Lara Raj comes out to fans, says she's known she was queer ever since she was a child: Read more

Lara Raj, a member of Hybe’s first multinational girl group Katseye, came out as queer just last month. The Indian-origin songstress, 19, discussed her sexual orientation during a conversation with fans on Weverse at the time, sharing that she's known about it since she was young:

“I knew I was half a fruitcake when I was like eight, so I really was wanting everybody,” Raj said. “Honestly probably before eight. Isn’t half a fruitcake such a good way to explain it without saying it?”

She also shared her initial concerns that her s*xuality would impact her chances of landing a spot with KATSEYE, which was born during the 2023 audition show The Debut: Dream Academy:

“You know in Dream Academy, when it came out I was really really scared, to be honest. I didn’t know if people would accept me and I really thought it might ruin my chances of getting in,” she said.

As reported by The Korea Herald, an official from one of the major K-pop powerhouses acknowledged the news as surprising, noting that it would likely stir up a frenzy:

“Public perception on sexual minorities in Korea has improved a lot, as you can see many TV shows starring them (LGBTQ+ people) these days,” the official said on Tuesday. “But looking at it from the perspective of the overall culture, it’s still a big change. Reactions will likely differ by country. I'm worried because there could be backlash. I don’t know what kind of reaction will come, from where, or how.”

Music critic Lim Hee-yun called the songstress' coming out as “shocking and groundbreaking":

“While overseas pop artists have often come out publicly, K-pop — despite being creatively diverse in its content — has applied strict and conservative standards to the performers themselves,” Lim said at the time. “Even with the changing times, it’s surprising to see something like this happen in K-pop.”

He went on:

“K-pop content is full of indirect expressions of gender fluidity and sexual identity,” Lim said. “Fan fiction revolving around same-sex relationships has existed since the first and second generations of K-pop groups. Yet, these identities have remained hidden or suppressed in the public image of idols.”

He also reflected on the importance of K-pop’s popularity within LGBTQ+ communities around the world:

“As K-pop spread to the West, it gained massive popularity in queer communities, to the point where it was even nicknamed ‘gay pop,’” Lim said. “Part of its early appeal was tied to the idea of K-pop itself being an underdog or minority culture within the global music industry — something LGBTQ+ fans could strongly relate to.”
