Seoul, South Korea, will host a number of events for IDAHOT 2014

The Capital of South Korea Seoul will see different actions. So far, there will be an exhibition campaign about queer childhood, there are plans for a singing and line dance flash mob and a campaign about transgender Human Rights will be launched in the Itaewon area around Seoul.

Chingunsai, an LGBT-rights organization in South Korea, is going to hold a photo exhibition called “The story which I cannot tell my mum” on the Day. The showcased photos will be based on the submission of online entry of the photos of Koreans’ queer childhood, accompanied by their “secret story” of growing up as LGBT individuals.
