Pablo, in his own words: "You know for Asian people to be a gay means everything will be difficult for you. Work, life, the societal relationships. But I'm proud of being gay, for me I have more freedom. I can face my real mind and to look for a true love. I think a couple doesn't mean a boy and girl! Two boys sometimes is better Hahahha .

(With regards to successes) Three years ago I decided to leave my country then went to Spain alone. But I didn't know anything about Spain and the language. But I arrived there alone. I found all things and after 3 months I can write a text in Spanish and get points from people's sentence. Hahahha.

(With regards to coming out) It isn't a story. I just met my first boyfriend and I fell in love. Really really deeply, hahaha.

In seoul it isn't really good for gay people to live. You have to keep it as secret. Because it will bring some troubles to you, but I never mind it. I just want to be myself.

Advice?? Ummmm just be yourself. Don't think it's weird. You should be proud of your sexuality. Enjoy your life! ( this is from an American friend. I got many advice from him )"
