SINGAPORE/SEOUL (Korea Herald/ANN): Megan, a member of the global girl group Katseye, has publicly come out as bisexual.
During a live broadcast on fan platform Weverse with fellow member Lara on June 6, the 19-year-old shared her identity with fans, stating: “I’m coming out. I’m bisexual.”
The two celebrated the moment together, jumping in place with joy.
Megan, who has a Singaporean-Chinese mother and American-Swedish father, debuted in the US with the six-member group in 2024.
This marks the second coming out within the group. Back in March, Lara revealed her sexual orientation through a Weverse live broadcast.
She shared that she realised she was attracted to women as early as the age of eight, and confessed that she was deeply afraid when auditioning.
“I didn’t know if people would accept me. I was scared it might ruin my chances,” she wrote at the time.
With both Lara and Megan now openly identifying as members of the LGBTQ+ community, Katseye stands out as a rare example of queer representation in the K-pop scene.
The sextet is a multinational and multi-ethnic K-pop girl group formed by South Korean entertainment company Hybe in collaboration with American label Geffen Records.
The group will return with its second EP Beautiful Chaos on May 27. -- THE KOREA HERALD/ASIA NEWS NETWORK
