Recently, a number of Korean celebrities have managed to proudly be open about their sexuality. Earlier this year, K-pop idol Bain came during one of his group's concerts. Other than that, names like Holland and Son Heung-min have also become prominent as queer artists. Adding on to this list is KATSEYE Megan, who followed in the footsteps of her fellow member Lara and came out during a live stream!
Megan from KATSEYE comes out as a bisexual
In a recent live stream, the global pop star was talking about Pride Month with fans when she shared something personal live.
Megan officially confirmed on the live stream that she identifies as a bisexual person. The idol was on a live stream with fellow member Lara, who had previously already come out as queer, and they were trying out attachable hair extensions.
In the video, Megan can be seen wishing Lara "Happy Pride Month", to which Lara promptly replied, "You too," after which both of the members started laughing nervously. Lara was then seen encouraging Megan and said, "Just do it."
Video goes viral, fans and netizens shower the idol in support and love
As soon as the clip was shared online, it ended up going viral on almost every popular social media platform. One fan commented that "Megan feeling comfortable to come out as bisexual so casually on live makes me so happy for the girls.
They really get to be their true selves in this group. UGH, I LOVE MY KATSEYE. Anyway, HAPPY PRIDE MONTH TO MEGARA," while another shared that "You’ve seen other idols too, right? Coming out isn’t a bad thing. It’s actually a kind of reward that enhances fans’ experience of being a fan.”
Second member of KATSEYE to come out as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community
Before Megan, fellow member of KATSEYE Lara had come out as queer in a similar way, making Megan the second queer member of the group. While the member was connecting with fans on a popular fan forum, Lara revealed that she identifies as a queer person. She replied to a fan by saying, “I knew I was half a fruitcake when I was, like, 8, so I really was wanting everybody."
