JUST B’s Bain Comes Out On Stage in Los Angeles
On April 22, during a stop in Los Angeles for the group’s world tour "JUST ODD", Bain shared his truth with fans. He told the audience, “I am proud to be part of the LGBT community,” before performing Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way.” The moment was emotional and powerful, receiving loud cheers and support from the crowd.
This makes Bain the first openly gay Korean idol from a K-pop group to speak out about his identity in front of a live audience.
Bain’s Message on Instagram: “You Were Born This Way”
The next day, Bain posted a personal message on his Instagram, saying:
“I want to share something real with you. I’m proud to be a part of the LGBTQ+ community — as a gay person.
And my queen Lady Gaga showed me that being different is beautiful.
To anyone out there who’s part of the LGBTQ+ community, or still figuring it out — this is for you.
You are seen, you are loved, and you were born this way.”
His post received love and support from fans and fellow idols across the globe.
JUST B’s Agency Responds Respectfully
BLUEDOT Entertainment, the company managing JUST B, shared a short statement:
“Since this pertains to Bain’s personal life and sexual identity, it is difficult for us to provide a separate statement.”
This respectful response has been appreciated by fans, who are showing full support for Bain’s honesty and courage.
Who Is Bain from JUST B?
Bain is part of JUST B, a six-member boy group that made their debut in June 2021. The group is known for songs like “DAMAGE,” “TICK TOCK,” and “RE=LOAD.” Bain has been praised for his vocals and stage charisma, and now, he is being celebrated for his bravery too.
In the world of K-pop, topics like sexuality are often kept private due to cultural and industry pressures. Bain’s coming out as gay is a big moment for LGBTQ+ representation in K-pop. Many fans and activists are calling this a step forward for equality and acceptance.
His message, "You are seen, you are loved, and you were born this way," has now become a symbol of strength for young fans who may be struggling with their own identities.
