The music videos were released at the finale of the Project through an online sharing session on 10 January 2021.This Project aims to enhance public understanding of the transgender identity and raise the degree of recognition of transgender in society through popular music. It also serves to empower society to serve the transgender community and help the community consolidate its base.
