K-pop star that took the world to the world

Bain, a crisp Crisp passed half of the night with a concert of Los Angeles at night when the music is standing.

In a large fur coat and black glasses, the 24-year-old K-pop star said to thousands of fanet: “Before the next song – I want to share something with you.”

A short break and then: “I am proud to be part of the LGBTQ community!”

As Ms. Gaga entered the anthem of pride, he applauded the joys and screams and shouted: “Just let the paw,” you were born in this way, baby. ”

As soon as he was in the world, he was not nervous, he spoke to the BBC in a interview in the studio in Seoul, but he worked to “sound cool.”

One handful of K-Pop artist turned out like a gay in recent years – but none is open.

Even in 2025, this is a courageous movement in the entertainment industry of South Korea, where the stars are taken to impossible standards. Staying to a heterosexual relationship is a scandalous.

“There were a people known in the industry (I thought to go out) and warned me, he said he would have a risk.” “Of course, I thought about the risk – fans can lose.

“But then I thought society changes … I can get more than I can lose.”

This is a big question: He opened the door to change the industry in a global, but is a conservative South Korea stops deep rooted?

Bain, the song of Byeonheel, who is the real name, said he was in high school, about 12 years old and gay, he said.

Shortly afterwards, K-pop decided to become a cadet, but he kept his sexual mystery – he felt that he felt like a gay.

“It wasn’t something I questioned … I just thought I had no choice,” he says. “There was no one else. (I was gay around me). I thought I could just claim and continue.”

Wealthy, modern South Korea is still traditional in many ways. Strong but conservative churches often see homosexuality as a disability or Sin. And the same sexual marriage is legally recognized.

In 2021, he made his brain debut as part of the six-member Boyban.

However, due to this, he took part in his part to the Bain.

“I was so much, I thought I couldn’t possibly be an idol. I felt very hiding. I decided to talk to my mother.”

It was about three years ago. Her mother was the first man in his family: “We talked for an hour and finally said: I love men more than women.”

His reaction was difficult for him. “Honestly didn’t like it. He thought I could cope with me. It was a mess. I was sad, but he said he was grateful.”

Then the members of the team and the company began to encourage him to bounce and say to the world.

The Band World Tour has started earlier this year and decided to take the stage at the last stop of the US tours, Bain.

Since then, the group is in the spotlight – a new face of Korean’s LGBTQ Society, which gives many countless interviews.

“I feel like I am very changed since I came out. I feel more confident. When I get acquainted with someone, he says,” he says. “But I am sorry that my personality is now so great.”

Over time, people say “Oh, he is gay, or rather, oh, he is who he is”. “

South Korean actor Hong Seok-Cheon went out like a gay in 2000, the LGBTQ office actually entered the main stream of the country.

He was the first Korean famous to open about sexuality – and the price came. Thrown from television shows and ads.

Since then, the relationship has changed. A pew request since 2019 has shown that the number of people receiving homosexuality increased to 44% in 2002 to 44% in 2002.

Again, another celebrities came out of a handful. In 2018, the Netherlands became the first open Gay K-Pop artist in the country, and in 2020 Jiae, former member of Jiae, Jiae, Jiae, was bisexual. Both were difficult to sign with a record label, he said.

Bain’s announcement was also celebrated by the LGBTQ community of South Korea.

“It’s not only the only one that people are like someone like someone,” says the 26-year-old Korean transgender woman, he does not want to call.

“This brings comfort … makes me think, maybe I’m as good as I am.”

Online, most of the comments were positive. A gay fan in Youtube, “Hatred Comments” after feeling “so many despair” and wrote how inspired after feeling discriminatory.

“But I found the courage to continue thanks to Bain.”

International fans applauded him: “I started to cry after the initial shock,” said Lia, a K-Pop fan of the United States.

“Korea still has some repression against the LGBTQ people, the courage and courage that seems to be amazed.”

South Korean’s cultural tracks grow globally, and this has brought fans everywhere with their prospects and beliefs. They can change the K-pop industry.

But this time will take place. And this is clear in response to Bain’s announcement in response to the interval of comments – declare indifference.

One, the country saw an increase in the right wing, received feminist beliefs in young men who appear against any call against traditional sexual roles.

These roles remain strong in South Korea. The government and the champion of the church have ordinary family values, young people who encourage young people and have children, so they have children.

If we take into account all this, it may not be surprising that homosexuality is still in a global industry, such as K-Pop.

It says a world, critic Lim hee-wool, even in a world where straight couples do not talk about private lives.

“K-POP has spent about 25 years to avoid the theme of sexuality. Heterosexual relations are also hidden to protect fan fantasies.”

Bain, he added, “He protested in a symbol and strongly in a strong way. I believe that the main moment.”

However, he believes that the fans reacted differently – “There may be explosive” – ​​a global boy a member of a woman turned out like a gay.

“The house’s work was important, but the group is not famous (thus) it does not have much influence,” Mr Lim.

Bain, of course, helped to increase consciousness, he agrees. “It’s a slow process, but we see more public figures created more public figures or content around these LGBTQ problems.”

However, in K-POP or any change in the entertainment industry, in his opinion, not likely.

“It’s not just a social issue – this is not a market problem. Male idols are generally a larger female fanatbase … (and) your favorite man is something you can be the object of all the love.

“If they do (they go out), the foundation of Fandom was established.”

However, Bain says that his decision will be worth even in the “K-POP win a power or gain interest.”

“I spent so long … I realized that I went out because others felt safe to do it.”

It reminds me of the day, saying about several fans, talking about his identity, saying that they were gay or lesbians.

“They thanked me and I thought himself ‘how fast I did it’.”
