Veteran South Korean TV presenter Song Hae, who has been presenting famous music show “National Singing Contest” since 1980, praised LGBT events during a recent TV appearance.

Song, who is 91 years old, said there is “a lot to learn” from events celebrating sexual minorities when he discussed Jongno-gu, a district in Seoul often visited by older people, as well as members of the LGBT community, when he appeared on KBS’s talk show “Joy of Conversation” on Saturday.

“There is an emerging culture here (in Jongno). There are young couples of the opposite sex but there is also a global movement for those who are not,” Song said before the presenter of the show You Hee-yeol confirmed whether he was talking about queer festivals.

“When you go there, (it’s so busy that) there is no place to put your feet,” Song said. “In the past, older people would have been angry, but they are now clapping. There is a lot to learn … about the young people’s world.” Read more via Korea Herald
