i rarely talk about kpop on here, but this pride month, maybe some people who see this post can give a stream to some kpop/kpop-adjacent groups that have queer members. groups like:
justb
member bain chose to come out as gay last year with full support of his group members and record label, a historic moment for an active kpop idol.
justb had my favorite release in all of kpop last year. if you like EDM, hyperpop, rage, and that nostalgic late-2000s-early-2010s sound, give their EP "snow angel" a listen.
XLOV
xlov is a "genderless" kpop group with members who all use any pronouns and style themselves regardless of the gender binary.
their latest EP, "i, god" is a tribute to ballroom culture, and the members took classes to perfect the voguing choreography throughout the title track, "serve."
XG
member cocona chose to come out as transmasculine non-binary last year, and made the announcement while proudly showing off fresh top surgery scars!
in response, the group changed the meaning of their abbreviated name from "extraordinary girls" to "extraordinary genes" and now refers to themselves as an "artist group" rather than a "girl group." their latest release, "hypnotize" off their album "the core" is a disco banger!
lots of people like to drag kpop for "queerbaiting" fanservice, but there are some actual queer idols who deserve support this pride month!
