KATSEYE Member Lara Comes Out as Gay

Lara, a member of the global girl group KATSEYE (캣츠아이) formed by HYBE and Geffen Records, has publicly shared her sexual identity. On March 24, she revealed through the fan communication platform Weverse that she recognized her identity as 'half fruitcake' and identified as a lesbian since she was eight years old.

Reflecting on her experience during the survival audition project 'The Debut: Dream Academy', Lara expressed her fears about being accepted, stating, "I was really scared that people might not accept me and that I could ruin my chance." However, she expressed gratitude for the love and support from her fans, which helped her embrace her identity.

In a subsequent live session, Lara opened up about the challenges of coming out, mentioning, "Coming out can be scary. Being a person of color adds another layer of fear for me." Despite these challenges, she expressed her appreciation for the support from those around her and her pride in her identity, stating, "My sexual identity is a part of me. I am not ashamed of it at all, and I feel great about it."

KATSEYE, a global girl group created through the audition program 'The Debut: Dream Academy', debuted in June last year with their first EP 'SIS (Soft Is Strong)' and has been actively participating in music broadcasts in South Korea.
