LGBTQ+ K-pop Idols Celebrate Pride and Visibility

In the K-pop world, some idols are sharing their identities with fans.

Holland was the first openly gay idol, starting his career independently.

Jiae, formerly of WASSUP, came out as bisexual and released her own music.

Bain from JUST B publicly announced he was gay at a concert.

KATSEYE members Lara and Megan also came out, as queer and bisexual, respectively.

These idols are choosing to be open about who they are, which is helping more people feel seen and supported.
