Okay, fans — big news that’s been buzzing: 조선일보 reports that Baein from Just B has publicly come out. This is being framed in the piece as a milestone — one of the rare instances of a male K‑pop idol openly sharing his sexuality in the public eye.
As a fan, I’m proud and moved. Coming out is intensely personal, and in K‑pop’s conservative industry it takes a lot of courage. Whatever your stance, let’s respect Baein’s choice and give him the support and space he deserves.
What matters (short and clear)
- Baein, a member of the South Korean boy group Just B, has publicly come out, according to the report.
- The article highlights this as a notable moment for male idols in K‑pop.
Quick context fans should know
- Just B is a South Korean boy group; Baein is one of its members.
- Openly LGBTQ+ artists in Korean pop are still rare; solo artist Holland is a well-known example of an openly gay K‑pop soloist who debuted in 2018.
- Public coming-out announcements by idols are historically uncommon in South Korea due to cultural and industry pressures.
I’ll be following how the fandom and wider community respond — hoping for kindness, protection of Baein’s privacy, and thoughtful conversation. Sending love and support.
