Bain, a member of the K-pop duo Just B, has told fans that he is “proud to be part of the LGBT community”—a uncommon statement in a field where artists’ behavior is strictly regulated and where celebrities usually keep personal information, especially relationships, private.
The 23-year-old singer is now one of the few K-pop musicians to come out in public.
During a solo performance at a concert in Los Angeles on Tuesday night, Bain made the news in front of the audience.
Videos going viral on social media show that the audience cheered loudly during the moment.
