Global girl group KATSEYE member Megan has revealed her sexual identity. Following Lara, she has become the second LGBTQ+ member of the team.

On the 6th (local time), Megan stated during a live broadcast with member Lara, "I will come out. I am bisexual." In reaction to the sudden revelation, Lara jumped up and shared her joy, and fans also sent supportive messages like, "Thank you for having the courage," and, "I expected it, but it's great."

In fact, there is already an openly LGBTQ+ member in KATSEYE. Lara confessed in March through the fan platform Weverse, "I am gay," and stated, "This is part of me, and I am not ashamed at all. Rather, I am proud."

At that time, Lara noted, "When I grants on the survival audition program 'The Debut: Dream Academy,' I was scared that people wouldn't accept me. But now I am confident," and expressed gratitude for the fans' support.

As a result, KATSEYE has become the first active girl group with two openly LGBTQ+ members. Especially, given the group's characteristic of having a global fandom, it has attracted significant attention for conveying messages of diversity and inclusion.

Meanwhile, KATSEYE is a global six-member girl group co-produced by HYBE and Geffen Records, consisting of members selected through the audition program 'The Debut: Dream Academy.'

The group, which debuted in June last year, will release their second EP 'BEAUTIFUL CHAOS' on the 27th and is set to make a comeback. Additionally, they are scheduled to take the stage at 'Lollapalooza Chicago' in July.
