"The rainbow just got a new headliner": Fans show support to Just B member Bain as he claims he's "proud" to be part of LGBTQ

Bain from Just B recently made headlines for his announcement during the band's concert in Los Angeles. Just B is a South Korean boy band formed in 2021 by Bluedot Entertainment. The group consists of six members, including Geonu, Bain, Sangwoo, Siwoo (who was initially referred to as JM), Lim Ji-min, and DY.

A clip from Just B's performance in Los Angeles was posted on Pop Base. In the clip, one of the members of the group, Bain, was heard saying:

"I’m f**king proud to be a part of the LGBT community."

ONLY Bs (Just B fans) erupted in cheer after Bain came out publicly. One fan commented on Pop Base's post, saying:

"The rainbow just got a new headliner." - @Soulbound_TV commented.

How did fans show Just B's Bain support after he proclaimed that he was "proud" to be a member of the LGBTQ community?

As seen from the clip, fans who attended the Just B concert in Los Angeles were excited and welcomed the newest member of the LGBTQ community, Bain. Netizens, on the other hand, had mixed reactions to the post. Some showed their support in the comments, and those who did not recognize the K-pop idol also expressed their happiness for the singer. However, there are a few comments that were not as wholesome as the others.

Have a look at some of the reactions from netizens regarding Bain's announcement.

Users who were not familiar with the Just B member commented:

"I may not know this artist but I supported them" - @blockxs said.

"Wonderful news, but who's that?" - @lyrics_kp asked.

A few of the supportive comments said:

"Takes guts to speak your truth like that in front of thousands." - @SirTopiano stated.

"and thats iconic cause he is like the only kpop idol that’s not solo and active with a group" - @geokonic__ commented.

"Bain’s courage to be true to himself on stage is beyond inspiring. Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it." - @SheKnowsScience expressed.

"Y’all seriously don’t understand how HUGE this is. There’s only a few Korean celebrities that are out publicly. Literally can count them on my hand. This is will definitely open doors for other KPop idols to come out." - @amayatheotaku explained.

Some users do not care about the K-pop singer's statement. Here are a few things they had to say:

"Fair play to whoever that is but it's hardly news. Boyband member is actually g*y has been done to death by now. It covers pretty much every boyband." - @hive_blockchain said.

"No one cares" - @BN_OTAKU wrote.

Trending

South Korea is known for its conservative views on LGBTQ+ issues. However, Bain's coming out message is considered to be extremely significant in the K-pop world. Fans believe that he is paving a way for other Korean artists to feel empowered to be their truest selves on stage, for their fans, and most importantly, for themselves.
