In an effort to keep it real with her fans, the 'Wonder Girls' alum described herself as "LGBT." "I have many different sides of me like dorky...and LGBT," Sunmi said. "There are sides of me that I know very well, like, just like I just said. And sometimes there are times when I don't know myself," she continued.
The crowd erupted in cheers and screams upon hearing Sunmi's apparent revelation. While Sunmi didn't officially come out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, the moment where she can be seen talking about her sexuality has since gone viral, with fans showing the singer support from around the world.
After the concert on Tuesday, Sunmi took to her Instagram account to share photos with the crowd. "Yes! Amsterdam you gave me so much energy tonight! I totally enjoyed the show and hope u guys too. And plusssss, we "BURN" the stage!!!!!!!! Love u so so muchhhhhh," she wrote alongside the photo.
The moment went viral, prompting Sunmi to clarify what she meant. In response, she tweeted, "Haha I was saying, 'I have so many different sides of me like dorky and LGBT queen...Yeah, I support LGBT but don't get me wrong guys," she added, probably implying that her initial comments meant that she's a supporter of the LGBTQ community.
Nonetheless, her fans still stood by her. The singer is scheduled to perform in Paris, France on this Friday.
