!!This singer provides examples of:

* ArcSymbol: Holland wears the same red shirt in I'm not Afraid and I'm so Afraid. The woman dancing in 'I'm so Afraid' also wears it. However, her jewelry and untucked shirt are on the opposite sides, making her a mirror image.
* BeachKiss: Subverted. There's a beach date in ''Neverland'', but no kiss on the beach. It does come right after.
* BeYourself: And how.
** Specifically one of the themes in Wish I Loved You Better.
* {{Bishonen}}
* CureYourGays: In a video, a friend tells him that his parents tried to have him treated for homosexuality. Holland is quite shocked to hear it. Averted with himself, as his parents are supportive.
* GetBackInTheCloset: ''Neverland'' is rated R because it features a gay kiss.
* FanCommunityNickname: Harlings a combination between Holland and darlings.
** It is also similar to the name of a Dutch town.
* HomophobicHateCrime: He is afraid that this will happen if he holds a fan meeting and therefore doesn't do it, since he doesn't want his fans to be in danger.
* HotterAndSexier: The kiss in ''I'm not Afraid'' is steamier than the one in ''Neverland''.
* IAmWhatIAm: In ''Wish I Loved You Better'', he comes to this realization after being suicidal. He puts on his make-up. The title of that song is also this.
* InDaClub: Holland's house gets turned into a club in ''I'm not Afraid''.
* InternalizedCategorism: Wish I Loved You Better showed how bullying hurt him to the point of being suicidal.
* KaleidoscopeHair: Like many Korean idols, Holland dyes his hair in different colors.
* LipstickAndLoadMontage: In Wish I loved You Better.
* MatchCut: At the end of "I'm so Afraid", the camera starts to spin around the female dancer and the image goes dark, cutting then to a similar spinning shot of Holland in the forest, doing the same pose as her.
* SchoolBullyingIsHarmless: Has talked about being bullied because of his sexuality. He explictly shows the effects bullying can have on someone in Wish I Loved You Better.
* UnexpectedlyDarkEpisode: Both literally and figuratively with Wish I Loved You Better. The MV takes place after nightfall. Instead of parties or beach dates, it deals with depression after being bullied. Even the make-up he puts on when he decides to accept himself is dark.
* VertigoEffect: Appears in a brief shot during "I'm So Afraid" where Holland stares at his female alter-ego, right before she starts dancing.
