😥...Wishing him happiness though
You are right
mihaela lepadatu Not all but a number of them are. You cannot always tell if anyone is gay by their looks.
I feel you. Now i dont know where to find handsome straight guys
Nu știu, dar fiecare tip superb din toate punctele de vedere ori e luat, ori e gay. Oricum, îl voi susține pe Aaron până la capăt.❤

What is our world turing to. All the good looking guy are mysterious. I never thought he will be gay, but if he is happy as a fan I should support him
I never did too OMGG i shocked but at same relieved to know that now he's ok.
I definitely still love him LOL a bit more since I know he's a part of my family BUT people say whatever helps them sleep at night 😂.

He only got outed this month to media by his ex
Me too
Same! But it doesn't matter, he's Aaron Yan💕
Omg must've been hard on him pretending to be interested in women.

Must’ve been hard for him to kiss women and film bed scenes in dramas
Never mind just remembered that he’s bisexual. Btw his first love was a girl.

Though oddly, Thailand doesn't import into said countries, but does take exports.) And along with that shift is a shift in how people perceive homosexuality, etc. Eurocentric countries may have quit using media to talk to the audience and ask questions beyond basic lit, but these countries haven't stopped asking and challenging even through simple rom coms.
Can’t understand his parents if he was my son I’d be so proud of him!
Not every Asian parents can accept and most parents can’t accept the truth but that’s life
Name of this melody pls
He really convinced us with his acting. Lol. That just shows how good he is as an actor. Nothing changes. I will continue to support him
one of my best friend stopped being friends with me after i came out to her. and by now, i guess she would have knew that her favourite artiste is also gay. karma’s a bitch.
People's sexual preference really shouldn't affect anyone else. Shame on his parents. Very conditional love.
From one A.R.M.Y to another, I am an Asian and his parents reaction is as expected. He's actually lucky that they are now supportive of him.
Shannon K Fleming He is the only boy left as he has a younger sister that is already married.
Shannon K Fleming Yup and I can tell you that I have a cousin that is gay too but luckily my aunt and uncle accept him now. He has one brother and 3 sisters so is not the only boy, therefore, has less pressure on that issue of carrying on the bloodline.
I wouldn’t say it’s conditional love. Conditional love wouldn’t be willing to die for the sake of wellbeing of another. Culturally it’s not accepted so the parents were looking out for his best interest in the best way they knew how. On contrary, if their love was conditional then they could have either abandoned him or made him into their personal servant, they wouldn’t be willing to give up their own lives. They loved their kid the best way they knew how. So, please stop judging others and making hurtful comments about others. You’re welcome to have your own opinion but next time just stop after the first sentence before bringing shame on others that they might not even deserve (cuz you don’t know the whole story to be able to make that judgment.)
He looks gorgeous, especially his eyes. I like his acting and singing. It really doesn't matter who he likes. It doesn't change his talents.
Hm...Isn't it kind of twisted/illegal to threat your own kid with suicide, just like those manipulating relationships? That is so sick!, why is everyone cool with it??
@HH-Chan 😨😨😨😵😵😵
Because Asian countries haven't accepted the homosexual relationships yet. That'd be any asian parent's normal reaction if they learn their only son is gay. I have seen way more worse cases though. You can't blame anyone over that.
Rove R but they accepted eunuch in the palaces they are the truth Eunuchs in the palaces happened long time ago
When will Asian parents grasp the concept that sexuality is not a choice?
I'm glad he and his parents were able to improve their relationship. Many lgbtq+ kids are completely abandoned or disowned by their parents. And considering how important tradition is in Asian countries I'm proud of his parents for stepping up. Wish they hadn't put him through so much trauma beforehand though.
So what? He is a real person better than any of you .
Still love him!
Wow he went through a lot 😔😔
Is he the one from fahrenheit?
Ivy Najos yeah
What an ass. How could he take that right from Aaron? Even if Aaron was dating multiple men, as a gay man the Ex-boyfriend should have known better then to out someone before they are ready, The Ex was selfish for doing that. This was years ago but didn't Aaron talk about how he lost out on rolls because of rumors of his sexuality? I get that the Ex was hurt but there are proper ways to handle a situation and possibly ruining someone's life is not one of them.
what's the song? can anyone tell me what's the tittle of the song? I love Aaron yan . 💙💙💙
Well I can understand his parents specially when they are so traditional. However isn’t it more important for their child to be happy. He is what he is. He just need to stay true to himself, after all is his life. Wish that his family and friends accept, support and love him regardless. I still think he’s a good actor and singer. Best of luck to you, Aaron. Wish everything will work out for you.
I had no idea he was gay. He always plays these playboys in dramas! Must be weird for him to kiss all those women
As long as Aaron is happy then that is what matters the most. If you are a family member, friend or fan, you should love, support and accept him for who he is as long as he is a good person. Glad that his parents finally accepted him and will love him for who he is.
I have a cousin who is gay and I told him that as long as he is happy then that is all that matters. I hope that everyone loves and accepts Aaron as he did not choose to be gay. His sexual preference should not matter. Hope his parents, friends and fans should love him unconditionally regardless.
Oh..I never expected him to be gay..But this is is something you are born with...I hope he will have a long happy life ❤️❤️
Thank you for the info! Though i still don't really care about his sexual orientation in general as its technically none of my business to as long as my favorite artiste is happy in the end. GOOD LUCK AARON! WE ALL STILL LOVE YOU!
I adore Aaron Yan. He has so much character, passion and charisma.
Through tough moments we have opportunities to connect and love.
Many times those moments turn into arguments and further separation.
I wish Aaron and his family continue to bond and unite. I wish that for all.
Wish so much more love, happiness and joy for this great artist, his family and all of you who are reached by his ❤️ .
Bravo Aaron 😘😘🤗🤗
I really didn't know this...I'm too surprised...But it doesn't change my love towards him...Always Love u Aaron...♡
Straight or gay is work is as an actor and should not affect his personal life. People should respect that. His a good actor .
No wonder the poor guy isn't making dramas any more ,he must be tertibly depressed.
What is this song??? Plss tell me

Huh I would never have expected the man who starred in so many of the most famous Taiwanese romance dramas to be gay
Are you Aaron?
I've known him because of Refresh Man and he's a really good actor. I was surprised by this discovery and I'm happy that he's not hiding himself even tho outing someone is never right (*intense glare towards the ex*). I'm incredibly sad that his parents had that kind of brutal response towards his sexuality. Why the h do you threaten to suicide if they're not like you want them?! What kind of parents could even think to say to their children to soffocate their inner self just because it's not like they want him to be? It's disgusting that these kind of mindsets still exist.
He went through a lot 😭
I want to give him a tight hug for staying strong 😭
didn’t know there are openly gay celebrities in asia
wait, i just found out he’s singer from the band Fahrenheit, i listened to their songs years ago :)
I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY IN MY LIFE TO FIND OUT MY FAVOURITE ACTOR IS GAY, I AM SO HAPPY TO BE ALIVE TO HEAR THIS NEWS, but his parents .... I shall not speak
Now I want to see him in a bl drama or bl movie so badddddddd
It must have been so hard for him since he was a member of a boyband called Fahrenheit.. he was actually my bias but didn’t know he is gay..
As long as you happy Aron we still love you and keep being true to yourself long life and good health😘😘😘🍻🍻
I would expect him to be happy in life! Period! Good luck and have a beautiful life and love!
He is one of the most amazing n talented actor❤️. I love his work sooo much. It changes nothing but I feel bad, how much he had to endure n prove himself to everyone even to his parents. I hope he is happy n living his life freely n enjoying himself.
I do strongly agree
I wish that we had many other come out and say they are gay! Especially the ones from korea. Your sexual preference is your personal life. I admire you the same🌈
Myrna Murphy too bad in Korea you can not have girlfriend or boyfriend, neither gay ,why? Beacouse you will loose funs by dating.
You know whats crazy to me. Alot (NOT ALL) of korean fans want their idol to "act gay" with all these "ships" but once they come out then they are demonized. Hypocrites.
@@IloveMeSomeHim yeah I know what you mean.
@@IloveMeSomeHim so so true!
Most of the ones that are gay are from korea. They don't try to hide.
i always doubted he's gay, damn. also i love him for standing up for himself. he's a great actor as well 💞
I love his acting and I will continue to love him😘💙💕💜💞👍
Yes me too..
when parent does not know what force could they lost one and only son had.. imagine the pressure he must be in. its good he's still lookin' keep up with his life but once his nerve and mental can't bear with all of these.. then it's already too late to realize your wrong.. I know it's not my place to deliver this comment when Aaron not even someone I know personally.. but, I know one that had close to me, a late friend, with same family condition like him and he end up leave everyone behind.
that's not changes he is a wonderful actor ..and i hope his parent will accept him being gay ..that's not a crime
What movies he is in?
I'm his fan no matter what
Yes me too lots of love Aaron😘❤
He had 3 boyfriends at once though.. I used to be his fan but not anymore
I don’t give af of what u think
K-BEAUTY TV You actually believe that report about the 3 boyfriends thing?
@@k-beautytv5505 actually he oledi broke with first one,bt he didnt manage the broke up properly, and he gt to fall in love wif another two in different durations. In fact, one of his ex oledi hv new boyfren within few months and the rest gt more popularity in taiwan gay circle becoz of the news spread out.
Wow....so many positive comments. I am proud of us. People says that this new generation is getting worse but i don't think so.
Whatever he is . It's doesn't matter because he is really good actor.
Now guys can have him....
What... !!! im Shocked... I can't believed it...
💜I love his acting talent 💋he is a wonderful actor 🌸🌸🐰#love from army.....
I had a feeling he was gay years ago. I mean he dresses so well and his eyebrows did all nice. BUT I will continue watching his shows. I really like beautiful people on my TV screen. 🤗
I guess most asian men in the media are gay then, seeing as they dress well and are groomed
If he is homosexual, I think its not his mistake or he wanted to be that.its natural. Nobody can blame for that.
I still love him and all his work..may he have all what he wanted in his life.
He's a good actor & singer. I watched all his drama infact I used some of his drama in my text serye and love story 'coz I do really like him. So knowing this makes me sad but hiding true feelings & keeping himself happy infront of the other people are more painful & sad. Still I like him, a good actor and singer😊.
I still love him no matter what 😍😍😍...Anyone knows the background music?
Im shocked I cried a little.. but Aron Yan is still Aron Yan and he is still the love of my life I love all his work and he has an angelic voice .💓💓💓❤️ And he shouldn't be judged by his preferences he can be with who ever he wants to. (I cried because of what it said about the parents not because he is gay )
My parents are religious and conservative (my dad 73 years old, mom 65) but surprisingly when I told them that my brother is gay they did nothing extreme and treat my brother the same.. they just sometimes give advise and remind my brother to pray
Aaron is actually bisexual.
As an old fan, I remember his first love in middle school was a girl and he also had a GF in college. He said on an old interview that he doesn’t discriminate against dating guys. Now that I look back at the 2006 episode where he talked about his break up history, some of them were actually boyfriends lol 😂
All of them are boyfriend, you are still delusional, after 3years.
I think he is gay rather than bisexual but it’s not like it matters.
I belong to 1% population of people who had no idea that he's gay !! Aaacck 😭 WHHHYY?
That moment you had a feeling and literally knew he was into boiis but just found out that he actually is. Damn gaydar is actually a thing lol
Despite everything,he is still handsome good actor and singer.
When I saw thumbnail & caption honestly at first trust me I am so shook & shocked & I clicked the vid in a hurry bcoz I can't believe in my eyes what I just read it.. Aaron yan is a gay?? What seriously? & my heart is broken bcoz I always ship him with his female co - stars ha ha ha ha ha honestly I am feeling little bit sad now but you know what I love him whether he is gay or not.. As long as he's happy i'll always support him.. My liking for him & his work will never change.. But I am pity him bcoz all these years he went through a lot of things .. Please take care of yourself for us & we'll always love you whatever your sexuality.. Lots of respect & love from India.
That's my boy. We love you, Aaron. Go on and succeed in life. We're here.😌😌😎😎
I kinda sensed it
He was really distant with his female workers
But what I don't get is
Why is r apologizing ?
his mother had such an amazing character development wow
He is a great actor... I wish he will have a peacefull love life .....😊😃
I never know about that. It shock me.... where am I for all the time??
I think the worst part about this whole video was the fact that his parents threatened him with their suicide. smh
If i were his mother, i also didn't want my son becomes a gay. It means i fail being as parent
be ready to receive backlash later haha
Wtf? You should love your child no matter what. His sexuality has NOTHING to do with his parents. You homophobes are so fucking pathetic I swear. Y'all don't deserve kids if this is how you'd treat them for coming out.
No you fail as a parent if you don’t support your kid I truly feel sorry for your future kids if you don’t already have one
Knowing that he's gay.. I love him even more ..because gays has a space in my heart i so love them. Btw i'm a girl that become a fan of Boy Love stories 💗 . Be strong aaron!! 💗
which country he living???
I never know his sexuality until i watch this vid. I am shocked, 😥
But I still love him❤️❤️
Me too. This is first time to see this news.. wow.. but im proud him 😍😍😍being fan..
tantri willinda I am not shocked as I have heard rumors about it for a long time but it does not matter to me as long as he is a good person. Plus he is a filial son and is talented too.
Me too. I’ve watched his shows on netflix.
He’s actually bisexual
OMG!!!!!! what the hell.I just watched his drama and what am i hearing.This is unbelievable
After watching this video, his song "The Next Me" takes on a whole new meaning.... Aaron哥 needs to be brave, and I hope he inspires tons of Taiwanese LGBTQ+ people to be brave, as well.
Can’t believe😥,, I saw almost his drama and his legend kiss scenes and now I heard this🥺🥺
Such a broken hearted news😭😭😭
Fall in love with me is the third taiwanese drama ive watch(1st meteor garden, 2nd murphys law of love) . And i love it so much because of aaron yan. He is a very good actor super, and so handsome. I was shock to find out that he is a gay😢😢
He is so handsome and so masculine. Im sad and about to cry now 😢😭..
But still he is a good actor and i like him. Hope he will be happy and live peacefully to the path that he takes now..
You can be gay and masculine. Don't be blinded by stereotypes. Most gay ppl look just like everyone else. The gays u can recognize when they open their mouth or just walk are a minority. There are all kinda gays just like straight ppl too. :) Its just a sexuality.
I’m in the same boat when I watch those shows on Netflix. You know he’s on other show Just You.
Watch refresh man too
tempodo pop Oh yes I forgot about Refresh Man. It’s on my list I haven’t watch it yet
But Aaron is bisexual
It doesn't matter... Whatever his gender.....it just matter he is on this earth and living his life... I will wish him good life ...never ever stress or abandon urself...❤️
Why can't people accept it normally... It's normal things to me 😊😊😊😊 I don't care if people around me lesbian or gay.. we should accept it equally.., stop thinking like that who is gay or lesbian just think their humane too... in my eyes it's not a big difference after all...
Like everyone on this Earth, Aaron owns his own happiness. It's entirely up to him to choose how he wants to get the best from it. You're an amazing man, Aaron. [from a guy in Australia]
RIP GUILUN SHIPPERS.. including me.. To see them together in real live it's all gone..
Aishah Husin That is why onscreen and offscreen are two different worlds.
Why do people care if idols or people in general are “gay”????? You love who you love doesn’t make you a bad person...... I feel bad for idols and LBGQ .......
oooooooh I remember when I used to ship him with his group members looong time ago , well I am happy as long as he is happy
is this true?? my ghad I'm so sad...
OMg is this real I did not know he was I mean I’ve been his fan since 2013 and watched all his drama and songs this is very surprising but guess what I’m a yaoi fan and support him so much I mean wow he is like a very good and famous actor didn’t know he could be gay But I’m glad he is open about it i follow his Facebook but I can’t understand everything he posts since it’s in Chinese but I did saw something he posted long time ago where he was supporting the 🏳️🌈 rights but didn’t know he was gay and wow 😮 I’m shocked but it’s amazing 😉 and I love him and support him
Reading those comments give no relief. It is heart breaking truth for a teenager like me
