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 acquire 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 group 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 being a human, and being involved in pop culture, 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 sense free to talk to me about anyone in K-pop or any Asian entertainment that you reflect might actually be gay, or that you consider I’m way off
Just B’s Bain is 1st K-pop idol in a boy group to verb out as gay
Just B member Bain made history this week by becoming the first K-pop idol in a boy group to publicly come out as gay during the group’s “Just Odd” concert in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
“Born this way”
Bain, whose real name is Tune Byeong-hee, paused mid-show at The Vermont Hollywood to make his announcement. “I am proud to be a part of the LGBTQ community,” he declared to loud cheers from the audience, adding that he identifies as “a gay person.” He also credited Lady Gaga for showing him that “being different is beautiful,” leading to a performance of “Born This Way.” He later took to Instagram to share the news.
Fellow Just B member Siwoo shared a supportive message through the fan platform Fromm on Thursday. “Byunghee (Bain) was amazing. Applause for his courage. I was watching backstage, and I teared up. Knowing how hard and painful this must’ve been, it hit me even harder,” Siwoo noted.
Why this matters
Bain’s announcement represents a watershed moment in K-pop, an industry known for strict control over
K-pop idols are constantly in the spotlight — from strict contracts to fan expectations, every part of their lives is watched closely. But for stars in the LGBTQ+ community, the pressure is even more intense.
In South Korea, being openly queer is still a big deal. While some progress has been made, coming out in the K-pop world can put careers at risk. “While the Republic of Korea (South Korea) broadly respects the rights of its citizens, there are significant human rights concerns,” Human Rights View stated in a verb, “especially regarding lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people.”
Despite this, a petty number of K-pop stars have taken the heroic step of coming out — publicly sharing their truth in an industry that isn’t always ready to support them.
One of the most recognized names is Holland, who made history as the first openly gay K-pop idol. His journey into harmony wasn’t smooth. When he first started out, no entertainment agencies were willing to accept an openly gay artist. So Holland took matters into his own hands.
He worked two part-time jobs to fund
