Many netizens interpreted his words as a supportive gesture toward the LGBTQIA+ community. They highlighted its significance in promoting acceptance.

"i love being a zerose as a queer person so much im going to cry," shared a fan.

"being bi and not really having a method to the madness of me liking someone, jiwoong and zb1 mean so much to me. There truly are no conditions. Love who you love." wrote this fan.

"Reading and hearing this as a queer fan who has always struggled with her sexuality in life means the actual world I am legitimately about to cry right now" wrote an X user.

Zerobaseone's fandom ZEROSEs praised the band member and the group for creating a safe environment for queer fans.

"this one is for all my queer zeroses out there and you cannot tell me otherwise 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ jiwoongie thank you for making sure we know you're a safe space for everyone no matter what 🥹💛," posted another fan.

The context of his speech held particular weight, as Thailand recently became the first Southeast Asian nation to legalize same-sex marriage. This made the message even more relevant in this cultural landscape.
