Megan, who is of Chinese and Swedish descent, became a Katseye member after the group was founded in 2023 from the show The Debut: Dream Academy; her bandmate Lara also came out as queer earlier
Pride Month just got even brighter. Katseye’s Megan Meiyok Skiendiel publicly confirmed that she is bisexual during a live Weverse broadcast last Friday, making it the second public coming-out within the group following fellow member Lara Raj, who revealed that she’s queer earlier in March.
“Guys, I’m coming out, I’m bisexual,” Megan announced during the joint livestream with Raj. They immediately celebrated the moment, jumping up and down with joy in front of fans. “I’m like scared now,” she added and laughed again.
Megan first hinted at her bisexuality a month ago during a live chat. “Why is everyone asking if I’m –” then she subtly mouthed the word “bi” and nodded her head, later adding, “Yes, I am.”
Katseye is now one of the only K-pop groups with openly queer members. In Korea, coming out as LGBTQ is still a bold and risky decision, as it can be met with strong disapproval from fans, which can jeopardise one’s career. Only a handful of idols have ever made such a move; Holland, widely known as “the first openly gay K-pop idol”, came out during his debut as recently as 2018.
