KATSEYE’s Megan Comes Out as Bisexual, Joining Fellow Member Lara in LGBTQ+ Representation
On June 6, during a live broadcast with fellow member Lara, Megan said, “I’m coming out. I’m bisexual.” Lara expressed her joy and support, and fans responded with messages of encouragement.
This marks the second official LGBTQ+ coming out within the group, following Indian-American member Lara’s previous announcement, making KATSEYE a rare K-pop group with two openly queer members.
Back in March, Lara came out via a fan communication platform, stating, “I’m half fruitcake. This is a part of me, and I’m not ashamed—I’m proud of it.” She added “During the survival audition program, I was scared people wouldn’t accept me. But now, I’m confident” , thanking fans for their support.
KATSEYE is a six-member global girl group jointly produced by HYBE and Geffen Records, formed through the audition show “The Debut: Dream Academy” and officially debuted in June last year. Despite being less than a year into their career, the group recently entered the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Official Singles Chart Top 100 with their track “Gnarly”, rapidly establishing their global presence.
Riding this momentum, KATSEYE will release their second EP “BEAUTIFUL CHAOS” on June 27. They’re also set to perform at the “2025 Kids’ Choice Awards” in Los Angeles on June 21 and appear at the major U.S. music festival “Lollapalooza Chicago” in August, continuing their bold global journey.
