omg niki congrats!!! And only congrats!!! I understand the feeling of shame and guilt built from Essex playgrounds lol but you are only wonderful and have burst through all of that horrid wrong programming. Ur amazing ur AMAZING YAYYYYY 🌈🌈🌈
haven't kept up to date with this channel in a while and seeing this in my subscriptions made me so happy ! so proud of you and glad you've had the courage to post this
niki, i’m so so proud of you hun!! i remember when i first saw you, at the girl guides big gig and i never thought i’d still be here, support and loving you. i’m glad to still be here and i happy that your showing us who you are and that’s all people could ask for. we love you and we will always love you
Haven’t watched your videos in absolutely years but you helped me through so much. We love you no matter what, stay true to yourself and keep on being you 🌈💜
You wrote me a a reply to a letter I sent 7 years ago and it was my most cherished item I had. To this day my grandad has it framed and hangin up on his 'family' wall because he knows how much it meant to be. You will always be Niki and we will always support you. I'm so proud, as a long time fan. Chiará x
Hey Chiara thank you so much I really really appreciate everything you said and I'm so grateful you're here now! You're a hero. And so is your grandad xx
I’ve put this on every social media site and now I’m commenting here - I’m SO proud of you. Knowing you can now be your true self with everyone is beautiful and I hope that brings you so much more happiness and comfort because you deserve nothing less.❤️ We all still love you, adore you and appreciate you, and I’m looking forward to whenever I’m going to see you next.✨
Been following you both since your canned food challenge video. I'm so damn proud of you Niki. You're free now. No need to look back anymore, just charge the fuck forward!! ❤️
So proud of you! I know how much of a relief this must be, I really hope you're able to feel a lot more free now. Also I want to say thank you, I'm in pretty much the exact same position atm. I've known I was gay since I was 12 too and I'm 20 now and get frustrated at myself for not being able to be as brave as the people in coming out videos I've watched as well. I just can't seem to get over the shame so I push it away and don't want to deal with it either. It seems like other people struggle but manage to come to terms with it over the years and then are fine with it and I always worry that I'll never get to that point. But this video just proves we really aren't alone and has given me the hope that I will get there (just like you have), one day as well. Thank you so much again for being brave enough to open up about this, you really will help so many people!
Aimee A I hope that you can get over that hurdle the way that I am getting over at 16. I am very happy that there are ppl out there (like yourself) discussing their issues that other may relate to. I am living in Jamaica, which is Avery homophobic country and though my position in life is privileged; it’s still dangerous; but I have gotten over the hurdle of fear and skepticism of coming out , and I have come out to 5 ppl this year. I just advise that you fully accept yourself, and then realize that there is no right time and that you should just say it; it feels weird at first but u will get over it P.S. Be sure abt who u confide in and come out to in certain situations Good Luck In Life 👍 🍀
I took a break from watching this channel, and i don’t regret coming back with this video. your words are inspirational. I feel like I see you eye to eye, rather than someone a look up to (not that I couldn’t) it feels pure and genuine like you’re a person just like me.
I remember crying on New Years Eve, devastated for not being ready and brave enough to come out and starting a decade lying to myself and others. It's just not my time yet. I am so glad you're ready and wish you all the best. You're brave.
Thank you so much for this Niki, it must've been so difficult to make this but it's finally up there! I'm 22 and I know as a Muslim, pakistani girl I am never going to be able to come out to my parents and will have to live with that lie. I've come out to my closest friends and cousins but really nothing has changed. There really has been no coming out video like yours, it has helped more than you can imagine xxx
Niki I am so so proud of you for being so brave and choosing to come out at your own pace! Seeing you emotional made me emotional but I’m so happy that you’re in a brighter place right now after suppressing your feelings for so long. We love you so much and will continue to support you forever. I’m sure you’ve inspired so many younger people through this video and I’m really thankful for that. Love you lots x
niki try not to make me cry challenge :((( bub i am so so proud of you!! istg all you do is give people so much fkn inspiration, day in and day out! you've been in my life for the past 5 years, going from 12-17, and fucking hell you have given so much to me. you guys are literally one of the reasons i came out as bi to my friends and family last year and if it wasn't for your help then i doubt it would've happened for another few years at least. so thank you. thank you for trusting us all and thank you for being you. i adore you so much niki
I am so proud of you dear Niki ♥️ We love you for you ! Whatever you choose in life it's yours and yours only ! Although it's tough, you should feel happy about living your life the way you want to live it and love who do you want to love ! Take good care of yourself Niki! xxxxxx ♥️
This was a nice video. I think it’s hard for people who aren’t out or openly gay. I struggled with this too, but I’m glad I’m not the only one who realized how it seemed like a big deal but it ended up really not being one it’s just a part of me - good job!!!
Hi Niki, a great talk, thank you. It takes guts to come to grips with who we are and I know that you'll do well by following your Truth and being who you are. I was 47 before I came out and before I could accept myself as being a gay man. That was many years ago now and these days I'm in a very happy space. Before I accepted the Truth of being who I am, I was often in a very negative space and depressed, used to have violent mood swings and had negative thoughts about myself (mostly put there by fundamentalist religion) and thought of suicide many times. Since accepting the truth about who I am it was as though I had received a 'Get out of jail' card. I felt free for the first time and it was my Truth that had set me free. By the way, all the depression and negative thoughts just literally fell off and I've been in a very good space for many years. I'm now 75 and try to do what I can to assist others while being deeply involved with music at a professional level. Go well my friend and follow your Truth.
Thank you for your video!!! I completely relate. I just turned 28 and I started coming out before my birthday. I've been looking for a coming out video from someone like you to know that I'm not alone with being this age and at this stage
This made me tear up, I guess I can relate.. Been always really good at hiding things/ keeping everything to myself so I know the feeling of disconnect.. So happy for you that you managed to come this far:)!
Platonically love you 💕 however hard this was for you, you owe yourself this happiness and love! Fun fact, I gave birth to my son in a Niki n Sammy t-shirt 😂 it’s in his memory box so I will be telling him all about you guys and why I have been a fan for so long. 💕
I came across the “Coming Out To My Twin Brother” video and automatically knew after that I just HAD to watch your coming out video! I’m so very proud of you! You gained a new supporter not only for your youtube channel, but also for your personal growth! Congratulations on having enough courage to post this and tell your family! xo much love!!
This is so strange bc i had a dream that you came out as gay a couple years back ! We are so proud of you. I know how hard it is to accept yourself for who you are and have the confidence to come out to other people. Well done :)
im so proud of you Niki, im so proud you are at a place where you are able to say it out loud. I have the exact same fear as you, I've come out to my whole mum's side of the family, there were def no negative reactions but I seriously hated doing it, I hate talking abut it with them I feel so intimidated and uncomfortable idk what's wrong w me. and that happened in like July 2019, still very much dreading having to come out to my dad's side,, I know its going to be completely fine but I don't open up to him about anything at all like we don't talk about anything I feel scared even telling him that my sisters moved houses I don't even know why so im absolutely shitting bricks talking abt gay w him. I know he'll be fine and im p sure he may already know as he includes both pronouns when he's talking abut my future relationships. anyhow Niki, your words really hit me and im so thankful that there is someone that has the same thoughts as me and that you're here thriving after doing what we're afraid of
Welcome to the club, lol. Proud of you. So happy that you've been able to come to terms with things and are able to fully be yourself now. Not just on camera, but more importantly, in your real life. I was also in my late 20s before I came out. Coming out videos like this one helped me a lot. Sorry they couldn't do more for you. I'm everything went well in the end.
Niki, I’ve been a fan of you for so so long. Meeting you and Sammy at sitc 3(?) years ago made me the happiest person ever. I am so incredibly proud of you. You’re absolutely amazing I hope you know that. I love you.
Omg seeing Niki emotional made me cry 😥 I wish I could reach through the camera and hug him and tell him it's okay and he should be very proud of himself ❤ I have nothing but love and support for this news, well done Niki xx
I have never ever been prouder of you. You’ve been my light to the dark and you’ve been the reason I’ve kept going and kept strong. Seeing you being yourself and doing this and getting to live your truth has made me so emotional and proud. When I came out to you at summer in the city with my subtle pride flag, you smiled said you loved it and showed me acceptance and I will show you the same. I will support you forever and now it’s your time to hold the flag and be proud. I nearly ended it all when I struggled with my sexuality but I’m so glad I held on to see you do this and finally be yourself. I’m so glad I found you in 2015 and I will never shut up about how amazing you are. Thank you for everything, here’s to the rest of your life being you. I have never been prouder of my friend. Lots of love from Steph xxx
I understand exactly what you mean, I think. I came out fairly early (at like 13) but it still took like a year for me to tell my parents because I was so scared of how they’d react even though I KNEW that they would be fine with it. It’s a weird feeling, and a hard thing to get over, and I’m so proud of you for managing to make that step.
Niki, i am so so proud of you for this, i understand how hard this must be to finally get this out in the open but its a weight lifted off you now and you can go on in 2020 being your true self and not have to worry about others finding out about your sexuality, I support you fully and my opinion of you hasn't changed at all, you are still the hilarious, clever and beautiful human that I have always known, you are enough as you are and you have this community around you to support you! you're the best and we all love you loads! xxxx
Wow this is the first time I've seen you, I mean I've never crossed paths with your channel through the youtube black hole but I wanted to say how thankful I am that I did get to see this video. I'm in my mid 20s and I thought for a long time I did wrong to come out so "late" to my family and friends, but you just made me feel like it's ok, that everyone has their own moment and it's fine :) thank you niki and I understand the feeling very well. - Blue
hi niki thank you for this! I just found out about this video despite having followed you folks in the past because I was browsing your channel for research, and I’m just so proud of you and thankful for this video. you might’ve thought it was deceitful of you to have not discussed this with everyone, but it’s not. the world just sucks. thank you for your bravery. thank you edit: the next most recent comment after mine is disappointing. but too bad. they’re missing out on the rest of what will be a wonderful journey with you. you deserve love and love only. 🤍
so proud of you for being comfortable enough with who you are to share it with everybody. I haven't watched you guys in a while and I can see such a change in you, you seem so much brighter and free I am so happy to see you like this, you deserve the world ❤️
I just came out as a lesbian to my family this year and I have STRUGGLED with it. Some of my family stopped speaking to me but some have been so supporting. I’m just so so so so so sooooooo happy for you and that you’re so comfortable and happy with yourself now. It’s amazing and you deserve to live your honest self💕💕🥰
Niki ive been watching you and Sammy for about 1 and half years now and ive never been so proud to be a fan and subscriber to you! Your videos make me happier and all Id want is for you to be as happy as you can be in your life. Heres to many more years of youtube and TTK and really pleased for you. 😊💜
I’m genuinely so happy and excited for you. I rushed home after work to watch this and two minutes in I started crying happy tears because I could see a difference in your demeanor. You were always authentic, but the way you presented yourself in this video shows just how free you feel to be your whole self. I’ve supported you since 2014 and I’ll continue to love you (platonically), support you, and root for you every step of the way. Have an amazing birthday ❤️❤️
Oh my gosh. I am so late. Niki!!!!!! I'm so proud of you!!!!! I've been with you and Sammy for ages now and I have never been prouder. All the best and ignore and and all haters. There are many people that love you for who you are. All the love
Niki, I can't express how proud I am of you. Even if I wish I didn't even had to be proud because I wish being gay would just be regarded as normal by everyone. But as you said, unfortunatly this still isn't the case. So that's why I'm so glad that you made this video and I think it is such a brave move of you to post this. I'm really sorry that you had to struggle so much and I'm hoping that this video and everything that comes with it will help you. You are such a great person and you deserve to be happy. And even if I'm not gay your video has really gave me confidence. Since a few months I'm also in therapy and a huge part of it is because I don't have any self confidence and I really don't like myself. I'm sure that this video will contribute a huge part to making this thing easier for me since you're a person I can relate to a lot. So thank you a lot and all the best! You deserve the world. I'm sorry for the long text... :)
So glad you are now happy with your life and lo longer carry this secret, I think it must be very liberating. I also think these videos will help anyone who is in similar situation and will give them courage.
i haven’t really kept up with y’all’s channel but ! so proud of u niki 💓💓💓 so glad you can finally feel yourself ! such a wonderful feeling 😊 i totally get that sentiment of wanting it to be a big important moment. when i told my parents it was scary and overwhelming and i had it so built up in my head, but once i’d said it it was quite underwhelming. they don’t exactly accept me, they just tolerate it i guess lol, we don’t talk about it at all, but yeah. i totally feel that perfect moment sentiment. sending you love and good vibes 💖
I gotta say I'm proud of you Niki, I know exactly where you're coming from, I'm 26 and I only came out 2 years ago because like you said of the fear and anxiety that the people I'm closest to wouldn't accept me which would've destroyed me so we push off coming out as much as possible for that "right time" but when they do accept us, we feel so much happier after we learn this, congrats on now being able to be your full fabulous self! 🌈😁
i really couldn’t be more proud of you right now niki. i’m happy you were able to make this video and be yourself. i’ll always support you, you are amazing and deserve the absolute world❤️
super proud of you niki! i’ve been watching you for like 5 years now n i’m so glad you finally felt comfortable to tell us :) sending you so much love < 33
I absolutely adore you both. Be proud of who you are, be proud of who you want to love and be happy in everything you want to do in life. If anyone sees this as negative, it will be more of a definition of their character and not yours... I hope that you will now have the emotional release by doing this video, but never feel you have been dishonest as you need to choose when and where you wish to share a very personal part of your life. Please know that you both have a wonderful supportive fanbase and having met you guys many times, I totally love and adore you both...remember I offered to be your kpop mum 😍😍. I'm so proud of you for doing this video but now is your time to be a free bird and be happy.....
Can i just say as a 26 year old gay man I completely get you! When you said that only 80% of you was in the room and that how you felt about the unknown. I resonate with this so much and completely understand it. So pleased this has happened and like i said so happy for you.
Genuinely so happy for you ❤️ It takes a special kind of self awareness to be able to tell a story like this in hindsight, and I know the incredible feeling that comes at the end of that. Good for you man x
Niki!! I can't put into words how proud and how happy I am for you!! This was amazing and I think there will be many people out there, both younger and not, who will feel comforted and supported and encouraged through your words. Thank you so much for being brave. Much much love and happy birthday!!
I know that I’m late to this video but I wanted to thank you for putting into words the way I feel, I’ve been trying to find them myself but I couldn’t. I’m 39, I’ll be 40 in 2021 and I decided few months ago that, having spent almost 40 years in the closet I didn’t want to spend another 40 there. So, in the last few days and weeks I’ve been coming out to my friends and family and so far I’ve only received positive reactions and full support but there are 2 points you touched here that really struck a chord with me: 1. For the longest time I’ve been in a dark place and whatever conversation I was engaged in, I was only partially there and I’m aware I could have been a better son, brother, friend. 2. I feel really guilty for doubting the ability of the people I love to accept me and to process what I was letting them know. Again, thanks for helping me finding the words I couldn’t find... if I felt better after coming out the first time, I feel even better today after watching your video.
I'm a Korean-American living in Seoul. More importantly, I am a huge fan & will ALWAYS, I mean A-L-W-A-Y-S support you and this channel. You've done so much to spread the love of Kpop and entertain a ton doing so. Can't imagine the courage to come out publicly but please know that you literally have more than 185,000 (and ever growing) fans & supporters across the entire globe. LOVE YA NIKI AND KEEP BEING STRONG!!!
Niki you should be so proud of yourself, in the world at this time it’s so hard to be honest and open. But you sharing your story can help others, as a mother of two openly gay children. Seeing you confess your story made me proud, I just wanted to hug you. Please continue to be the truly amazing person that you are, enjoy living your life and enjoy life around you. Thank you for sharing with all of us, we all love you 🤗👍💓
I started following you in 2014 and (not gonna lie) I haven't watched your videos in a while. But I'm so proud of how much you've grown through these past years ❤️
Yay!!!!! Well done!!! I’m so happy and excited for you not because your gay (doesn’t matter to me what you are as long as you’re a good person!) but happy and excited for putting this out here and what your future holds! ❤️
So proud and happy for you Niki!! It never is easy coming out but there's nothing like living free of the pressure of keeping it a secret. Also a very happy birthday to both of you we love you guys!! 💖💖💖💖
love you so much (platonically of course!) it’s been amazing watching not only you, but your channel grow these past few years. I’m so so proud of you, next time I see you, I’m giving you the biggest hug
niki, i think you're really one of the most incredible people ive known even in my short little life. you've always been on twitter saying lovely things to me and others and everyone appreciates ur existence so much. you're amazing and im so so proud of you, and im glad you're proud of yourself because you should be. keep on being you, lots and lots of love ❤️
I’m 12 and I’m pan romantic lesbian. It took a long time for me to build up the courage to come out to friends, and eventually parents. Eugene Lee Yang’s video made me want to come out. This video is really going to inspire people. Thank you for touching on how many horror stories there are. Most parents are totally fine with people being gay, believe it or not! To anybody who is still in the closet, take your time!
Asexual is where a person is not sexually attracted to anybody, where as when somebody is pan romantic they could still be lesbian, bisexual, or anything else.
So proud of you! Way to step outside your comfort zone which is frightening. You have nothing to worry about. You don't owe anyone an explanation about your sexuality. On the better side you can be a hero to others and now act like your true self with everyone. Hoping this isn't a conversation we require of future generations. We as a world are getting wiser and I'm excited.
Much love Niki. It's so hard being true to yourself even now as everyone is always watching online. My friends know the real me, but my family do not, I'm not sure how they'd take it and I'm genuinely unsure if it would be fine. However, I can't be untrue to myself forever so one day, I'm going to be brave too

Sending you so much love, Niki!!! :)
niki this is so amazing, i’m so proud of you, i will always live and support you. ugh my whole heart, so proud i love you 💖🥺 xxx
so proud of you, been here since 2014 and i’m not going anywhere. ly lots x
I came across the “Coming Out To My Twin Brother” video and automatically knew after that I just HAD to watch your coming out video! I’m so very proud of you! You gained a new supporter not only for your youtube channel, but also for your personal growth! Congratulations on having enough courage to post this and tell your family! xo much love!!
Thanks for watching Savannah, I'm really chuffed you enjoyed the video enough to follow us! I really appreciate it!
Niki and Sammy I literally screamed when i realized you responded 😂❤️ (and scared my friend)
This is so strange bc i had a dream that you came out as gay a couple years back ! We are so proud of you. I know how hard it is to accept yourself for who you are and have the confidence to come out to other people. Well done :)
im so proud of you Niki, im so proud you are at a place where you are able to say it out loud. I have the exact same fear as you, I've come out to my whole mum's side of the family, there were def no negative reactions but I seriously hated doing it, I hate talking abut it with them I feel so intimidated and uncomfortable idk what's wrong w me. and that happened in like July 2019, still very much dreading having to come out to my dad's side,, I know its going to be completely fine but I don't open up to him about anything at all like we don't talk about anything I feel scared even telling him that my sisters moved houses I don't even know why so im absolutely shitting bricks talking abt gay w him. I know he'll be fine and im p sure he may already know as he includes both pronouns when he's talking abut my future relationships. anyhow Niki, your words really hit me and im so thankful that there is someone that has the same thoughts as me and that you're here thriving after doing what we're afraid of
Welcome to the club, lol. Proud of you. So happy that you've been able to come to terms with things and are able to fully be yourself now. Not just on camera, but more importantly, in your real life. I was also in my late 20s before I came out. Coming out videos like this one helped me a lot. Sorry they couldn't do more for you. I'm everything went well in the end.
So much love for you
Thanks so much Nafisah! I really appreciate your kindness
Niki, I’ve been a fan of you for so so long. Meeting you and Sammy at sitc 3(?) years ago made me the happiest person ever. I am so incredibly proud of you. You’re absolutely amazing I hope you know that. I love you.
Omg seeing Niki emotional made me cry 😥 I wish I could reach through the camera and hug him and tell him it's okay and he should be very proud of himself ❤ I have nothing but love and support for this news, well done Niki xx
I have never ever been prouder of you. You’ve been my light to the dark and you’ve been the reason I’ve kept going and kept strong. Seeing you being yourself and doing this and getting to live your truth has made me so emotional and proud. When I came out to you at summer in the city with my subtle pride flag, you smiled said you loved it and showed me acceptance and I will show you the same. I will support you forever and now it’s your time to hold the flag and be proud. I nearly ended it all when I struggled with my sexuality but I’m so glad I held on to see you do this and finally be yourself. I’m so glad I found you in 2015 and I will never shut up about how amazing you are. Thank you for everything, here’s to the rest of your life being you. I have never been prouder of my friend. Lots of love from Steph xxx
I understand exactly what you mean, I think. I came out fairly early (at like 13) but it still took like a year for me to tell my parents because I was so scared of how they’d react even though I KNEW that they would be fine with it. It’s a weird feeling, and a hard thing to get over, and I’m so proud of you for managing to make that step.
Niki, i am so so proud of you for this, i understand how hard this must be to finally get this out in the open but its a weight lifted off you now and you can go on in 2020 being your true self and not have to worry about others finding out about your sexuality, I support you fully and my opinion of you hasn't changed at all, you are still the hilarious, clever and beautiful human that I have always known, you are enough as you are and you have this community around you to support you! you're the best and we all love you loads! xxxx
So so proud of you
I’m so proud of you, be true to yourself and be happy. Sending lots of support and love!!
I envy him, im still terrified on what to do.
Wow this is the first time I've seen you, I mean I've never crossed paths with your channel through the youtube black hole but I wanted to say how thankful I am that I did get to see this video. I'm in my mid 20s and I thought for a long time I did wrong to come out so "late" to my family and friends, but you just made me feel like it's ok, that everyone has their own moment and it's fine :) thank you niki and I understand the feeling very well. - Blue
This is so exciting!! I've been following you guys for 6 years now and its so great to see you this honest with us and so happy! I love it!
This is quite wonderful. I came out when I was 27 too. And I am so glad that I did. You are a truly lovely guy
Alexander, thank you so much! I really really appreciate your comment
watching this at my youth group i’m so proud of you 🥺❤️ congrats on coming out!
hi niki thank you for this! I just found out about this video despite having followed you folks in the past because I was browsing your channel for research, and I’m just so proud of you and thankful for this video. you might’ve thought it was deceitful of you to have not discussed this with everyone, but it’s not. the world just sucks. thank you for your bravery. thank you
edit: the next most recent comment after mine is disappointing. but too bad. they’re missing out on the rest of what will be a wonderful journey with you. you deserve love and love only. 🤍
so proud of you for being comfortable enough with who you are to share it with everybody. I haven't watched you guys in a while and I can see such a change in you, you seem so much brighter and free I am so happy to see you like this, you deserve the world ❤️
I wish I could do the same
Here’s to your 28th year 🥂 YOUR BEST SELF.
Thank you Cherry! I can't wait and I hope you get to be part of it too!
Related to so many points you made in this video, so happy you can be open and honest, and so proud of you 🥰💙
I just came out as a lesbian to my family this year and I have STRUGGLED with it. Some of my family stopped speaking to me but some have been so supporting. I’m just so so so so so sooooooo happy for you and that you’re so comfortable and happy with yourself now. It’s amazing and you deserve to live your honest self💕💕🥰
Niki ive been watching you and Sammy for about 1 and half years now and ive never been so proud to be a fan and subscriber to you! Your videos make me happier and all Id want is for you to be as happy as you can be in your life. Heres to many more years of youtube and TTK and really pleased for you. 😊💜
I’m genuinely so happy and excited for you. I rushed home after work to watch this and two minutes in I started crying happy tears because I could see a difference in your demeanor. You were always authentic, but the way you presented yourself in this video shows just how free you feel to be your whole self. I’ve supported you since 2014 and I’ll continue to love you (platonically), support you, and root for you every step of the way. Have an amazing birthday ❤️❤️
Felt every word of this... you do you! Proud of you.
OMG IM HERE TO SUPPORT I LOVE U!!!! MY GAY KING!!!! I am gay too I love u ❤️ proud of u 🏳️🌈
Oh my gosh. I am so late. Niki!!!!!! I'm so proud of you!!!!! I've been with you and Sammy for ages now and I have never been prouder. All the best and ignore and and all haters. There are many people that love you for who you are. All the love
love you. supported you since i was 11 and i’m 17 now. your courage and bravery is inspirational💘
Niki, I can't express how proud I am of you. Even if I wish I didn't even had to be proud because I wish being gay would just be regarded as normal by everyone. But as you said, unfortunatly this still isn't the case. So that's why I'm so glad that you made this video and I think it is such a brave move of you to post this. I'm really sorry that you had to struggle so much and I'm hoping that this video and everything that comes with it will help you. You are such a great person and you deserve to be happy. And even if I'm not gay your video has really gave me confidence. Since a few months I'm also in therapy and a huge part of it is because I don't have any self confidence and I really don't like myself. I'm sure that this video will contribute a huge part to making this thing easier for me since you're a person I can relate to a lot. So thank you a lot and all the best! You deserve the world. I'm sorry for the long text... :)
So glad you are now happy with your life and lo longer carry this secret, I think it must be very liberating. I also think these videos will help anyone who is in similar situation and will give them courage.
i haven’t really kept up with y’all’s channel but ! so proud of u niki 💓💓💓 so glad you can finally feel yourself ! such a wonderful feeling 😊 i totally get that sentiment of wanting it to be a big important moment. when i told my parents it was scary and overwhelming and i had it so built up in my head, but once i’d said it it was quite underwhelming. they don’t exactly accept me, they just tolerate it i guess lol, we don’t talk about it at all, but yeah. i totally
feel that perfect moment sentiment. sending you love and good vibes 💖
I gotta say I'm proud of you Niki, I know exactly where you're coming from, I'm 26 and I only came out 2 years ago because like you said of the fear and anxiety that the people I'm closest to wouldn't accept me which would've destroyed me so we push off coming out as much as possible for that "right time" but when they do accept us, we feel so much happier after we learn this, congrats on now being able to be your full fabulous self! 🌈😁
i really couldn’t be more proud of you right now niki. i’m happy you were able to make this video and be yourself. i’ll always support you, you are amazing and deserve the absolute world❤️
Niki I’m so proud of you for everything you’ve achieved personally and professionally lots of love and hugs ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Watched you guys years ago and haven’t kept up to date as much recently, just wanna say proud of you Niki!
Thanks for checking in Elisha! Haha thank you so much 💕
super proud of you niki! i’ve been watching you for like 5 years now n i’m so glad you finally felt comfortable to tell us :) sending you so much love < 33
So happy that you feel comfortable making this!! Will always support you
I absolutely adore you both. Be proud of who you are, be proud of who you want to love and be happy in everything you want to do in life. If anyone sees this as negative, it will be more of a definition of their character and not yours... I hope that you will now have the emotional release by doing this video, but never feel you have been dishonest as you need to choose when and where you wish to share a very personal part of your life. Please know that you both have a wonderful supportive fanbase and having met you guys many times, I totally love and adore you both...remember I offered to be your kpop mum 😍😍. I'm so proud of you for doing this video but now is your time to be a free bird and be happy.....
Can i just say as a 26 year old gay man I completely get you! When you said that only 80% of you was in the room and that how you felt about the unknown. I resonate with this so much and completely understand it. So pleased this has happened and like i said so happy for you.
Genuinely so happy for you ❤️
It takes a special kind of self awareness to be able to tell a story like this in hindsight, and I know the incredible feeling that comes at the end of that. Good for you man x
Niki!! I can't put into words how proud and how happy I am for you!! This was amazing and I think there will be many people out there, both younger and not, who will feel comforted and supported and encouraged through your words. Thank you so much for being brave. Much much love and happy birthday!!
love you so much niki, the future is only gonna funner and more enjoyable for you as you be your authentic self, im so so proud and excited for you
I know that I’m late to this video but I wanted to thank you for putting into words the way I feel, I’ve been trying to find them myself but I couldn’t. I’m 39, I’ll be 40 in 2021 and I decided few months ago that, having spent almost 40 years in the closet I didn’t want to spend another 40 there. So, in the last few days and weeks I’ve been coming out to my friends and family and so far I’ve only received positive reactions and full support but there are 2 points you touched here that really struck a chord with me: 1. For the longest time I’ve been in a dark place and whatever conversation I was engaged in, I was only partially there and I’m aware I could have been a better son, brother, friend. 2. I feel really guilty for doubting the ability of the people I love to accept me and to process what I was letting them know. Again, thanks for helping me finding the words I couldn’t find... if I felt better after coming out the first time, I feel even better today after watching your video.
I'm a Korean-American living in Seoul. More importantly, I am a huge fan & will ALWAYS, I mean A-L-W-A-Y-S support you and this channel. You've done so much to spread the love of Kpop and entertain a ton doing so.
Can't imagine the courage to come out publicly but please know that you literally have more than 185,000 (and ever growing) fans & supporters across the entire globe. LOVE YA NIKI AND KEEP BEING STRONG!!!
Happy for you Niki💙 I hope you feel free and your raw authentic self now! 💙 I'm so happy you did this for yourself!
Haven’t watched your videos in forever but I’m so so proud of you! You’re absolutely incredible 💓
Niki you should be so proud of yourself, in the world at this time it’s so hard to be honest and open. But you sharing your story can help others, as a mother of two openly gay children. Seeing you confess your story made me proud, I just wanted to hug you. Please continue to be the truly amazing person that you are, enjoy living your life and enjoy life around you. Thank you for sharing with all of us, we all love you 🤗👍💓
Good on you Niki 😍 it's been a long time coming, proud of you 😘
ive been following you for so long i am so very proud of you niki❤️
Thank you so much Natasha 🥰
I started following you in 2014 and (not gonna lie) I haven't watched your videos in a while. But I'm so proud of how much you've grown through these past years ❤️
Hey Lisanne, thanks for your comment I really do appreciate it (especially as someone that watched us back then!)
Yay!!!!! Well done!!! I’m so happy and excited for you not because your gay (doesn’t matter to me what you are as long as you’re a good person!) but happy and excited for putting this out here and what your future holds! ❤️
very proud of you and happy that you finally feel like you can be your whole self ❤️🌈 sending lots of love!!
Happy birthday and congratulations also to your coming out!
Niki, I am so happy that you are brave enough to be honest with yourself now. You should be so proud of yourself. Best wishes!
Really proud that you can now live life as you want, be happy and have the support of all your fans. Xx
Brb crying because I'm so proud of you for sharing this! You're bloody amazing, and you know I'm always here cheering you on!💖
Love you Niki! Thank you for sharing your life with us. I am happy for you. We are here to support you as always 💜
I’ll will support you no matter what just be yourself. I’m glad you came out it’s your time and people in your life will accept you the way you are. 😊
So proud and happy for you Niki!! It never is easy coming out but there's nothing like living free of the pressure of keeping it a secret. Also a very happy birthday to both of you we love you guys!! 💖💖💖💖
genuinely am so proud of you, you deserve the world x
I love how this video is 20 minutes and 20 seconds...in 2020
That was completely unplanned 🤯
love you so much (platonically of course!) it’s been amazing watching not only you, but your channel grow these past few years. I’m so so proud of you, next time I see you, I’m giving you the biggest hug
I wish I could give you the biggest hug, it takes guts to be honest like this. Sending so much love
niki, i think you're really one of the most incredible people ive known even in my short little life. you've always been on twitter saying lovely things to me and others and everyone appreciates ur existence so much. you're amazing and im so so proud of you, and im glad you're proud of yourself because you should be. keep on being you, lots and lots of love ❤️
I’m 12 and I’m pan romantic lesbian. It took a long time for me to build up the courage to come out to friends, and eventually parents. Eugene Lee Yang’s video made me want to come out. This video is really going to inspire people. Thank you for touching on how many horror stories there are. Most parents are totally fine with people being gay, believe it or not!
To anybody who is still in the closet, take your time!
Ur 12? And what is that pan romantic..?
Pan romantic is where you are romantically attracted to anybody, but not sexually. :)
@@just_lex1626 oh I call that asexual ok I got u now..
Asexual is where a person is not sexually attracted to anybody, where as when somebody is pan romantic they could still be lesbian, bisexual, or anything else.
From Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 especially from Jana vlogs channel i wanna to say that, Im so proud of you 👍🏼❤️
So proud of you! Way to step outside your comfort zone which is frightening. You have nothing to worry about. You don't owe anyone an explanation about your sexuality. On the better side you can be a hero to others and now act like your true self with everyone. Hoping this isn't a conversation we require of future generations. We as a world are getting wiser and I'm excited.
Proud of you and sending lots of love and support your way💛
Much love Niki. It's so hard being true to yourself even now as everyone is always watching online. My friends know the real me, but my family do not, I'm not sure how they'd take it and I'm genuinely unsure if it would be fine. However, I can't be untrue to myself forever so one day, I'm going to be brave too
