Megan from CATSEYE Comes Out as Bisexual

In a significant moment for K-Pop, Megan of the global girl group CATSEYE (캣츠아이) has publicly come out as bisexual. During a live broadcast with fellow member Lara on June 6, 2025, she surprised fans by stating, "I want to come out. I am bisexual." Lara celebrated the announcement with enthusiasm, and fans responded with overwhelming support, expressing sentiments like, "I expected this, but it's amazing" and "Thank you for your courage."

Megan's revelation comes just three months after Lara's own coming out, where she shared on the fan communication platform Weverse that she is gay. Lara expressed pride in her identity, stating, "This is a part of me, and I am not ashamed at all. In fact, I am proud." She also reflected on her fears during her participation in the survival audition show 'The Debut: Dream Academy,' where she worried about acceptance but now feels assured and grateful for her fans' support.

In a subsequent live stream, Lara opened up about the fears associated with coming out, particularly as a person of color, but reiterated her gratitude for the support she receives from those around her, emphasizing that her sexual identity is an integral part of who she is.

Megan and Lara join a small but growing group of K-Pop idols who have come out as part of the LGBTQ+ community. The first to do so was Jiae from the group Wassup, who revealed her bisexuality in 2021, sharing her happiness about her girlfriend and her family's acceptance. Bain from the group JUST B also made headlines in May 2025 when he declared his pride in being part of the LGBT community during a concert in Los Angeles, marking a historic moment as the first male idol from Korea to come out publicly. However, his agency has refrained from commenting on personal matters related to sexual identity.

These brave declarations from idols like Megan and Lara signify a new wave of openness within the K-Pop industry, potentially inspiring others to embrace their true selves.
