Are There Many Homosexual Idols In K-Pop? Former Idols Discuss
After numerous requests from viewers to interview a boy organization idol, second-generation celestial body Crayon Pop‘s Way brought soloist and former BLANC7 leader Shinwoo to her YouTube channel to answer some burning questions—including whether there are really a lot of homosexual idols in the K-Pop industry.
According to Way, a lot of the questions submitted to her “K-Pop Boy Community Q&A” video on WayLand were about homosexuality in the K-Pop industry. “We hear that there are many queer people [in K-Pop],” asked one fan, “But are there really a lot?”
Given that the Gay community is still seen as taboo in South Korea, there are very few openly same-sex attracted idols in the industry.
Soloist Holland and Superstar K competitor Park Woo Sik were two of the first male stars who came out as homosexual, while former WA$$UP member Jiae and Idol School contestant Som Hein are openly bisexual. KATSEYE’s Lara also came out as homosexual on Weverse a month ago.

Who's Gay in K-Pop? Pt.1
It’s almost inevitable in K-pop that same-sex couples will be shipped, from almost every band. And with each couple that is shipped, you also gain the people who rant about how none of our oppars and unnirs are actually gay, and same-sex shippers are delusional, and can’t tell the difference between fanservice and homosexuality(bisexuality & pansexuality included). But I want to look beyond shipping and fanservice, and girl team dances to take a valid look at who may actually fall somewhere between the middle and beyond of the Kinsey scale. I do ship, I won’t lie and pretend that I don’t. I think it’s a normal part of existence a human, and entity involved in pop identity, since there seem to be ships in literally every fandom that exists on Earth, including NBA, Harry Potter, Star Trek, and just about anything you can think of. But some ships are just for fun, and aren’t truly as questionable as others. Please notice free to talk to me about anyone in K-pop or any Asian entertainment that you reflect might actually be male lover, or that you believe I’m way off ground about, but in this post, I will be discussing a few of the K-Pop idols who I think are male lover and
K-pop idol Bain comes out as gay at JUST B’s LA concert: ‘f—ing proud to be part of the LGBT community’
In a moment that’s making waves on the internet, Bain, a member of the South Korean lad group JUST B, came out as gay during the final stop of the group's U.S. tour in Los Angeles. The announcement, made at the Vermont Hollywood venue, marked a significant and deeply personal moment for the 23-year-old artist, and one that could ripple far beyond the stage lights.
It is well known that the K-pop industry is known for its discipline, precision, and polished perfection, from razor-sharp choreography to the near-mythical expectations placed on idols. But beneath the glossy surface, the cost of conformity has long weighed heavily on many performers. While recent years have seen cracks in the industry's strict exterior, like BTS' RM's strong opinions on the compulsory military service or NJZ’s public fight for their music rights, Bain’s declaration felt like a move to reclaim an artist's autonomy in an industry rife with unattainable standards.
“Before I start the next song, tonight I want to share something with you guys,” Bain told the crowd, pausing as the energy in the r
