KATSEYE star Megan has come out as bisexual, just weeks after her bandmate Lara came out as queer.

Megan has become the second member of the girl group to come out this year, following Lara, who came out publicly in March by telling her fans she is “half fruitcake”, after opening up to her friends and family at the age of 14. 

Taking to the South Korean musical artist platform Weverse, Megan joined Lara in a livestream where she shared, “I’m coming out — I’m bisexual”. 

LGBTQ+ charity Stonewall defines bisexuality as an “umbrella term” which describes a romantic and/or sexual orientation towards more than one gender.
